About the Camera  
Warning  
• Do not attempt to take the camera apart or remodel the camera. High  
voltages are present within the camera, and there is therefore a danger of  
electric shocks if the camera is taken apart.  
• If the inside of the camera should become exposed as a result of, for  
example, the camera being dropped, please do not under any  
circumstances touch such exposed portions, as there is a danger of  
receiving an electric shock.  
• Wrapping the strap of the camera around your neck is also dangerous.  
Please take care that small children do not hang the strap around their  
necks.  
• To avoid the risk of it being swallowed by mistake, keep the SD Memory  
Card out of the reach of small children. Seek medical attention immediately  
if a memory card is accidentally swallowed.  
• Use an AC adapter that is of the power and voltage specified for exclusive  
use with this product. The use of an AC adapter other than that specified  
exclusively for use with this product may cause fire or electric shocks.  
• If the camera emits smoke or a strange smell, or in the event of any other  
irregularity, stop using the camera immediately, remove the battery or  
disconnect the AC adapter and contact your nearest PENTAX service  
center. Continued use of the camera may result in fire or electric shock.

wash the affected areas thoroughly with water.  
• 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, so please take care, as  
there is a risk of low temperature burns if such portions are held for long  
periods of time.  
• Should the LCD be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be  
careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or in your eyes or  
mouth.

Care to be Taken During Handling  
• Take the international warranty card with you when you travel abroad.  
Also take the Worldwide Service Network that is included in the package.  
This will be useful if you experience problems abroad.  
• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still  
working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at  
a wedding or during travelling). Contents of a recording such as images  
and sounds cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or data transfer  
from your camera to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction  
of your camera or recording medium (SD Memory Card), etc.  
• 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.  
• Places of high temperature and humidity should be avoided. Particular  
care should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot  
inside.  
• Storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled should be  
avoided. Remove from case and store in a well-ventilated place to prevent  
the camera from becoming moldy during storage.  
• Do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water or any  
other liquid, because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant.  
• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks  
or pressure. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the  
camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, or ship, etc.  
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C  
(32°F to 104°F).  
• The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperature but will  
return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.  
• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low  
temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not  
a fault.  
• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain  
high-performance.

• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation  
may form on the inside and outside of the camera.  
Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic bag, and take the camera out  
when the difference in temperature has subsided.  
• Avoid contact with garbage, dirt, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, salt, etc.  
as this may cause damage to the camera. If rain or drops of water get onto  
the camera, please wipe dry.  
• Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card” (p.23) regarding  
the SD Memory Card.  
• The AC plug cord supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with the  
Battery charging stand D-BC25. Do not use it with any other equipment.

Data Backup  
Very occasionally, data stored in the built-in memory becomes unreadable. As a  
backup measure, we recommend that you download important data to a PC or store  
the data in a medium other than the built-in memory.

Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card  
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before opening the battery/card cover.  
• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a write-protect switch.  
Setting the switch to [LOCK] protects the existing data by  
prohibiting recording of new data, deletion of existing data or  
formatting of the card.  
Write-protect switch  
• Care should be taken if you remove the SD Memory Card  
immediately after using the camera, as the card may be hot.  
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the camera off  
while data is being recorded on the card, images or sound  
are being played back, or the camera is connected to a PC 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.  
• Be sure to format unused cards or cards that have been used on another camera.  
Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card or the Built-in Memory” (p.138) for  
instructions on formatting.  
• 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.  
PENTAX does 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 card has not been used for a long time.  
(4) when the card is ejected, the AC adapter is disconnected or the battery is  
removed while the data on the card is being recorded or accessed.  
• The SD Memory Card has a limited service life. If it is not used for a long time, the  
data on the card may become unreadable. Be sure to make a backup of important  
data on a PC.  
• 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.  
• When you purchase the SD Memory Card, access the PENTAX website and  
confirm beforehand if they have compatibility with your camera. Inquiries on the  
card compatibility can also be answered by your nearest PENTAX service center.

Image Size and Quality  
Choose the image size and quality best suited to your purpose.  
Higher quality levels and numbers of recorded pixels produce clearer  
images for printing, but the resulting increase in data volume reduces the  
total number of pictures that can be taken.

When you choose high image quality as well as a large image size, it  
may take ten seconds or more for the camera to finish recording after

Using Histogram  
A histogram is a graph showing the  
brightness of an image on the  
horizontal axis and the number of  
pixels on the vertical axis (distribution  
chart of the brightness). The histogram  
will help you detect the brightness of  
the image you have taken. For  
instance, the graph peak tends to  
appear on the left side for a darker  
image, and the graph peak tends to  
appear on the right side for a brighter  
Brightness  
(Dark)  
(Bright)  
image. In general, when the exposure meter of your image is well-  
balanced, the graph peaks tend to appear in the middle. On the contrary,  
when the exposure meter gets imbalanced tending dark and bright  
without showing a neutral brightness, the peaks appear not in the middle  
but on both sides.

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  
manufacturer. If there is no representative 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.
