• 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  
is connected to a computer 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 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  
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.

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.

Make use of this feature to take pictures of yourself or to take pictures in  
a crowd by extending your arm.

Swiveling both the lens and LCD  
monitor toward yourself is useful  
for taking pictures of yourself or  
with a group.  
By swiveling the lens so it faces  
downwards and holding the  
camera at arm’s length, you can  
follow your subject in a crowd or at  
a sporting event.  
Taking Pictures With the Camera in the USB Cradle  
You can take pictures with the camera while it is still in the USB cradle.  
The USB cradle makes a stable base for positioning the camera on a  
table or shelf or other flat surface. It is useful for taking self-portraits or  
group photos without a tripod.  
The USB cradle is also used to connect the camera to your PC, TV or  
other AV equipment. By connecting the camera to your PC or TV using  
the USB cradle and USB cable, as well as transferring still pictures and  
other data from the camera to the PC, you can use the camera as a “PC  
camera” (USB camera) and post images captured by the camera lens  
directly on a website via the PC.

28  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
By connecting the camera to a video recorder, DVD recorder or other AV  
equipment, you can record images captured by the camera. (1p.110)  
You cannot take pictures while using an AC power supply. If you  
intend to use the camera for a long period of time as a “PC camera”,  
make sure that the battery is fully charged.  
1
Using a Tripod  
As the tripod socket is located on the side of the lens section, pictures  
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.

Using the Histogram  
A histogram is a graph showing the brightness of the image on the  
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.
