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 Memory
Card out of the reach of small children. Seek medical attention immediately
if a memory card is accidentally swallowed.
• Use an AC adapter that is 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.

shock.
• If water should happen to get inside the product, consult a PENTAX
Service Center. Continuing to use the product can cause a fire or electrical
shock.
About the Battery Charger and the AC Adapter
3
• If lightning should be present during use of the battery charger or AC
adapter, unplug the power cord and discontinue use. Continuing to use the
product can cause damage to the equipment, fire or electrical shock.
• Wipe off the plug of the power cord if it should become covered with dust.
This can cause a fire.
Caution
• Do not place heavy objects on the AC plug cord, allow heavy objects to
drop onto it or allow the AC plug cord to become damaged due to

PENTAX Service Center.
• Do not short or touch the output terminals of the product while it is still
plugged in.
• Remove the battery and unplug the AC plug cord when not using the
battery charger.
• Do not plug in the AC plug cord with wet hands. This can cause an
electrical shock.
• Do not subject the product to strong impacts or allow it to drop onto a hard
surface. This can cause a malfunction.
• To reduce the risk of hazards, use only CSA/UL Certified power supply
cord set, cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper,
one end with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified
NEMA configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female
connector body (with a specified IEC nonindustrial type configuration) or
the equivalent.
• Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other than the ones
specified. This can cause overheating or malfunctions.
4
• Take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the package
with you when traveling. 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 travelling). Contents of a recording such as images
and sounds cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or data transfer
from your camera to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction
of your camera or recording medium (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.
• 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 the camera from its 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. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the
camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, or ship, etc.
• 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 high temperature 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.
Care to be Taken During Handling
5
• 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.22) regarding
the SD Memory Card.
• Please note that the 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.

The battery charger supplied with the camera is designed to switch
automatically to the voltage (100-240V) and frequency (50Hz, 60Hz) of
the electricity supply in the country or region where used.
However, electrical socket shapes differ depending on the country or
region. Before traveling abroad, you are advised to check the socket
shape in your destination (see “Main Socket Types in the Major
Countries and Regions of the World” (p.18)) and take an appropriately
shaped off-the-shelf adapter plug with you. (Electrical socket shapes
may vary depending on every region in the country. Check the socket

Installing the SD Memory Card
An SD Memory Card can be used with this camera. Captured images are
recorded on the SD Memory Card if a card is inserted or in the built-in
memory if no card is inserted.
1 Open the battery/card cover.
Slide the battery/card cover in the direction indicated by the arrow
and flip the cover open .
2 Insert an SD Memory Card so the label (the side with the
2 symbol) is facing toward the LCD monitor and push
the card in until it clicks.
3 Close the battery/card cover.
To remove the card, eject the card by pressing it in the direction
indicated by the arrow and pull it out.
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or
removing the SD Memory Card.
• Be sure to format unused cards or cards that have been used on
another camera. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card or the
Built-in Memory” (p.158) for instructions on formatting.
The number of recordable images varies depending on the capacity
of the SD Memory Card or built-in memory and the selected image
size and quality. (1p.23)

Data Backup
Very occasionally, data stored in the built-in memory becomes unreadable. As a
backup measure, we recommend that you download important data to a PC or store
the data in a medium other than the built-in memory.
Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before opening the battery/card cover.
• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a write-protect switch.
Setting the switch to [LOCK] protects the existing data by
prohibiting recording of new data, deletion of existing data or
formatting of the card.
• Care should be taken if you remove 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 recorded on the card, images or sound are
being played back, or the camera is connected to a PC 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.
• Be sure to format unused cards or cards that have been used on another camera.
Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card or the Built-in Memory” (p.158) for
instructions on formatting.
• 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, the AC adapter is disconnected 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 regularly make a backup of
important data on a PC.
• 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.
• When you purchase the SD Memory Card, access the PENTAX website and
confirm beforehand if they have compatibility with your camera. Inquiries on the
card compatibility can also be answered by your nearest PENTAX service center.
• 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 Memory 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.

A histogram is a graph showing the
brightness of an image on the horizontal axis
and the number of pixels on the vertical axis
(distribution chart of the brightness). The
histogram will help you detect the brightness
of the image you have taken. For instance,
the graph peak tends to appear on the left
side for a darker image, and the graph peak
tends to appear on the right side for a brighter
image.
In general, when the exposure meter of your
image is well-balanced, the graph peaks
tend to appear in the middle.
On the contrary, when the exposure meter gets imbalanced tending dark and bright
without showing a neutral brightness, the peaks appear not in the middle but on
both sides.

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.
