• 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.
• 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

• Care should be taken when removing 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
saved to the card, images or sound files are being played back, or the camera

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 or the battery is 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 make a backup of
important data on a computer.
• 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

Recorded Pixels and Quality Level
Choose the number of pixels (size) and quality level (data compression
rate) of still pictures according to how you intend to use the pictures you
have taken.
1
Higher quality levels and numbers of pixels produce clearer images for
printing, but the resulting increase in data volume reduces the total
number of pictures that can be stored in the camera’s built-in memory or
on the SD Memory Card.
The quality of the captured photo or printed picture depends on the
quality level, exposure control, resolution of the printer and a variety of
other factors, so you do not need to select more than the required
number of pixels. 1024×768 is sufficient for printing postcard-size prints.
Refer to the table below for the appropriate settings according to use.

are taken in the vertical position unless you adjust the camera after
attaching it to the tripod.
To take pictures in the horizontal position, adjust the position of the
platform so that the camera is horizontal.
Make sure the tripod is steady and does not overbalance due to the
weight of the camera. You are recommended to use a sturdy tripod.
• The way the camera is fixed to the tripod varies depending on the
type of tripod. For more information, refer to the operating manual
for your tripod.
• Camera may be unstable depending on the tripod used. If the
camera is unstable, use a tripod stabilizer (sold separately) and
place it between the camera and platform. Do not use if the height
of the tripod screw is low or the fit in the tripod socket is not secure.

horizontal axis (darkest at the left and brightest at the right) and the
number of pixels on the vertical axis.
The shape of the histogram tells you whether the exposure of the image
is correct or not. 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.
Bright portions (where the image is so bright that it is totally white) blink
red on the LCD monitor and dark portions (where the image is so dark
that it is totally black) blink yellow.

Printing Using PictBridge
This function lets you print images directly from the camera without using
a PC. Place the camera on the USB cradle and connect the USB cradle
to a printer that supports PictBridge using the USB cable (I-USB7)
supplied with the camera. Select the images you want to print and the
number of copies on the camera after it has been connected to the printer.
• You are recommended to connect the USB cradle to an AC power
outlet while the camera is connected to the printer. The printer
may not work properly or the image data may be lost if the battery
runs out of power while the camera is connected to the printer.
• Do not disconnect the USB cable during data transfer.
• Depending on the type of printer, not all the settings made on the
camera (such as print settings and DPOF settings) may be valid.
• A printing error may occur if the selected number of copies
exceeds 500.
• You cannot use the camera to select multiple images for printing
on a single sheet. Make the settings on the printer. For details,
refer to the operating manual for your printer.

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. 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.
