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.

not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or in your eyes or in your
mouth.
Handling precautions for batteries
• This camera uses two AA alkaline, AA lithium, AA Ni-MH, AA nickel
manganese batteries or one CR-V3 battery. Do not use batteries other
than those specified here. Using some other type of battery may cause the
camera to function poorly, or the batteries may rupture or cause a fire.

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 traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be
guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer,
etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media
(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 temperatures 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.

3
Insert the batteries according to the (+) and (–)
indicators on the battery chamber.
Close the battery cover and slide it back into place to lock it.
If you intend to use the camera continuously for a long period, use of the AC
adapter D-AC5 (optional) is recommended. (p.18)
• AA alkaline, AA lithium, AA nickel manganese and CR-V3 batteries are not
rechargeable.
• Do not open the battery cover or remove the batteries when the camera is
turned on.
• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries,
otherwise the batteries may leak.
• The “Battery depleted” error message may appear when you turn on the power
after purchasing the camera or after replacing the batteries if the batteries had
been removed for a long time. However, this is not an error. Wait a short period
and then turn the power switch on again, the power should come on normally.
If this happens, the date and time, recorded pixels and other settings may be
initialized, reset the various settings according to the procedures in “Setting the
Shooting Functions” (p.68 to 83) and “Camera Settings” (p.118 to 131).

Data Backup
Very occasionally, malfunction of the camera may cause data stored in the built-in
memory to become unreadable. As a backup measure, we recommend that you
download important data to a PC or store the data in a media other than the built-in
memory.

Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before opening or closing the 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
Y appears on the LCD monitor
when the card is write-protected.
• 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 voice memos 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.
• 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 batteries
are 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 regularly 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.
• For information on compatible memory cards, visit the PENTAX website or
contact your nearest PENTAX customer service center.

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
otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the liability of the manufacturer or its

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
