To users of this camera  
• Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong  
electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields.  
Strong static charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as  
radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage the stored data, or  
affect the product's internal circuitry and cause camera misoperation.  
• The liquid crystal panel used in the display is manufactured using extremely  
high precision technology. Although the level of functioning pixels is 99.99% or  
better, you should be aware that 0.01% or fewer of the pixels may not illuminate  
or may illuminate when they should not. However, this has no effect on the  
recorded image.  
• If you point the camera toward an object that is bright, a band of light may  
appear on the screen display. This phenomenon is referred to as “smear” and  
is not a malfunction of the camera.  
• There is a possibility that the illustrations and the display screen in this manual  
are different from the actual product.  
• In this manual, SD, SDHC, and SDXC Memory Cards are referred to as SD  
Memory Cards hereafter.  
• In this manual, the generic term “computer(s)” refers to either a Windows PC or  
a Macintosh hereafter.  
• In this manual, the term “battery(ies)” refers to any type of batteries used for this  
camera and accessories.

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

About the Battery and Charger  
• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance.  
Avoid storing in high temperatures.  
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the  
battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s usage span.  
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is  
recommended.  
Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera  
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.  
• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not  
leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.  
• As this camera is not waterproof, do not use the camera where it may come  
in contact with rain, water or any other liquid.  
• 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. If the camera is subjected to strong vibrations, shocks or  
pressure, take your camera to your nearest PENTAX Service Center and  
have it checked.  
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C  
(32°F to 104°F).  
• The monitor may appear black under high temperatures, but will return to  
normal as temperatures normalize.  
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.  
Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and  
outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, and  
remove it after temperature of the camera and surroundings are equalized.  
• Be careful not to allow dirt, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases or salt to  
enter the camera as this may damage the camera. Wipe away any  
raindrops or water droplets and allow the camera to dry.  
• Please do not press forcefully on the display. This could cause breakage  
or malfunction.  
• Be careful not to sit down with the camera in your back pocket as this may  
damage the exterior of the camera or the display.  
• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the  
screw in the tripod socket on the camera.

Cleaning Your Camera  
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or  
benzine.  
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use a  
spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.  
Storing Your Camera  
• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in high  
temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera.  
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated  
location.  
• 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.  
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain  
high performance.  
Other Precautions  
• Please note that deleting data, or formatting the SD Memory Cards or the  
built-in memory does not completely erase the original data. Deleted files  
can sometimes be recovered using commercially available software. It is  
user’s responsibility to ensure the privacy of such data.  
• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a  
write-protect switch. Setting the switch to  
LOCK prevents new data from being  
recorded on the card, the stored data from  
being deleted, and the card from being  
formatted by the camera or computer.

write-protected.  
• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately  
after using the camera, as the card may be hot.  
• Keep the battery/card cover closed and do not remove the SD Memory  
Card or turn the camera off while the data is being played back or saved to

• 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.  
• 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 another camera. Refer to “Formatting the Memory” (p.176).

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.  
Setting the Exposure (EV Compensation) 1p.107  
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

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).  
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.  
Electronic level display  
This camera is equipped with an electronic level for detecting whether  
the camera is level. When [Electronic Level] is set to O (On), the  
electronic level can be displayed by pressing the 4/W button.  
A bar graph indicating the horizontal camera angle appears at the  
bottom of the screen, and a bar graph indicating the vertical camera  
angle appears on the right side.

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.  
If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be corrected  
by the red-eye compensation function (p.162).

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 for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old Equipment  
and Used Batteries  
1. In the European Union  
These symbols on the products, packaging and/or  
accompanying documents mean that used electrical  
and electronic equipment and batteries should not be  
mixed with general household waste.  
Used electrical/electronic equipment and batteries must  
be treated separately and in accordance with legislation  
that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling of  
these products.  
By disposing of these products 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.  
If a chemical symbol is added beneath the symbol shown above, in  
accordance with the Battery Directive, this indicates that a heavy metal  
(Hg = Mercury, Cd = Cadmium, Pb = Lead) is present in the battery at a  
concentration above an applicable threshold specified in the Battery  
Directive.  
For more information about collection and recycling of used products,  
please contact your local authorities, your waste disposal service or the  
point of sale where you purchased the products.  
8
2. In other countries outside the EU  
These symbols are only valid in the European Union. If you wish to  
discard used products, please contact your local authorities or dealer  
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.
