Care to be Taken During Handling  
• Take the Worldwide Service Network listing 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.  
• Fingerprints and smudges may be removed from the display screen of  
the LCD monitor by wiping them gently with a soft, dry cloth.  
• 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 as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss  
in waterproof performance. Place the camera on a cushion for  
protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of a  
motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the camera is subjected to substantial  
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 liquid crystal display will become black at a high temperature but  
will return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.  
10  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
• 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.  
• 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.  
• 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” (p.19)  
regarding the SD Memory Card.  
• Please note that formatting an SD memory card or built-in memory will  
delete all data, however it may still be possible to recover that data  
using off-the-shelf data recovery software. Please manage your  
camera’s memory at your own risk.  
• Please do not press forcefully on the LCD monitor. 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 LCD monitor.  
• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the  
screw in the tripod socket on the camera.  
• The AC plug cord supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with the  
battery charger D-BC8. Do not use it with any other equipment.

Selecting a Shooting Mode  
Taking Pictures in Dimly Lit Locations  
When taking pictures under low light conditions, such as during twilight or  
at night, the camera shutter must be opened longer to allow more light in.  
This camera comes with a special mode A (Night Scene) for taking  
pictures when light levels are low. In Night Scene mode, the camera  
decreases the shutter speed for optimal exposure to capture beautiful  
pictures at night. You can also use this mode to take portraits with night  
scenes in the background as the camera will automatically select a long  
shutter speed even when using the flash.  
3
Memo  
• When pictures are taken in dimly lit locations, the shutter must stay open  
longer which contributes to camera shake. When using a shutter speed at  
which camera shake is likely to occur, f (camera shake warning) appears  
on the LCD monitor. To prevent camera shake, use a tripod and the self-  
timer or remote control function.  
• You can also increase the ISO sensitivity setting to take pictures in dimly lit  
locations without using the flash. When the sensitivity is increased, the  
shutter speed also increases, making it easier to prevent camera shake and  
blurring of the subject. However, noise, which appears as a grainy pattern,  
may appear in the picture (p.67).  
Taking Pictures of Your Pet  
In Pet mode (E), choose the appropriate icon  
depending on whether your pet is dark, light, or  
in between. The exposure will automatically be  
adjusted to produce the best picture. Choosing  
either the cat or dog icon does not affect the  
resulting picture. Choose whichever you prefer.

Using the Zoom  
When the zoom is set to a wide angle, more of the scene is included.  
When the zoom is set to telephoto, distant objects appear closer. Wide  
angle settings make near-to-far objects look further apart than they really  
are while telephoto settings make them look closer together.

Adjusting the Size, Quality Level, Brightness, and Color Tone  
Adjusting the Size, Quality Level, Brightness,  
and Color Tone  
The camera will automatically adjust settings such as brightness and  
color tone to capture pictures and movies as optimally as possible. If,  
however, you want to use creative effects, you will need to customize the  
shooting functions. This section explains the various built-in functions that  
can help you to capture better pictures and movies.  
Size and Quality Level  
Set the size and quality level according to how you intend to use the  
pictures or movies (p.49).  
3
Brightness  
The brightness (exposure) of a picture is determined by the amount of light  
entering the camera lens (aperture) and the length of time the light is allowed  
to enter (shutter speed). If the brightness of a picture is not at the desired level,  
one solution is to adjust the setting using the EV compensation function (p.53).  
The AE metering function is also helpful in allowing you to select the  
metering method to measure proper brightness under different shooting  
situations (p.55).  
When you take a picture in a dimly lit location, using the flash to illuminate  
the subject is a basic technique (p.56). But if you want a more natural  
feeling and do not want to use the flash, customizing the ISO sensitivity  
(p.67) can help produce a properly exposed image.  
Color Balance (White Balance)  
Use the white balance setting if the color balance of the image is not  
pleasing, or if you want to give the picture a bluish or reddish look (p.58).  
Sharpness, Saturation, and Contrast  
Sharpness, saturation and contrast settings are available in three levels  
(p.60) for sharpening or softening the outlines of an image, enhancing its  
vividness, and adjusting the image contrast.  
48

Adjusting the Size, Quality Level, Brightness, and Color Tone  
Setting the Recorded Pixels, Quality Level, and Frame Rate  
You can set the number of recorded pixels (width × height) and quality  
level (data compression rate) for pictures and movies, and the frame rate  
(number of frames per second) for movies, according to how you intend  
to use the pictures or movies.  
The larger the number of recorded pixels and quality level (indicated by  
the number of stars (E)), the clearer the details will appear when you print  
your picture or play back a movie. Similarly, the larger the frame rate, the  
smoother the movement will appear in movies. However, these increase  
the file size of pictures or movies, thereby reducing the number of pictures  
that can be stored in memory or the recording time for movies.  
Set the [Recorded Pixels], [Quality Level], and [Frame Rate] settings  
according to how you intend to use your pictures and movies.

Using the Histogram  
This camera has a function for displaying a graph (histogram) that shows  
the tonal range of your scene with the darkest areas on the left and the  
brightest ones to the right. The height of the points along the graph show  
the number of pixels at each brightness value.  
The shape of the histogram, which can be viewed before and after  
shooting, shows the brightness and contrast of the picture so you can  
decide if you want to use EV compensation to improve it.  
1 “Displaying Shooting Information in Capture Mode” (p.40), “Displaying  
Shooting Information” (p.77)

Understanding Brightness  
Usually, if the exposure 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  
Correct image  
Bright 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).  
With EV compensation, you can adjust the exposure so that the  
distribution is contained within the graph without the graph peaking on the  
left or right side, thereby preventing pictures that are too dark or too light.  
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.

the picture and determines the correct exposure. The camera  
can obtain a relatively correct exposure even for complex  
subjects with both dark and light areas.  
L
The camera takes a uniform reading of the overall brightness of  
the picture with the metering focused at the center of the image.

Memo  
• The approximate range of the flash is 0.15 m to 4.5 m when not using the  
3× optical zoom (wide-angle setting) and 0.4 m to 2.5 m when using the 3×  
optical zoom (telephoto setting). If the subject is too far from the camera, it  
will not be illuminated by the flash. Additionally, if the subject is too close to  
the camera, exposure will not be correctly adjusted. Increase the sensitivity  
(p.67) to extend the effective range of the flash.  
• You can also increase the ISO sensitivity setting to take pictures in dimly lit  
locations without using the flash. When the sensitivity is increased, the  
shutter speed also increases, making it easier to prevent camera shake and  
blurring of the subject. However, you may notice increased noise, which  
looks like a grainy pattern, in the picture (p.67).

Adjusting the Size, Quality Level, Brightness, and Color Tone  
• The flash mode is fixed at a (Flash Off) when the shooting mode is set to  
C (Movie), the drive mode is set to 1 (Cont. Shooting), or the focus mode  
is set to s (Infinity).  
• Taking pictures using the flash in dark locations 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. Setting the flash  
mode to c (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) is an effective way  
of preventing red eyes. It can be also reduced by illuminating the area  
around the subject or moving closer to the subject and zooming out. If the  
subject’s eyes still appear red despite such precautions, they can be  
corrected by the red-eye compensation function later (p.106).  
• Pre-flashes discharge when the flash mode is set to c (Auto + Red-eye) or  
d (Flash On + Red-eye).

Focusing  
Focusing  
The camera automatically focuses on your subject when you press the  
shutter release button halfway. If, however, you want to quickly focus on  
a specific point, you will need to select one of the camera’s focus modes.  
This section explains the various focusing settings.  
Choosing the Focusing Range  
By default, the camera automatically focuses on subjects within a range  
of approximately 40 cm to infinity. By setting the [Focus Limiter] (p.66) to  
Off, you can focus on subjects within a range of approximately 15 cm to  
infinity.  
3
Set the focus mode when you want to quickly focus on close or distant  
objects, when you want to keep everything on the screen in focus, or  
when you want to focus manually (p.63).  
Choosing the Focusing Area  
By default, the camera focuses on the closest object in the middle of the  
focus frame. Select another focusing option if you want the camera to  
focus on a different point (p.65).  
Subjects Difficult to Focus On  
The camera may not be able to focus under the following conditions. In  
this case, lock the focus on an object the same distance away as the  
subject (by pressing the shutter release button halfway), then aim the  
camera at your subject and press the shutter release button fully.  
• Objects that lack contrast such as a blue sky or white wall  
• Dark places or objects, or conditions that prevent light being reflected  
back  
• Horizontal lines or intricate patterns  
• Fast moving objects  
• When there is an object in the foreground and an object in the  
background in the same picture  
• Strongly reflected light or strong backlighting (bright background)

Focusing  
Focusing in Dimly Lit Locations  
By default, the camera is set to use the auxiliary AF light for easier  
focusing in dimly lit locations (p.66).  
Preventing Camera Shake and Blurring of the Subject  
There are several solutions to prevent inadvertent camera movement  
(camera shake) and blurring of the subject. Increasing the ISO sensitivity  
(p.67) or using the flash (p.56) is one solution as the camera then takes  
pictures at higher shutter speeds. Higher shutter speeds are effective for  
preventing both camera shake and blurring of the subject.  
You can check if camera shake is likely to occur when f (camera  
shake warning) appears on the LCD monitor. Using a tripod and the self-  
timer (p.69) or remote control function (p.70) is recommended especially  
when camera shake is likely to occur.

Changing the Depth of Field  
By zooming in on your subject from a close distance, you can narrow the  
depth of field and create a blurred background (p.45).

Formatting an SD Memory Card and the Built-in Memory  
Formatting an SD Memory Card and the  
Built-in Memory  
Formatting will delete all the data in the built-in memory or on the SD  
Memory Card.  
If an SD Memory Card is in the camera, all its data will be deleted. If no  
SD Memory Card has been inserted in the camera, all the data in the built-  
in memory will be deleted.  
Caution  
•
Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage the  
card and render it unusable.  
•
A write-protected SD Memory Card cannot be formatted (p.19).  
• Formatting will delete ALL data including protected images, sound files, and  
any other data recorded on the card.  
• SD Memory Cards formatted on a PC or device other than this camera  
cannot be used. Be sure to format the card with this camera.  
• If you are going to discard, give away or sell your SD memory card you  
should ensure that the data on the card is completely deleted or the card  
itself is destroyed if it contains any personal or sensitive information. Please  
note that formatting the SD card will not necessarily delete the data so that  
it cannot be recovered using off the shelf data recovery software. There are  
off the shelf secure data deletion software programs available that will  
completely delete the data. In any case the data on your SD memory card  
should be managed at your own risk.

proper treatment, recovery and recycling of these products.  
Following the implementation by member states, private

electrical/electronic equipments to designated collection  
facilities free of charge*. In some countries your local retailer  
may also take back your old product free of charge if you  
purchase a similar new one.  
* Please contact your local authority for further details.  
By disposing of this product correctly you will help ensure  
that the waste undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery

WARRANTY POLICY  
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.
