FOR SAFE USE OF YOUR CAMERA

Sufficient attention has been paid to the safety of this product but please pay particular attention to the warnings indicated by the following symbols during use.

Warning These symbols indicate that it is possible that the

user may experience serious difficulties if the warnings are not heeded.

Caution These symbols indicate that it is possible that the

user may experience minor or middling difficulties or physical difficulties if the warnings are not heeded.

Warning:

• Do not attempt to take the camera apart or remodel the camera. High voltages are

present within the camera, and there is therefore a danger of electric shocks.

• If the inside of the camera should become exposed as a result of, for 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.

• Use an AC adapter that are 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.

•Discontinue use of the AC adapter during thunderstorms. This can cause a fire or

electrical shock.

Caution:

•Never try to disassemble, short or recharge the battery. Also, do not dispose of the

battery in fire, as it may explode.

• Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or begin to

smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.

• Some por tions of the camera heat up during use, so please take care, as there is a

risk of low temperature burns if such portions are held for long periods of time.

• If the batteries become old and begin to leak, handle with extreme care.

• If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with your eyes, do not rub them.

Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical attention immediately.

• If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with skin or clothes, wash the

affected areas throughly with water.

Care to be Taken During Handling

• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner or alcohol 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 from 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 liq-

uid, because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant. Should the camera get wet from rain, splashing water, or any other liquid, wipe it off immediately with a dry soft cloth.

• 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 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.

•

Remove dust from the lens and viewfinder using a blower or clean off dust using a lens brush.

•

Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain high-performance.

• 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). Pentax is not responsible for consequential damages (costs incurred as a result of taking pictures, loss of benefits that were to be obtained through taking pictures) arising from failure of this product.

• 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.

•The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to

104°F).

•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.

•Please refer to “Precautions When Using a CF Card” (p.15) regarding the

CompactFlash (CF) card.

• Be sure to use the D-LI2 rechargeable lithium ion battery provided for this camera. If

you use any other battery the camera may be damaged or malfunction.

To users of this camera

• There is a possibility that recorded data may be erased or that the camera may not function correctly when used in surroundings such as installations generating strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields.

• The liquid crystal panel used in the LCD display is manufactured using extremely high precision technology. Although the level of functioning pixels is 99.99% or better, you should be aware that 0.01% or fewer of the pixels may not illuminate or may illuminate when they should not. However, this has no effect on the recorded image.

How to Use the CF Card

When the CF card is inserted into the camera, images taken are recorded on the card. You can view the images recorded on the card on the camera itself, transfer them to your PC and print them out.

Viewing images on the camera

One of the advantages of a digital camera is that it enables you to view your pictures immediately after you have taken them. You can check the composition and brightness and take the picture again if you are not satisfied.

Playing Back Still Pictures p.76

Quick Start

Viewing images on a PC

You only need to install the USB driver the first time. After that, 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. Or you can remove the CF card from the camera and transfer the data to your PC using a card reader. If you use a laptop computer, you can transfer the image data by fitting the CF card into the card adapter and inserting the card adapter into the card slot.

Viewing Images with Windows PC p.87

Viewing Images with Macintosh p.102

Printing images by a printing service

Prints of images recorded on the CF card can be ordered in the same way as with conventional photographs by taking the CF card to a store that performs printing. The number of prints can be specified and dates can be included in the prints if DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is set before taking the CF card to a store that performs DPOF printing.

When taking a person, you are recommended to ask your model to stay as still as possible and to take the second picture as quickly as you can. It is easier to take the pictures if you use a tripod or appropriate base.

• As a guide, the camera should be moved about 1/40 of the distance between the camera and the subject. For example, if the subject is 3m away, the distance the camera should be moved will be 3m ÷ 40=7.5cm.

However, as the way people see three-dimensional images differs from person to person, there is no need to be too concerned. Refer to the table below for a simple guide to how far to move the camera.

Taking Pictures

● Viewing 3D pictures by the parallel method and cross method

As our eyes are positioned about 6~7cm apart, there is a very slight deviation between what we see with our right eye and what we see with our left eye. The difference is processed by our brain to produce a three-dimensional image. This principle is applied to taking and viewing 3D pictures. 3D pictures can be viewed by the parallel method where the left and right lines of vision are virtually parallel, as when looking at a distant scene, or the cross method where the left and right lines of vision are crossed, as when you cross your eyes. A certain amount of practice may be necessary to view 3D pictures without using the viewer.

● How to Assemble the 3D Image Viewer

Assemble the 3D image viewer supplied with the camera as shown below.

Taking Pictures

● How to view 3D pictures using the 3D image viewer

Print out the pictures so that they are about 11cm or 12cm wide and place the divider of the 3D image viewer in the middle of the two.

Tr ansfer the images with a PC or Macintosh p.87 or p.102

As the distance between the left and right eyes differs from person to person, some people may have difficulty obtaining a threedimensional effect even when looking at prints that are the same size. It may be especially difficult if the pictures are very large or very small. Try different sizes until the right effect is achieved.

•Never look at the sun through the 3D image viewer.

• Do not leave the 3D image viewer where it is exposed to direct sunlight as this may lead to fire.
