Originally posted by ecureuill I finally had my camera repaired by Pentax Portugal/Espanha \o/
I've just send an email to pentax with some questions:
- How much "Weather Sealed" is Pentax K30
- What caused the infiltration of water in the body?
- If the cause of leakage has been a failure such as a bad seal, this problem is solved?
- With the infiltration of water in the body, there must have been contact of water with the battery. Was checked the battery?
- If was cheched the lens?
As the technical assistance of Berlin told me that:
(a) the warranty would not cover because it had water on camera
(b) All internal parts to almost broken, the repair is unefficient
Also asked about this information. The item B worries me, because if that was true, I think the ideal would be to replace the equipment ...
Sorry for my english
I got a response from Reflecta (Pentax distributor at Portugal and Spain)
1. This model is resistant to
light rain, splashing water, dust, temperature up to -10.
2. The infiltration may have been caused by a flow of rain / water more intense or continued presence of water in the machine (
read page 6 of the instructions)
3. You can use the machine without problems as indicated in the instruction manual of the machine and observing that I mentioned in point 1
I read the page 6 of manual and the instructions is the same for a non WR camera...
