Caution  
minor or medium personal injury, or material loss.  
Warning  
• Do not disassemble or modify the camera. High voltage areas are present inside  
the camera, with the risk of electric shock.  
• If the camera interior is exposed due to dropping or otherwise damaging the  
camera, never touch the exposed portion. There is the risk of electric shock.  
• Wrapping the strap around your neck is dangerous. Take care that small children  
do not hang the strap over 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 accidentally  
swallowed.  
• Always use the AC adapter specified exclusively for this product, with the specified  
power and voltage. Using an AC adapter not exclusive to this product, or using the  
exclusive AC adapter with an unspecified power or voltage can cause a fire, electric  
shock, or camera breakdown.  
• If any irregularities occur during use, such as smoke or a strange odor, stop use  
immediately, remove the batteries or the AC adapter, and contact your nearest  
PENTAX service center. Continued use could cause a fire or electric shock.  
• During thunderstorms, unplug and discontinue use of the AC adapter. Continued  
use could cause equipment failure, a fire, or electric shock.  
Caution  
• Do not short the battery or dispose of the battery in fire. Do not disassemble the  
battery. The battery could explode or catch fire.  
• Do not charge any batteries other than rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. The battery  
could explode or catch fire. Of the batteries that can be used in this camera, only  
the Ni-MH battery can be recharged.  
• Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or begins to  
smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.  
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use. There is the risk of low  
temperature burns when holding such portions for long periods.  
• Do not place your finger on the flash when it is discharging as there is a risk of  
burns.  
• Do not discharge the flash when it is in direct contact with clothing or other objects.  
Firing the flash may result in discoloration of such objects.

Handling the Camera  
• When traveling abroad, be sure to take you international warranty card with you.  
You may also wish to take along the document Worldwide Service Network  
included with the product. This document is useful for making inquiries from your  
travel destination.  
• Always confirm that the camera is working properly when the camera has not been  
used for a long time, or before important occasions (weddings, trips, etc.). PENTAX  
is not responsible for consequential damages (costs incurred for photography, lost  
profits, etc.) arising from failure of this product.  
• 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.  
• Do not subject to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the camera in a  
vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.  
• Do not store the camera with preservatives and chemicals. Storage in high  
temperatures and high humidity can cause molding. Remove from case and store  
in a dry and well-ventilated location.  
• 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.  
• The temperature range for camera use is 0°C to 40°C.  
• The LCD display may appear black under high temperatures, but will return to  
normal as temperatures normalize.  
• The LCD display may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due to  
liquid crystal properties, and is not a fault.  
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain high  
performance.  
• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and outside of  
the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, retrieving the camera  
after decreasing the temperature difference.  
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts. These  
could cause a camera breakdown. Wipe dry any rain or water drops on the camera.  
• See “Precautions when using an SD Memory Card” (p.19) for details on the SD  
Memory Card.  
• Please do not press forcefully on the LCD monitor. This could cause breakage or  
malfunction.

Water-resistant Feature  
• This camera conforms to the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) Class 5 water  
resistant, (Direct jetting water under defined conditions shall have no harmful effect)  
and Class 7 water resistant, (Water shall not enter the enclosure when it is  
immersed in water up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter).  
• This camera cannot be used underwater.  
• Immediately after using the camera, be sure to carefully wipe off any water or dirt  
with a soft, dry cloth.  
• Do not place the camera directly on the sand at a beach or other location. Exposure  
to large amounts of sand or dirt may damage the camera.  
• The inside of the camera is not water resistant. Before using the camera, be sure  
the terminal cover and battery/card cover are securely closed.  
When replacing the battery or inserting or removing the memory card, carefully  
wipe off any water or dirt and open the cover in a location where the camera is not  
exposed to water or dirt. If water, sand, or dirt gets inside the camera, the camera  
may become damaged.  
• If the camera becomes exposed to large amounts of dirt or salt water, make sure  
that the power is off and the terminal cover and battery/card cover are securely  
closed, and then carefully rinse off the camera under slowly running tap water or in  
a shallow basin filled with fresh water for two to three minutes.  
• This camera should not be immersed in water for periods longer than thirty minutes  
at a time or exposed to extreme water pressure.  
• Do not clean the camera with soapy water, mild detergent, or alcohol as this may  
reduce the effectiveness of the camera’s water-resistant feature. Be careful not to  
expose the camera to coffee or other beverages, as this may also reduce the  
effectiveness of the camera’s water-resistant feature.  
• Before using the camera, be sure to wipe off any sand or debris from the water-  
resistant packing and the areas between the camera and the packing. Any  
scratches or damage to the packing or the areas between the camera and the  
packing or any peeling of the packing may reduce the effectiveness of the camera’s  
water-resistant feature. If this should occur, please call the Pentax Customer  
Service Department.  
• The accessories of SD card, battery, USB cable and AV cable are not water  
resistant.

• These figures are based on PENTAX measuring conditions. They may vary by  
Capture mode or shooting conditions.  
• Battery performance temporarily decreases as the temperature  
decreases. When using the camera in cold climates, have extra  
batteries on hand, keeping them warm in your pocket. Battery  
performance will return to normal when returned to room temperature.  
• Owing to the characteristics of AA alkaline batteries, the camera may  
not deliver optimal performance at low temperatures when powered by  
alkaline batteries. We recommend the use of other batteries such as  
CR-V3 batteries when using the camera in conditions of low ambient  
temperature.  
• When traveling overseas, taking pictures in cold climates, or when you  
will be taking a lot of pictures, please have extra batteries ready.  
• You can extend battery life by switching off the LCD monitor and  
shooting using the viewfinder.

Recorded Pixels and Image Quality  
Set recorded image size (the number of pixels) and quality to suit the  
intended purpose for the image. The higher the numbers for recorded  
image size and the more stars in the ratings for image quality, the clearer  
the image when printed. However, because image storage volume  
increases, the number of shots that can be captured decreases.  
Settings for pixel size and image quality are configured on the  
[Rec.Mode] menu.

Connecting the Camera Directly to a  
Printer to Print  
Using the USB Cable I-USB7 (included), you can connect the camera to  
a printer that supports the PictBridge standard in order to print images  
directly from the camera without using a personal computer. After  
connecting the camera and printer, you use the camera monitor to select  
which images to print and the number of prints. There are three printing  
methods: printing all images, printing individual images, and printing  
using printing service (DPOF) settings.  
We recommend using the AC Adapter D-AC5 (sold separately) when  
connecting the camera to a printer. Loss of battery power during data  
transmission to the printer can result in printer malfunction or corruption  
of image data.  
Some types of printer do not reflect all camera settings (such as image  
quality and DPOF settings).

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 nonauthorized 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 are no representatives  
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.  
• This warranty policy does not affect the customer’s statutory rights.  
• The local warranty policies available from PENTAX distributors in some  
countries can supersede this warranty policy. Therefore, we recommend  
that you review the warranty card supplied with your product at the time  
of purchase, or contact the PENTAX distributor in your country for more  
information and to receive a copy of the warranty policy.
