Care to be Taken During Handling

Before Using Your Camera

• When traveling, 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 when 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.

About the Battery and Charger

• To keep the battery in optimal condition, avoid storing it in a fully charged state or in high temperatures.

• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.

• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.

• The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for the battery charger D-BC90. Do not use it with other devices.

Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera

• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.

• 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 (32°F to 104°F).

• The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to normal at normal temperatures.

• The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.

• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, and remove it after temperature of the camera and surroundings are equalized.

• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt. These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off any rain or water drops.

• Do not press forcefully on the monitor. This could cause it to break or malfunction.

• Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using a tripod.

Cleaning Your Camera

• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol, or benzine.

• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use a spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.

• Please contact a PENTAX Service Center for professional cleaning of the CMOS sensor. (This will involve a fee.)

Storing Your Camera

• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in high temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera. Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated place.

• Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.

• Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or in locations where it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.

• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain high performance.

Other Precautions

• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a writeprotect switch. Setting the switch to LOCK prevents new data from being recorded on the card, the stored data from being deleted, and the card from being formatted by the camera or computer.

•

The SD Memory Card may be hot when removing the card immediately after using the camera.

• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn off the power while the card is being accessed. 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 temperatures.

• Do not remove the SD Memory Card while formatting. The card may be damaged and become unusable.

•

Data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted if

1. the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.

2. the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.

3. the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.

4. the SD Memory Card or the battery is removed while the card is being accessed.

• If the SD Memory Card 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 computer.

• Format new SD Memory Cards. Also format SD Memory Cards previously used with other cameras.

Write-protect

switch

• Please note that deleting data stored on an SD Memory Card, or formatting an SD Memory Card does not completely erase the original data. Deleted data can sometimes be recovered using commercially available software. 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.

• The data on your SD Memory Card should be managed at your own risk.

Using the Histogram

A histogram shows the brightness distribution of an image.The horizontal axis represents brightness (dark at the left and bright at the right) and the vertical axis represents the number of pixels. The shape and the distribution of the histogram before and after shooting tell you whether the exposure level and contrast are correct or not, and let you decide if you need to adjust the exposure and take a picture again.

1Adjusting the Exposure (p.84) 1Brightness Adjustment (p.133)

Understanding Brightness

When the brightness is correct and there are no overexposed or underexposed areas, the graph peaks in the middle. If the image is underexposed, the peak is on the left side, and if it is overexposed, the peak is on the right side.

• The image on the monitor may differ from the actual image captured if the brightness of the subject is low or high.

• If any changes occur in the light source during shooting, the image on the monitor may flicker. You can cut down on flicker by setting the power frequency in [Flicker Reduction] (p.184) of the [R Set-up 1] menu to that used in your region.

• If the camera position is changed rapidly during shooting, the image may not be displayed with the appropriate brightness. Wait for the display to become stable before shooting.

• Noise may appear on the monitor image when used in dark locations.

• The higher the sensitivity, the more noise and color unevenness may occur in the monitor image and/or captured image.

• If you continue shooting for a prolonged period, the internal temperature of the camera may increase, resulting in lower quality images. It is recommended that you turn off the cam era when not shooting. To prevent the image quality from degrading, allow enough time for the camera to cool down while shooting with long exposures or recording movies.

• If the internal temperature of the camera becomes high, l (temperature warning) will appear on the monitor. If this happens, stop shooting or turn off the monitor. If you continue shooting with the temperature warning displayed, the camera will turn off.

Basic Operations

Using the Built-in Flash

Use a flash to take pictures in low light or backlit conditions. The built-in flash is optimum for a subject at a distance from 0.7 m to 5 m. Vignetting (darkening of the corners of the image due to a lack of light) may occur when used at a distance closer than 0.7 m (this distance varies slightly depending on the lens being used and the sensitivity setting. (p.218))

•

When using the built-in flash, remove the lens hood before shooting. Vignetting may occur depending on the lens being used and the capture conditions. Refer to “Lens Compatibility with the Built-in Flash” (p.219) for details.

• The built-in flash fully discharges when using a lens without an s (Auto) position.

For details on the built-in flash and instructions on how to take pictures with an external flash, refer to “Using the Flash” (p.215).

Locking the Exposure Before Shooting (AE Lock)

AE Lock is a function that locks the exposure (brightness) prior to taking a picture. Use this when the subject is too small or is backlit and a proper exposure setting cannot be obtained.

Assign [AE Lock] to the =/L button.

Refer to “Setting the =/L Button Operation” (p.152) for details.

Set the exposure, and press the =/L button.

The camera locks the exposure at that instant.

@ is displayed on the monitor while AE Lock is engaged.

Press the =/L button again to cancel AE Lock.

• You will hear a beep when AE Lock is activated and deactivated. The beep can be turned off. (p.186)

• AE Lock is not available in p mode.

• If you want to also lock the exposure when the focus is locked, set [4. AE-L with AF Locked] (p.72) of the [A Custom Setting 1] menu to [On].

• When the shutter speed or aperture value is changed while AE Lock is engaged in a (Manual) mode, the combination of shutter speed and aperture value changes while the exposure remains the same. For example, when the shutter speed is 1/125 sec. and aperture value is F4 and these settings are locked, the aperture value automatically changes to F8 if the shutter speed is changed to 1/30 sec.

• When using a zoom lens whose maximum aperture varies depending on the focal length, the combination of shutter speed and aperture value changes depending on the zooming position even while AE Lock is engaged. However, the exposure value does not change and the picture is taken at the brightness level that was set when AE Lock was activated.
