To users of this camera

• Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage the stored data, or affect the product's internal circuitry and cause camera misoperation.

• The liquid crystal panel used in the 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.

• If you point the camera toward an object that is bright, a band of light may appear on the LCD screen. This phenomenon is referred to as “smear” and is not a malfunction of the camera.

USING YOUR CAMERA SAFELY

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 injuries.

This symbol indicates that violating this item could cause minor or medium personal injuries, or material losses.

About the Camera

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 camera is taken apart.

•

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.

• If the camera emits smoke or a strange smell, or in the event of any other

irregularity, stop using the camera immediately, remove the batteries and contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center. Continued use of the camera may result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not discharge the flash while it is touching your clothing as there is a

risk of discoloring.

• Some portions 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.

• Should the LCD be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be

careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or in your eyes or in your mouth.

• Depending on your inherent factors or physical condition, the use of the

camera may cause itching, rashes or blisters. In case of any abnormality, stop using the camera and get medical attention immediately.

Handling the Batteries

Warning

• If any leakage from the batteries should come in contact with your eyes, it

may cause a loss of sight. Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical attention immediately. Do not rub them.

Caution

• This camera uses two AA alkaline, AA lithium or AA Ni-MH batteries. Do

not use batteries other than those specified here. Using some other type of battery may cause the camera to function poorly, or the batteries may rupture or cause a fire.

• AA alkaline and AA lithium batteries cannot be recharged. Do not try to

take the batteries apart. The batteries may rupture or leak if you try to charge them or take them apart.

• Do not insert the batteries with the positive (+) and negative (-) poles in the

wrong orientation. Doing so may cause the batteries to rupture or cause a fire.

• When replacing the batteries, do not combine different brands, types or

capacities. Also, do not combine old batteries with new ones. Doing so may cause the batteries to rupture or cause a fire.

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

batteries in a fire, as they may explode.

• Do not charge any batteries other than rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. The

batteries could explode or catch fire. Batteries for use with this camera other than Ni-MH batteries cannot be charged.

• If any leakage from the batteries should come in contact with skin or

clothes, wash the affected areas thoroughly with water.

• Remove the batteries from the camera immediately if they become hot or

begin to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.

About the SD Memory Card

Warning

• 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 card is accidentally swallowed.

About the AC Adapter

Warning

• 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.

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 excessive bending. If the AC plug cord becomes damaged, consult a PENTAX Service Center.

• Do not short or touch the output terminals of the product while it is still

plugged in.

• 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.

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.

Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera

• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.

• 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.

• As this camera is not waterproof, do not use the camera where it may come

in contact with rain, water or any other liquid.

• 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. If the camera is subjected to strong vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera to your nearest PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.

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

(32°F to 104°F).

• The monitor may appear black under high temperatures, but will return to

normal as temperatures normalize.

• 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.

• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and

outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, removing the camera after temperature of the camera and surroundings are equalized.

• Be careful not to allow dirt, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases or salt to

enter the camera as this may damage the camera. Wipe away any raindrops or water droplets and allow the camera to dry.

• Please do not press forcefully on the display. This could cause breakage

or malfunction.

• Be careful not to sit down with the camera in your back pocket as this may

damage the exterior of the camera or the display.

• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the

screw in the tripod socket on the camera.

Cleaning Your Camera

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

benzene.

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 from the case and store in a dry and well-ventilated location.

Other Precautions

• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain

high performance.

• Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card” (p.33) regarding

the SD Memory Card.

• Please note that deleting the data recorded on an SD Memory Card or

formatting an SD Memory Card using a camera or computer will not necessarily delete the data so that they cannot be recovered using off the shelf data recovery software. Such data should be handled and managed at your own risk.

Powering the Camera

Installing the Batteries

Install the batteries into the camera. Use two AA alkaline, AA lithium or AA Ni-MH batteries.

Open the battery/card cover.

Slide the battery/card cover in the direction 1. The cover will automatically open in the direction 2 when you release your fingers from it.

Insert the batteries, making sure the (+) and (–) terminals on the batteries match the (+) and (–) symbols inside the battery compartment.

Make sure to check the direction of the batteries. If the battery is incorrectly oriented, malfunction may result.

Getting Started

Close the battery/card cover and slide it in the opposite direction of 1.

• AA alkaline and AA lithium batteries are not rechargeable.

• Do not open the battery/card cover or remove the batteries while the camera is turned on.

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries.

Getting Started

• If the batteries are left in the camera for a long time, they may leak.

• If the batteries have been removed from the camera for a long time, when they are reinserted and the camera is turned on, the message [Battery depleted] may appear. This can also happen when using the camera for the first time; however this is not a malfunction. Turn the camera off, wait a minute and then turn the camera on again to reset the camera. The date and time may also be reset.

• Insert the batteries correctly. If the batteries are incorrectly oriented, malfunction may result. If the ends of the batteries look dirty, wipe them before inserting into the camera.

• Be careful as the camera or the batteries may become hot when the camera is used continuously for a long period of time.

Use the AC adapter kit K-AC62 (optional) if you intend to use the camera for a long time. (p.29)

• In general, battery performance may temporarily deteriorate as the temperature decreases. Be sure to take spare batteries when using the camera in a cold region and keep the batteries warm by placing them in your pocket or inside your coat. Battery performance that has deteriorated due to cold temperature will return to normal performance when the batteries reach room temperature.

• Due to their characteristics, AA alkaline batteries may not allow the camera to make full use of its capabilities when used at cold temperatures. Use of AA lithium or AA Ni-MH batteries is recommended when the camera is used at cold temperatures.

• Be sure to take spare batteries with you when traveling abroad or to a cold region, or if you intend to take a lot of pictures.
