Waterproof and Dustproof Function
• This camera has been proven to comply with JIS Class 8 waterproof
performance and Class 5 dustproof performance (IP58).
• To enhance the waterproof performance of the camera, the front of the lens
is protected by glass. As any dirt or water on the glass will affect the quality
of pictures taken, the glass should be kept clean at all times.
• Leaving the camera on the sand at the beach may cause the camera to
exceed its operating temperature, or cause the speaker or microphone to
become blocked with sand.

slip the strap over your wrist when using the camera in or near water.
• Be sure to check that the battery/card cover is securely locked before using
the camera in an environment where it is likely to get wet or dirty, such as
underwater or at the beach. Water, sand or dirt inside the camera may
cause failure of the camera. Wipe off any water or dirt with a dry cloth as
soon as possible after using the camera.
• Avoid opening the battery/card cover at the beach or by the sea. Wait until
the camera is completely dry before changing the battery or the SD
Memory Card. Avoid changing the battery or card where the camera is
likely to get wet or dirty, and make sure that your hands are dry.
• If the camera is very dirty or after it has been used in the sea, make sure
that it is turned off and the battery/card cover is firmly closed before rinsing
it under running tap water or leaving it in a bowl of clean water for a short
time (2 or 3 minutes).
• Avoid cleaning with agents such as soap water, mild detergents, and
alcohol as this may compromise the waterproof performance of the
camera.
• Wipe off any dirt or sand on the waterproof packing or the packing contact
surface. The camera’s waterproof function may be compromised by loose
packing, or cracks or dents in the packing or packing contact surface. If
there is any such damage, contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center.
• To maintain the waterproof performance of the camera, you are
recommended to change the waterproof packing once a year. Contact your
nearest PENTAX Service Center regarding changing the packing. (A
charge will be made.)

as this may cause a loss in waterproof performance. If the camera is
subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera
to your nearest PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.
• Avoid getting sunscreen or sun oil on the camera as it may cause
discoloration of the surface. If any oil gets on the camera, wash it off
immediately with warm water.

Recorded Pixels and Quality Level of Still Pictures
Choose the number of pixels (size) and quality level (data compression
rate) of still pictures according to how you intend to use the pictures you
have taken.
1
Higher quality levels and numbers of pixels produce clearer images, but
the resulting increase in data volume reduces the total number of
pictures that can be taken (stored in the camera’s built-in memory or on
the SD Memory Card).
The quality of the captured photo or printed picture also depends on the
quality level, exposure compensation, resolution of the printer and a
variety of other factors, so you do not need to select more than the
required number of pixels. As a rough guide, i (1600×1200) is
adequate for making postcard-size prints. Refer to the table below for the
appropriate settings according to use.

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)
Dark portions Bright portions
contrast are correct or not, and lets you decide if you need to use EV
compensation and take the picture again.
4
Understanding Brightness
If the brightness is correct, the graph peaks in the middle. If the image is
too dark, the peak is on the left side, and if it is too bright, the peak is on
the right side.
Dark image
Correct image
Bright image
When the image is too dark, the part to the left is cut off (dark portions)
and when the image is too bright, the part to the right is cut off (bright
portions).
Bright portions blink red on the LCD monitor and dark portions blink yellow.
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.

[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
4
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 (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) is also an
effective way of reducing red eyes.
If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can
be corrected by the red-eye compensation function (p.139).

• When a stitched movie is played back, it may appear to stop for
about one second at the point where the two movies were joined.
This is because, in Movie Edit mode, the movie data is edited in
units of one second, so if the last frame of the first movie lasts less
than one second, it is drawn out to one second when it is joined to
the second movie.
• When two movies are joined together, the second movie file is

Printing Using PictBridge
By connecting the camera to a printer that supports PictBridge using the
USB cable (I-USB7) provided, you can print images directly from the
camera without using a PC. Connect the camera to the printer and select
the images you want to print and the number of copies on the camera.
• You are recommended to use the AC adapter kit K-AC8 when the
camera is connected to the printer. The printer may not work
properly or the image data may be lost if the battery runs out of
power while the camera is connected to the printer.
• Do not disconnect the USB cable during data transfer.
• Depending on the model of printer, not all the settings made on the
camera (such as print settings and DPOF settings) may be valid.
• A printing error may occur if the selected number of copies
exceeds 500.
•
Printing the index of the images (printing multiple images on a single
sheet) cannot be performed directly from the camera. Make the

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.
