Do not insert any fingers into the camera mount or touch the mirror.
The camera body and lens mount incorporate lens information contacts. Dirt,
dust, or corrosion on the contacts may damage the electrical system. Please
contact a PENTAX Service Center for professional cleaning.
Some functions will be restricted when one of lenses described in (b) is used
with the aperture ring set to the position other than s, or when a lens other
