• Care should be taken when removing 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 saved to the card, images or sound files are being played back, 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 card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the 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.
• For information on compatible SD Memory Cards, visit the PENTAX website.
• Be sure to format an SD Memory Card that is unused or has been used on
another camera. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card or the Built-in
Memory”. (p.162)
•
Please note that formatting the SD Memory Card will not necessarily delete the
data so that it cannot be recovered using off-the-shelf data recovery software.
There are off-the-shelf secure data deletion software programs available that will
completely delete the data. If you are going to discard, give away or sell your SD
Memory Card, you should ensure that the data on the card is completely deleted
or the card itself is destroyed if it contains any personal or sensitive information. In
any case, the data on your SD Memory Card should be managed at your own risk.

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.

represents brightness (dark at

and the vertical axis represents
the number of pixels.

contrast are correct or not, and lets you decide if you need to use EV
compensation and take the picture again.

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

Bright portions blink red on the display 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
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.

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.

Information on disposal for users
1. In the European Union
If your product is marked with this symbol, it means that
used electrical/electronic products should not be mixed with
general household waste. There exists a separate collection
system for these products.
Used electric/electronic equipment must be treated
separately and in accordance with legislation that requires
proper treatment, recovery and recycling of these products.
Following the implementation by member states, private
households within the EU states may return their used
electrical/electronic equipments to designated collection
facilities free of charge*. In some countries your local retailer
may also take back your old product free of charge if you
purchase a similar new one.
*Please contact your local authority for further details.
By disposing of this product correctly you will help ensure
that the waste undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery
and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on
the environment and human health which could otherwise
arise due to inappropriate waste handling.
2. In other countries outside the EU
If you wish to discard this product, please contact your local
authorities and ask for the correct method of disposal.

For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic equipment can
be returned free of charge to the dealer, even when you
don’t purchase a new product. Further collection facilities
are listed on the home page of www.swico.ch or
www.sens.ch.
