Caution
Warning:
•
•
Do not attempt to take the camera apart or remodel the camera. High voltages
are present within the camera, and there is therefore a danger of electric shocks.
If the inside of the camera should become exposed as a result of, for 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 / Multi Media
Card out of the reach of small children. Seek medical attention immediately if
accidentally swallowed.
•
•
•
•
Use an AC adapter that are 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.
If the camera emits smoke or a strange smell, or in the event of any other
irregularity, stop using the camera immediately, remove the battery or disconnect
the AC adapter and contact your nearest Pentax service center. Continued use of
the camera may result in fire or electric shock.
•
Discontinue use of the AC adapter during thunderstorms. This can cause a fire or
electrical shock.
Caution:
•
•
•
Never try to disassemble, short the battery. Also, do not dispose of the battery in
fire, as it may explode.
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, so please take care, as there
is a risk of low temperature burns if such portions are held for long periods of
time.
•
•
•
Do not place your finger on the flash when it is discharging as there is a risk of
burns.
If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with your eyes, do not rub
them. Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical attention immediately.
If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with skin or clothes, wash
the affected areas thoroughly with water.

Care to be Taken During Handling
•
•
•
Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner or alcohol
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. Should
the camera get wet from rain, splashing water, or any other liquid, wipe it off
immediately with a dry soft cloth.
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 liquid crystal display will become black at temperatures of approximately
60°C (140°F) 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.
Remove dust from the lens and viewfinder using a blower or clean off dust using
a lens brush.
Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain high-
performance.
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 travelling). Pentax is not responsible for consequential
damages (costs incurred as a result of taking pictures, loss of benefits that were
to be obtained through taking pictures) arising from failure of this product.
If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may form
on the inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in a bag or
plastic bag, and take the camera out when the difference in temperature has
subsided.
•
•
•
•
•
•
The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to
104°F).
Avoid contact with garbage, dirt, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, salt, etc. as this
may cause damage to the camera. If rain or drops of water get onto the camera,
please wipe dry.
•
•
Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card/MultiMediaCard” (p.17)
regarding the SD Memory Card/MultiMediaCard.
Be sure to use the rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI7 provided for this
camera. If you use any other battery the camera may be damaged or
malfunction.

To users of this camera
• There is a possibility that recorded data may be erased or that the camera
may not function correctly when used in surroundings such as installations
generating strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields.
• The liquid crystal panel used in the LCD 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.
• There is a possibility that the illustrations and the display screen of the LCD
monitor in this manual are different from the actual product.

memo
A clear three-dimensional effect will not be achieved if the two images
are taken in widely different positions (heights) or are not straight. When
taking a person, you are recommended to ask your model to stay as
still as possible and to take the second picture as quickly as you can. It
is easier to take the pictures if you use a tripod or appropriate base.
As a guide, the camera should be moved about 1/40 of the distance
between the camera and the subject. For example, if the subject is
3m away, the distance the camera should be moved will be
3m÷40=7.5cm.
•
However, as the way people see three-dimensional images differs
from person to person, there is no need to be too concerned. Refer
to the table below for a simple guide to how far to move the camera.

bViewing 3D pictures by the parallel method and cross method
As our eyes are positioned about 6 – 7 cm apart, there is a very slight
deviation between what we see with our right eye and what we see
with our left eye. The difference is processed by our brain to produce a
three-dimensional image. This principle is applied to taking and
viewing 3D pictures.
3D pictures can be viewed by the parallel method where the left and
right lines of vision are virtually parallel, as when looking at a distant
scene, or the cross method where the left and right lines of vision are
crossed, as when you cross your eyes. A certain amount of practice
may be necessary to view 3D pictures without using the viewer.
bHow to Assemble the 3D Image Viewer
Assemble the 3D image viewer supplied with the camera as shown
below.
66

bHow to view 3D pictures using the 3D image viewer
Print out the pictures so that they are about 11cm or 12cm wide and
place the divider of the 3D image viewer in the middle of the two.
As the distance between the left and right eyes differs from person to
person, some people may have difficulty obtaining a three-dimensional
memo
effect even when looking at prints that are the same size. It may be
especially difficult if the pictures are very large or very small. Try
different sizes until the right effect is achieved.
•
•
Never look at the sun through the 3D image viewer.
Do not leave the 3D image viewer where it is exposed to direct
sunlight as this may lead to fire.

Taking Pictures with Digital Filters (Digital Filter Mode)
You can take pictures using digital filters. The filters consist of color
filters such as red, blue and green, a soft filter that produces a fuzzy
effect.
b Color filters
Eight colors, black-and-white, sepia, red, pink, violet, blue, green and
yellow, are provided for the color filters. When you select a color filter
in the Digital Filter mode, the display on the LCD monitor is filtered
with the selected color, and the pictures are taken in that color.

Pictures taken with the soft filter have a fuzzy effect.

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 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.

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

warranty policy.
