FOR YOUR SAFETY  
We have paid close attention to the safety of this product. When using  
this product, we request your special attention regarding items marked  
with the following symbols.  
This symbol indicates that violating this item could  
cause serious personal injury.  
Warning  
This symbol indicates that violating this item could  
cause minor or medium personal injury, or material  
loss.  
Caution  
Warning  
• 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.  
• Wrapping the strap around your neck is dangerous. Take care that small  
children do not hang the strap over their necks.  
• Always use the AC adapter specified exclusively for this product, with the  
specified power and voltage. Using an AC adapter not exclusive to this  
product, or 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  
shock.  
• During thunderstorms, unplug and discontinue use of the AC adapter.  
Continued use could cause equipment failure, a fire, or electric shock.  
Caution  
• Do not short the battery or dispose of the battery in fire. Do not disassemble  
the battery. The battery could explode or catch fire.  
• Do not charge any batteries other than rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. The  
battery could explode or catch fire. Of the batteries that can be used in this  
camera, only the Ni-MH battery can be recharged.  
• Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or begins  
to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.  
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use. There is the risk of low  
temperature burns when holding such portions for long periods.

Handling the Camera  
• Always confirm that the camera is working properly when the camera has not  
been used for a long time, or before important occasions (weddings, trips,  
etc.). PENTAX is not responsible for consequential damages (costs incurred  
for photography, lost profits, etc.) arising from failure of this product.  
• The lens on this camera is not exchangeable. The lens is not removable.  
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol, or  
benzene.  
• Do not subject to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the camera  
in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.  
• Do not store the camera with preservatives and chemicals. Storage in high  
temperatures and high humidity can cause molding. Remove from case and  
store in a dry and well-ventilated location.  
• This camera is not waterproof, and cannot be used in the rain or where the  
camera could get wet.  
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a  
cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles, or  
ships.  
• The temperature range for camera use is 0°C to 40°C.  
• The LCD display may appear black under high temperatures, but will return to  
normal as temperatures normalize.  
• The LCD display may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due to  
liquid crystal properties, and is not a fault.  
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain  
high performance.  
• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and  
outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, retrieving  
the camera after decreasing the temperature difference.  
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts.  
These could cause a camera breakdown. Wipe dry any rain or water drops on  
the camera.  
• See “Precautions When Using a CF Card” (p.16) for details on the compact flash  
memory card (CF Card).  
• Please do not press forcefully on the LCD monitor. This could cause breakage or  
malfunction.  
• When you rotate the LCD monitor, please rotate it carefully in the correct direction,  
and do not apply excessive force. This could damage your camera.

• Check the images in Playback mode.  
• To cancel 3D Image mode, press the four-way controller (3) to switch  
to a different mode.  
• Taking pictures of a moving subject will not provide a three-  
dimensional effect, because two images are required for each  
subject. If taking a picture of a person, ask your model to stay still,  
and take the second picture quickly. Shifting the camera horizontally  
is much easier when using a tripod or other support.  
• The camera should be moved about 1/40 of the distance to the  
subject. For example, if the distance is 3m, the movement amount  
would be 3m÷40=7.5cm.Each individual sees 3D images differently,  
so do not be too concerned. Use the chart below as a guide, and  
experiment with different movement distances.

Viewing 3D Pictures with the Parallel method and Cross method  
Because our eyes are positioned about 6 to 7cm apart, each eye sees  
at a slightly different angle. The brain processes this difference to  
produce a three-dimensional image. This principle is applied to taking  
and viewing 3D pictures.  
3D pictures can be viewed by the Parallel method, where the left and  
right lines of sight are parallel (like looking far away), or by the Cross  
method, crossing the lines of sight. Viewing a 3D picture without the  
viewer may take some practice.  
Assembling the 3D Image Viewer  
Assemble the supplied 3D Image Viewer as shown below.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
How to view 3D pictures with the 3D Image Viewer  
Print out the pictures so they are 11cm to 12cm wide. Place the 3D  
Image Viewer divider between the two images.  
4
The distance between the eyes differ from person to person. Some may  
not see a three-dimensional effect even with the same size print.  
Pictures too large or too small make seeing the three-dimensional effect  
very difficult. Try different size prints until the right effect is achieved.  
• Never look at the sun through the 3D Image Viewer.  
• Do not leave the 3D Image Viewer in direct sunlight, as this may  
cause a fire.

Remedy  
Out of focus  
Subject is difficult for  
Autofocus to handle  
Subjects difficult for Autofocus include  
those with low contrast (blue skies, white  
walls), dark objects, fine-patterned  
objects, fast-moving objects, and  
landscapes seen through a window or  
net. Focus on something at the same  
distance as your subject, secure the  
focus (by pressing shutter release button  
halfway), aim at your subject, and press  
shutter release button fully.  
Subject is not in  
Focusing Area  
Position focusing target within the frame  
(Focusing Area) at the center of the LCD  
screen. If your subject is not within the  
Focusing area, first focus on your subject  
within the AF area, secure the focus (by  
pressing shutter release button halfway),  
then reframe your picture as desired, and  
press shutter release button fully.  
Subject is too close  
Set the focus mode on q. (p.36)  
The focus mode is on q When the focusing mode is on q, normal  
pictures will be out of focus.  
Picture is dark Subject is too far away If the subject is too far away, the image  
in a dark environment  
(night-scenes, etc.)  
will be dark. Take the picture within the  
flash range.  
Background is dark  
When taking a picture of a person against  
a dark background, the person may  
appear clearly while the background  
appears dark, because the flash does not  
reach it. If you select the Bmode on the  
virtual dial screen, both the person and  
the night-scene will be clear. (p.53)

WARRANTY POLICY  
All PENTAX cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photographic  
distribution channels are guaranteed against defects of material or workmanship  
for a period of twelve months from date of purchase. Service will be rendered,  
and defective parts will be replaced without cost to you within that period,  
provided the equipment does not show evidence of impact, sand or liquid  
damage, mishandling, tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, operation  
contrary to operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized repair  
shop. The manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall not be liable for  
any repair or alterations except those made with its written consent and shall not  
be liable for damages from delay or loss of use or from other indirect or  
consequential damages of any kind, whether caused by defective material or  
workmanship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the liability of the  
manufacturer or its representatives under all guarantees or warranties, whether  
expressed or implied, is strictly limited to the replacement of parts as  
hereinbefore provided. No refunds will be made on repairs by nonauthorized  
PENTAX service facilities.  
Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period  
Any PENTAX which proves defective during the 12-month warranty period  
should be returned to the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment or to  
the manufacturer. If there are no representatives  
of the manufacturer in your country, send the equipment to the manufacturer,  
with postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable length of time  
before the equipment can be returned to you owing to the complicated customs  
procedures required. If the equipment is covered by warranty, repairs will be  
made and parts replaced free of charge, and the equipment will be returned to  
you upon completion of servicing. If the equipment is not covered by warranty,  
regular charges of the manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping  
charges are to be borne by the owner. If your PENTAX was purchased outside  
of the country where you wish to have it serviced during the warranty period,  
regular handling and servicing fees may be charged by the manufacturer’s  
representatives in that country. Notwithstanding this, your PENTAX returned to  
the manufacturer will be serviced free of charge according to this procedure and  
warranty policy. In any case, however, shipping charges and customs clearance  
fees to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase when  
required, please keep the receipt or bills covering the purchase of your  
equipment for at least a year. Before sending your equipment for servicing,  
please make sure that you are sending it to the manufacturer’s authorized  
representatives or their approved repair shops, unless you are sending it directly  
to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service charge, and only  
after you accept the quoted service charge, instruct the service station to  
proceed with the servicing.
