Pentax 8542, 8572, 8557 Precautions When Using the Camera in the Water, Be Careful Near the Water

Be Careful Near the Water

•Avoid opening the battery cover when near the waterside or with wet hands. When changing the battery or the SD Memory Card, avoid places where the camera is likely to get wet or dirty, and make sure that the camera and your hands are completely dry.

•The camera will sink if dropped in water, so be sure to attach the strap to the camera and wrap it around your wrist when using the camera in or near water.

•To enhance the waterproof performance of the camera, the front of the lens is protected by glass. The glass should be kept clean at all times, as any dirt or water on the glass will affect the quality of pictures taken.

Precautions When Using the Camera in the Water

•Do not use the camera deeper than 14 meters underwater. Do not use the camera underwater for more than 120 minutes consecutively.

•Do not open the battery cover underwater.

•Do not use the camera in hot water or in a hot spring.

•Do not apply excessive force to the camera, for example diving into water with it. Doing so may compromise the waterproof performance of the camera or cause the cover to open.

•Do not leave the camera on the sand at the beach, as this may cause the camera to exceed the upper limit of its operational temperature range, or cause the speaker or microphone to become blocked with sand.

•Avoid subjecting the camera to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure as this may cause a loss in waterproof performance. If the camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera to your nearest service center and have it checked.

•Avoid getting sunscreen or sun oil on the camera as it may cause discoloration of the surface. If any oil gets on the camera, wash it off immediately with warm water.

•Sudden and extreme changes in temperature may cause condensation to form in and on the camera. Keep the camera in a bag or case to reduce the difference in temperature.
