Waterdropsor dirt on the lens protectiveglass,autofocuswindowand lightsensorwindowwill make
it impossibleto take good pictures.Clean them before picturetaking.
1. Turn on the power,placethe subjectin the autofocusframe [ =   ] and composethe picture.(See
   figurelll.)      .    The lens cannot be focusedat distancesless than one meter.
2. Depressthe shutterreleasebuttonhalfwayand the greenlamp in the finderlightsup. The picture
  can now be taken. lf the green lamp blirlks,this indicatesthat the built-inflash is being charged
   or that battery power is too low. In this case, releasethe button and wait a few seconds befbre
   pressingit again.The picturecan be takenif the greenlamp in the finderlightsup. lSee figureB.)

   is used lor about 500/oof the pictures.(Accordingto Pentaxtesting conditions)
Battery Check
When the battery is properly inserted and the shutter button is pregqed halfway, the green lamp
at the centerbottomof the finderlightsup or blinks.(Seefigure1161.)*  The cameradoes not operatewhen the batteryhas been usedup or has been improperlyinserted.*  As the batterydepletes,flash rechargingand film windinglrewindingwill take longer. Replace

Handling Precautions
1.  Thiiis not an undenvatercamera and it may not be possibleto repair it if it is immersedin
   water. Contactauthorizedservicefacility.
2. Sand or mud enteringthe cameramay damagethe camera.Do not place it directlyon a sandy
   beach. lt is not designedfor professionalor other taxing uses.
3. The camera is damagedif dirt, mud, sand, dust or water entersthe camera when the film or
    batteryis replaced.Note that repairsof such damagesare chargeableeven during the war-
    ranty period.
   Removeany dirt or sand from the weather-resistantseals.A damagedpackingwill not keep
   the camera weather-resistant.Have your agent replacesuch a seal as soon as possible.
    After use wipe off any dirt or wateron the camerawith a soft, dry cloth. lf dirt is persistent,use
   a moistenedcloth to wipe it off and then swab the water with a dry cloth.
   Do not use paint thinner, benzeneor other solventsfor cleaningthe camera.
   Do not store or leave the camera for a long time in placeswhere the temperatureis high.
   Moisturecondensationwill form in the camerawhen it is broughtinto a warm room after shoot-
    ing in cold weather.Put the camera in the camera bag or a vinyl bag before bringingit in to
    lowerthe temperaturechange.Take out the camerawhen the temperaturechange is lessdrastic.
9. A camerais a precisioninstrument.Do not drop it or bang it againstobjects.Have it inspected
   when it is exposed to strong shock or pressure.
10.The camera operatesnormallywithin a temperaturerange of 50oC to -5"C.
1 1 . The cameracontainshigh voltagecircuits.To preventelectricshock and other hazards,do not
   disassemblethe camera.
12.The camerashouldbe returnedin for serviceeveryyear or everyotheryear to keep it in proper
   workingorder.lt is also a good idea to have it inspectedwhen it has not been used for a long
   time or beforetaking importantphotographs.
