FOR YOUR SAFETY
We have paid close attention to the safety of this product. When using
this product, we request your special attention regarding items marked
with the following symbols.
Warning
Caution
This symbol indicates that violating this item could
cause serious personal injury.
This symbol indicates that violating this item could
cause minor or medium personal injury, or material
loss.
Warning
• Do not disassemble or modify the camera. High voltage areas are present inside
the camera, with the risk of electric shock.
• If the camera interior is exposed due to dropping or otherwise damaging the
camera, never touch the exposed portion. There is the risk of electric shock.
• Wrapping the strap around your neck is dangerous. Take care that small children
do not hang the strap over their necks.
• To avoid the risk of it being swallowed by mistake, keep the SD Memory Card /
MultiMediaCard out of the reach of small children. Seek medical attention
immediately if accidentally swallowed.
• Always use the AC adapter specified exclusively for this product, with the specified
power and voltage. Using an AC adapter not exclusive to this product, or using the
exclusive AC adapter with an unspecified power or voltage can cause a fire, electric
shock, or camera breakdown.
• If any irregularities occur during use, such as smoke or a strange odor, stop use
immediately, remove the batteries or the AC adapter, and contact your nearest
PENTAX service center. Continued use could cause a fire or electric shock.
• During thunderstorms, unplug and discontinue use of the AC adapter. Continued
use could cause equipment failure, a fire, or electric shock.
Caution
• Do not short the battery or dispose of the battery in fire. Do not disassemble the
battery. The battery could explode or catch fire.
• Do not charge any batteries other than rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. The battery
could explode or catch fire. Of the batteries that can be used in this camera, only
the Ni-MH battery can be recharged.
• 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. There is the risk of low
temperature burns when holding such portions for long periods.
• Do not place your finger on the flash when it is discharging as there is a risk of
burns.

Handling the Camera
• Always confirm that the camera is working properly when the camera has not been
used for a long time, or before important occasions (weddings, trips, etc.). PENTAX
is not responsible for consequential damages (costs incurred for photography, lost
profits, etc.) arising from failure of this product.
• 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.
• Do not subject to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the camera in a
vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
• Do not store the camera with preservatives and chemicals. Storage in high
temperatures and high humidity can cause molding. Remove from case and store
in a dry and well-ventilated location.
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a cushion
to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles, or ships.
• The temperature range for camera use is 0°C to 40°C.
• The LCD display may appear black under high temperatures, but will return to
normal as temperatures normalize.
• The LCD display may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due to
liquid crystal properties, and is not a fault.
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain high
performance.
• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and outside of
the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, retrieving the camera
after decreasing the temperature difference.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts. These
could cause a camera breakdown. Wipe dry any rain or water drops on the camera.
• See “Precautions when using an SD Memory Card / MultiMediaCard” (p.18) for
details on the SD Memory Card / MultiMediaCard.
• Please do not press forcefully on the LCD monitor. This could cause breakage or
malfunction.

Water-resistant Feature
• This camera conforms to JIS, (Japanese Industrial Standard) Class 5 water
resistant, (Direct jetting water under defined conditions shall have no harmful effect)
and Class 7 water resistant, (Water shall not enter the enclosure when it is
immersed in water up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter.)
• This camera cannot be used underwater.
• Immediately after using the camera, be sure to carefully wipe off any water or dirt
with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not place the camera directly on the sand at a beach or other location. Exposure
to large amounts of sand or dirt may damage the camera.
• The inside of the camera is not water resistant. Before using the camera, be sure
the terminal cover and battery/card cover are securely closed.
When replacing the battery or inserting or removing the memory card, carefully
wipe off any water or dirt and open the cover in a location where the camera is not
exposed to water or dirt. If water, sand, or dirt gets inside the camera, the camera
may become damaged.
• If the camera becomes exposed to large amounts of dirt or salt water, make sure
that the power is off and the terminal cover and battery/card cover are securely
closed, and then carefully rinse off the camera under slowly running tap water or in
a shallow basin filled with fresh water for two to three minutes.
• This camera should not be immersed in water for periods longer than thirty minutes
at a time or exposed to extreme water pressure.
• Do not clean the camera with soapy water, mild detergent, or alcohol as this may
reduce the effectiveness of the camera’s water-resistant feature. Be careful not to
expose the camera to coffee or other beverages, as this may also reduce the
effectiveness of the camera’s water-resistant feature.
• Before using the camera, be sure to wipe off any sand or debris from the waterresistant packing and the areas between the camera and the packing. Any
scratches or damage to the packing or the areas between the camera and the
packing or any peeling of the packing may reduce the effectiveness of the camera’s
water-resistant feature. If this should occur, please call the Pentax Customer
Service Department.
• The accessories of SD card, battery, USB cable and AV cable are not water
resistant.

Using the AC Adapter
When using the LCD monitor for a long time or when connecting to your
PC, we recommend using the AC adapter D-AC5 (sold separately).
1Make sure the camera is turned off before opening the
terminal cover.
2Connect the DC terminal on the AC adapter to the DC
input terminal on the camera.
3Connect the AC plug cord to the AC adapter.
4Plug the AC plug cord into the power outlet.
• Make sure the camera is turned off before connecting or disconnecting
the AC adapter.
• Make sure connections are secure between the camera, AC adapter,
AC plug cord terminal, and the power outlet. Disconnections while the
camera is recording or reading data will corrupt your data.
• When using the AC adapter, be sure to read the AC adapter D-AC5
operating manual.
• Connecting the AC adapter will not charge the rechargeable batteries
in your camera.

Viewing Images on a PC
You can view recorded images and edit them on the PC just by
connecting the camera to the PC with the USB cable and downloading
the images (you need to install the USB driver if you are using Windows

the camera and transfer the data with a card reader. On a laptop, you
can put a SD Memory Card / MultiMediaCard in a card adapter and insert
it into your card slot to transfer the image data. (When using other
equipment to transfer your images from your SD Memory Card /
MultiMediaCard, please read the operating manual for your equipment.)

Printing Images at a Printing Service
Prints of images recorded on the SD Memory Card / MultiMediaCard can
be ordered in the same way as with conventional photographs by taking
the SD Memory Card / MultiMediaCard to a store that performs printing.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) settings allow you to specify the
