Using the Histogram
A histogram shows the
brightness distribution of an
image. The horizontal axis
represents brightness (dark at
the left and bright at the right)
and the vertical axis represents
the number of pixels.
The shape of the histogram
before and after shooting tells
you whether the brightness and
(Dark)
←Brightness→ (Bright)
contrast are correct or not, and lets you decide if you need to adjust the
exposure and take a picture again.
Understanding Brightness
If the brightness is correct, the graph peaks in the middle. If the image is
underexposed, the peak is on the left side, and if it is overexposed, the
peak is on the right side.
Dark image

When the image is underexposed, the part to the left is cut off (dark
portions) and when the image is overexposed, the part to the right is cut
off (bright portions).
Understanding Contrast
The graph peaks gradually for images in which contrast is balanced. The
graph peaks on both sides but sinks in the middle for images with a large
difference in contrast and low amounts of mid-level brightness.

• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately after
using the camera, as the card may be hot.
• Keep the card cover closed and do not remove the card or turn the camera off
while the data is being played back or saved to the card, or the camera is
connected to a computer with the USB cable, as this may cause the data to
be lost or the card to be damaged.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it away
from water and store away from high temperature.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage
the card and render it unusable.
• The data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following
circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted
(1) when the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) when the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical
interference.
(3) when the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the SD Memory Card is ejected or the battery is removed while the
data on the card is being recorded or accessed.
• If it is not used for a long time, the data on the card may become unreadable.
Be sure to regularly make a backup of important data on a computer.
• Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity or
electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the card in direct sunlight or where it may be exposed
to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
• When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed, recording may
stop while you are taking movies even when there is adequate space in the
memory, or shooting and playback may take a long time.
• Be sure to format SD Memory Cards that are unused or have been used on

About the red-eye phenomenon
Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject’s eyes to appear red in
the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash is
reflected in the subject’s eyes. It can be reduced by illuminating the area around
the subject or moving closer to the subject and zooming out to a wider angle.
Setting the flash mode to c or d is also an effective way of reducing red eyes.
If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be corrected

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 non-authorized 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

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.
