LENS MOUNTING  
1. Remove the rear lens and body caps.  
2. Match the red dot (A) on the camera body with the red dot (B) on the lens.  
Insert the lens into the body and turn it clockwise until the lens locks with a  
click.  
3. In the dark, when the red dots are difficult to see, align the white plastic  
bump (C) on the lens barrel with the lens release lever (D) by touch. Then  
turn and lock as above.  
4. To detach, hold the camera with your left hand. Depress the lens release  
lever (D) while turning the lens counterclockwise with your right hand.  
CAUTION  
If you have to put the lens down without the rear lens cap, place it only on its  
front end, never on the rear. When changing lenses outdoors with film in the  
camera, avoid direct sunlight.  
A sliver oxide battery is packed separately. Be sure to insert it into the battery chamber before operating the camera.  
BATTERY INSERTION  
Open the battery chamber cover with a coin. Insert the battery with (+) side facing out. For replacement, use Eveready  
S76E or Mallory MS76H or equivalent.  
CAUTION  
The battery is like a phonograph record. It can be damaged by skin acids. Handle by the edges with a dry cloth only.  
Be sure the battery is cleaned with the cloth before insertion into the camera. The battery is not rechargeable. Do not  
throw dead battery into a fire, as it may explode. Also, keep it beyond the reach of small children. When not actually  
measuring the light, be sure that the lens is covered at all times. Leaving the lens cap off for an extended period will  
exhaust the battery.

Set the shutter speed dial to B (bulb) position. Turn the ASA dial to ASA 100. Look at the meter needle through the  
viewfinder. If the needle is in "up" position and remains steady, the battery is good: if it does not, replace the battery.  
Check the battery frequently. And take spares with you when traveling.

BASIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
1.TURN ON LIGHT METER  
Remove the lens cap and the meter circuit is on. The CdS cells measure the  
light coming through the lens for correct exposure.  
2.SET FILM SPEED  
Lift the outer ring of the shutter speed dial and turn it until the same number as  
the ASA number of the film you're using appears next to the small oragne  
index alongside the figure 1.  
3.SET SHUTTER SPEED  
Turn the shutter speed dial and set the speed you wish to use to the index.  
Generally, you should use the fastest possible shutter speed to avoid blurred  
pictures caused by camera movement. Try starting with 1/125 sec. outdoors in  
daylight and 1/60 sec. indoors.  
4.COMPOSE AND FOCUS  
While viewing through the viewfinder, turn the focusing ring until your subject  
comes into sharp focus.  
5.ROTATE DIAPHRAGM RING  
The needle moves as you turn the diaphragm ring. When the needle on the  
right side of the viewfinder image is at the center, you will get correct  
exposure. If the needle does not come to the center no matter how far you turn  
the diaphragm ring, change the shutter speed. When the needle is close to the  
(+) mark, you will get an over-exposure; change the shutter speed to a faster  
setting. If the needle is closer to the (-) mark, you will get an under-exposure;  
change the shutter speed to a slower setting.  
6.RELEASE SHUTTER  
Cock the rapid-wind lever. Hold your camera firmly and trip the shutter. Then  
cock the rapid-wind lever for the next picture. (When taking a series of  
pictures under the same lighting conditions, it is not necessary to repeat  
instruction 5.

FILM LOADING AND WINDING  
Avoid direct light when loading your film.  
1. Open the back by pulling up the rewind knob until the back opens.  
2. Place the film cassette in the cassette chamber, and push down the rewind knob. Insert the film leader into the slot of th  
3. Advance the film by alternately turning the rapid wind lever and depressing the shutter button until both sprockets engag  
perforations, top and bottom. Close the back by pressing it firmly.  
4. Cock the rapid-wind lever, and confirm that the film rewind knob turns counter-clockwise, indicating that the film is bei  
loaded and is moving from cassette to take-up spool. Trip the shutter. Advance the film until the exposure counter turns  
indicating that the first picture is ready to be taken.  
FILM REMINDER DIAL  
Use the film type dial as a reminder of what type of film is in your  
camera.  
The dial is marked  
for black-and-white,  
for daylight color  
film, for tungsten color film, 20 and 36 exposures. To set the  
dial, turn the outer ring so that both the type of film and its number  
of exposures appear in the windows. To check whether the camera  
is loaded, turn the film rewind knob clockwise. If it turns freely, the  
camera is not loaded.

SETTING ASA FILM SPEED  
The ASA film speed rating of all 35mm films is given in the data sheet packed  
with each roll of film. The higher the ASA number, the more sensitive the film  
is to light. Lift the outer ring of the shutter speed dial and rotate it until the ASA  
number of your film is opposite the orange dot alongside the figure 1. Be sure to  
set your film speed on the shutter speed dial because the dial is connected to the  
exposure meter.  
While viewing through the viewfinder, turn the focusing ring until your subject comes  
into sharp focus. Depending on the type of focusing screen you have, there are two ways  
of doing this.  
COMPOSE AND FOCUS  
A cross-microprism focusing system consists of a Fresnel lens, made up of many  
concentric rings, with a microprism center underneath the ground glass. With this system,  
when your subject is in focus, the image in the microprism center will be sharp. If your  
subject is not in focus, the microprism will break the image up into many small dots.  
4www.butkus.org  
A split-image focusing system consists of a Fresnel lens with a horizontally divided  
screen under the ground glass. With this system, when your camera is held horizontally  
and the image is not in sharp focus, all vertical lines seen through the viewfinder will  
appear to be divided into upper and lower portions. To focus, simply adjust the focusing  
ring until the upper and lower portions are in perfect alignment.  
SHUTTER  
Turn the shutter speed dial clockwise or counter-clockwise to  
the shutter speed desired. The shutter speed can be set either  
before or after cocking the rapid-wind lever. As you cock the  
shutter by turning the rapid-wind lever, the "cocked" indicator  
turns to red showing that the shutter is cocked. For use of the  
X setting (next to the 60) on the shutter speed dial, refer to  
page 19. With the shutter speed dial set on B (bulb), the  
shutter will stay open as long as you keep the shutter button  
depressed. As you release your finger from the shutter button,  
the shutter closes. For particularly long exposures ("time  
exposure"). use a cable release with a locking device.

tightly to your  
forehead with  
your left hand,  
raise you right  
arm and draw  
your left arm to  
you body  
Horizontal Position  
Hold teh camera firmly  
with your left hand, and  
draw your arms close to  
your body.  
Vertical Position  
Hold your camera tightly to your forehead with your left hand, and  
draw your right arm close to your body.  
CAMERA HOLDING  
As a general rule, your camera should be held more firmly in the left hand, which  
does not release the shutter. If you hold your camera with the right hand - the  
hand that releases the shutter it may cause camera movement. Often, blurred  
pictures are due to camera movement.  
FILM UNLOADING  
After the final picture on the roll has been taken, the  
rapid wind lever will not turn, indicating that the  
film must be rewound. Lift the rewind crank up.  
Depress the film rewind release button and turn the  
rewind crank as indicated to rewind the film into its  
cassette. Rewind until the tension on the crank  
lessens, indicating that the leader end of the film has  
been released from the take-up spool. Pull out the  
film rewind knob (the back will open automatically),  
and remove the film cassette.  
AVOID DIRECT LIGHT WHEN UNLOADING THE  
FILM.  
SELF-TIMER  
The self-timer delays shutter release between 5 and 13 seconds,  
depending upon how far counter-clockwise you have turned the  
cocking lever. When using the self-timer, do not depress the  
shutter release button...it will immediately release the  
shutter without delayed action. Turn the cocking lever down  
90°--i80°. Move the small light-colored self-timer start lever as  
indicated . . . the self-timer will start. This self-timer also has an  
interrupt function. Even after the self-timer has started to run,  
you can stop it by moving the start lever back to normal  
position, as long as the cocking lever has not been moved back  
past the 90° position. You can re-start the self-timer by pushing  
the cocking lever down again and moving the start lever again.  
Do not leave the cocking lever in "interrupt" position for an  
extended period, as this may weaken the spring.

FLASH SYNCHRONIZATION  
The KM has FP and X terminals on the front of the camera  
body, and  
a separate X contact on the built-in hot shoe. The table on  
the next page  
shows which flash contact, which shutter speed and which  
flash bulb may  
be combined for maximum lamp efficiency. Unless these  
combinations are  
rigidly followed, there will be a failure in flash  
synchronization. Note the "X" setting is exactly at the 60  
marked on the speed dial. This indicates the  
highest shutter speed at which electronic flash units may  
be used. Use the hot shoe flash contact when using a shoe-  
mount electronic flash like the Pentax Autorobo which has  
a flash contact on the shoe bracket. When using the hot  
shoe, there is no need to plug the flash cord into the X  
terminal on the body front. The hot shoe flash contact  
turns to "hot" (switched on) only when you insert a shoe-  
mount electronic flash. It remains "cold" (disconnected)  
even when using an electronic flash with its cord plugged  
into the X terminal on the body front. This eliminates the  
danger of electric shocks.  
There are basically two types of flash bulb attachments on  
the market: clip-on types and bracket types. Either can be  
used with your camera. The clip-on types are attached to  
the hot shoe and the bracket types are screwed into the  
tripod screw hole. Use one of these three bulb types: M,  
MF or FP. The correct terminal and the correct shutter  
speed to use for each of these three types are outlined in  
the table below. Before attaching the flash unit to the  
camera, you must remove the protective plug from the  
proper terminal. When not using the terminals, keep the  
plugs inserted.

DEPTH FIELD PREVIEW BUTTON AND GUIDE  
Depth of field is the range between the nearest and farthest distances which are in  
focus at a given lens aperture. If you want to know how great the depth of field is  
at a certain aperture, focus on a subject and see through the viewfinder while  
depressing the depth-of-field preview button (A) . Or, after focusing, look at the  
depth-of-field preview button (A) Or after focusing look at teh depth-of-field  
guide on the lens. In the photograph below, the distance scale is set at 5 meters . .  
. the lens is focused on a subject 5 meters away the calibrations on each side of  
the distance index correspond to the diaphragm setting and indicate the range of  
in-focus distance for different lens apertures. For example, if a lens opening of  
f/4 is to be used, the range on the distance scale ring covered within the figure 4  
on the depth-of-field guide indicates the area in focus at that lens opening. You  
will note from the depth-of-field guide in the photograph that the range from  
approximately 4.5 to 6.5 m is in focus. Note that as the lens apertures change, the  
effective depth of field also changes. For the depths of field at different apertures  
and distances, refer to the next page.

HELPFUL HINTS ON EXPOSURE PROBLEMS  
The light meter built into your KM correctly reads the average of the light reflected from the entire scene as seen  
through the viewfinder --with a little extra importance, or weight, given to what is in the center. Sometimes, however,  
there is a great difference between the light reflected from the background and the light reflected from the subject. In  
such a case, to achieve a really good photo, you must compensate for the difference by opening or closing down the  
aperture 1 or 2 steps.  
As a general rule, when the subject is darker than the background, you compensate by opening your aperture 1 or 2  
steps further.  
For example: on a bright day, when your subject has his back to the sun and you are shooting directly toward the sun  
. . . or when you are shooting a subject against snow or light-colored sand . . . or when you are copying a page of  
black letters on white paper, increase the size of the aperture somewhat.  
When your subject is brighter than the background -- if he is standing in a spotlight, for example -- you make the  
aperture 1 or 2 steps smaller to compensate.  
MANUAL SHUTTER OPERATION  
The silver oxide battery in your KM is used only for  
powering the exposure meter; the shutter mechanism is a  
totally manual operation. Therefore, your camera can still  
be operated even if the battery has worn out. (A good sign  
of a worn-out battery is that the black meter needle does  
not move when you remove the lens cap.)  
If the battery has worn out and the exposure meter is no  
longer functioning, you must determine the correct  
combination of shutter speed and aperture size yourself,  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
from your own experience. Also, packed in with most  
types of 35mm film is a data sheet of suggestions for  
determining the correct exposure in a variety of situations.  
INFRA-RED PHOTOGRAPHY  
If you intend to take infra-red photographs, remember to use the infra-red index marked with an orange line on the  
depth-of-field guide. First, bring your subject into clear focus. Then determine the lens-to-subject distance from the  
distance scale on the lens. Then match your lens-to-subject distance to the infrared index by turning the distance scale  
accordingly. For instance, if your subject is in focus at infinity, turn the distance ring and move the infinity (00) mark  
to the index.  
4www.butkus.org  
MULTIPLE EXPOSURE  
For deliberate multiple exposures,  
make the first exposure in the  
normal way. Then tighten the film  
by turning the rewind knob (A),  
and keep hold of the rewind knob.  
Depress the film rewind release  
button (B) and cock the rapid-wind  
lever.  
This cocks the shutter without advancing the film. Finally, release the shutter to  
make the second exposure. Then make one blank exposure, before taking the next  
picture, to avoid overlapping. Exposure counter registration may not be exact.

RANGE OF LIGHT MEASUREMENT  
The exposure meter of the KM measures the brightness of  
the ground glass. Therefore, the meter needle should be  
centered after you have focused your subject on the ground  
glass. The area (A) in the table indicates the reading range of  
the meter, and should not be interpreted as the cameras total  
range of f/stop-shutter speed combinations. As you will note  
from the table, with an ASA 100 film, you may use any  
shutter speed from 1/4 sec. to 1/1000 sec. in combination  
with any aperture that will bring the meter needle to the  
midpoint in the viewfinder.  
The total range of the aperture settings is, of course,  
determined by the minimum and maximum apertures of the  
lens being used. For example, with the 50mm  
f/1 .4 lens and ASA 100 film, any aperture from ff1.4 (the  
maximum aperture of this lens) to ff16 may be used with any  
shutter speed from 1/4 sec. to 1/1000 sec. that will bring the  
meter needle to midpoint. However, the combination of ff22  
(minimum aperture) and 1/1000 sec. is beyond the  
measurability range (B), as shown in the table. As the ASA  
film speed changes, the measurability range varies.  
OPEN-APERTURE OR STOP-DOWN METERING  
Open-aperture SMC Pentax lenses have a diaphragm  
coupling lever 0 on the back of the lens which locks into the  
camera body to permit open-aperture metering. The super  
telephotos do not have a diaphragm coupler, so they must be  
used with the stop-down metering system. Use of the Auto-  
Extension Tube Set K permits open-aperture metering. It can  
also be set to stop down the diaphragm automatically. Use of  
other K Series accessories -- standard Extension Tube Set K,  
Helicoid Extension Tube K, AutoBellows K and Bellows  
Unit K -- requires stop-down metering. Whenever any one of  
these is used between the camera body and an SMC Pentax  
lens, the stop-down metering system must be used.

USING CONVENTIONAL SCREW-MOUNT TAKUMAR  
LENSES  
Conventional screw-mount Taku mar lenses (both Super-Takumar  
and SMC Takumar) can be easily mounted onto your camera by  
attaching them first to a Mount Adaptor K. Use of the Mount  
Adaptor K does not affect any aspect of normal lens function  
except as regards the following two points:  
1. Due to the difference in coupling systems, the automatic  
diaphragm will not function.  
2. Full-aperture metering lenses will function as stop-down  
metering lenses.  
P.S. This can also be used with the Pentax Digital cameras to use  
thread mount lenses. Change the camera to manual mode and  
press the exposure lock button to obtain an exposure reading. You  
need to press the exposure lock button each time you fire. This  
checks the exposure should it change even slightly.

HOW TO USE MOUNT ADAPTOR K  
1. Screw the conventional Takumar lens into the  
Mount Adaptor K.  
2. Attach the Adaptor/lens unit to the camera  
body by aligning the red dots (A) and (B) and  
turning the lens clockwise until it locks with a  
click. (This takes slightly less than a quarter of a  
revolution.)  
3. To remove only the lens, leaving the Mount  
Adaptor K attached to the camera body, simply  
unscrew the lens counter-clockwise. Other screw-  
mount Takumar lenses can then be attached in the  
normal way.  
1. To remove the Mount Adaptor K from the  
camera body, first remove the screw-mount lens.  
Then press, with your thumbnail or a pointed  
object such as a ballpoint pen, against the spring  
pin (C).  
2. Turn the Mount Adaptor K counter-clockwise  
until you fell it release, and take it out.  
3. Since the mechanism for locking in the Mount  
Adaptor K is totally different from that which  
locks in an SMC Pentax bayonet-mount lens, the  
lock lever (D) on the camera body plays no part at  
all.  
RESISTANCE TO TEMPERATURE EXTREMES AND CHANGES  
Sudden changes in temperature will often cause moisture to  
4www.butkus.org  
condense inside or outside your camera. This is a possible  
source of rust, which may be extremely damaging to the  
mechanism. Furthermore, if the camera goes from a warm  
temperature to a sub-freezing one, and if tiny drops of  
moisture freeze, further damage may be done by their  
expansion.  
The temperature range at which your camera will  
continue to function properly stretches from 50°C to -  
20°C. However, resistance to cold could be hampered  
by oil which has become dirty. Therefore, if the  
camera is to operate at full efficiency in very cold  
conditions, it must be overhauled and all oil must be  
replaced.  
Thus, sudden temperature changes should be avoided as much  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
as possible. As a guide, a temperature change of 10°C should  
be allowed to take place gradually over a period of at least 30  
minutes. If this is not possible, keeping the camera in its case  
or bag will help somewhat in minimizing the effects of a rapid  
temperature change.  
Extremely low temperature reduces the efficiency of the  
battery. Therefore, the camera should be protected against low  
temperature. Put the batteries into the camera right before  
shooting. For extremely low temperature, use new batteries.  
CAMERA MAINTENANCE  
1. Always keep the viewfinder eyepiece, lens and filter as clean as  
possible. To remove loose dust and dirt, first use the blower and then the  
brush of a lens brush. Do not try to wipe off granular dirt or dust -- its an  
excellent way of scratching the glass.  
Smudges, such as fingerprints, should be carefully wiped away with either  
a lens tissue or a clean, soft cloth. Clean, plain cotton handkerchiefs that  
have already been washed a few times are particularly good for this.  
Breathing on the lens before wiping is effective; but be sure to wipe away  
all moisture completely. Commercial lens cleaners are also effective.  
2. Never touch the mirror or the shutter curtain with your hands. (The  
natural acids on your skin are very damaging.) Minor dirt or spots on the  
mirror will not affect the clarity of your pictures.  
3. Take care not to drop the camera or knock it against anything solid.  
Accidents or rough handling can easily damage the internal mechanism,  
even though extremely nothing seems to have been hurt.  
4. Your camera is not waterproof. There are several places where  
water can get inside and do a great deal of damage. Take care to  
protect both body and lens from rain or splashing water. If your camera  
should get wet, dry it off immediately with a clean, soft cloth. Once a  
camera has become completely soaked, there is often nothing that can be  
done to make it right again. However, in such a case, take your camera as  
soon as possible to an authorized Asahi Pentax Service Center.  
5. Where to keep your camera while you are not using it is an important point. The best storage place is cool, dry,  
clean and well ventilated. Because of the possible build-up of humidity, it is risky to store your camera in a cabinet or  
closet. Its also a good idea to keep your camera in its bag or case while you are not using it.  
6. When mounting your camera on a tripod, be sure the tripod screw is no longer than 5.5mm. This is the depth of the  
tripod screw hole on your camera. If you use a longer screw, you will probably puncture the bottom of the hole, after  
which the camera will not function properly.
