product, we request your special attention regarding items marked with the 
following symbols.

• Do not disassemble or modify the camera. High voltage areas are present 

inside the camera, with the risk of electric shock.

• If the camera interior is exposed due to dropping or otherwise damaging the 

camera, never touch the exposed portion. There is the risk of electric shock.

• To avoid the risk of it being swallowed by mistake, keep the SD Memory 

Card out of the reach of small children. Seek medical attention immediately 
if accidentally swallowed.

• Wrapping the strap around your neck is dangerous. Take care that small 

children do not hang the strap over their necks.

• Do not look directly at the sun through the camera with the telephoto lens 

attached, as viewing the sun may damage your eyes. Viewing directly with 
the telephoto lens may lead to a loss of eyesight.

• Be sure to store batteries out of the reach of children. Seek medical 

assistance immediately if accidentally swallowed.

• Always use the AC adapter exclusively for this product, with the specified

using the exclusive AC adapter with an unspecified power or voltage can 
cause a fire, electric shock, or camera breakdown.

• If any irregularities occur during use, such as smoke or a strange odor, stop 

use immediately, remove the batteries or the AC adapter, and contact your 
nearest PENTAX service center. Continued use could cause a fire or electric
