dropped, please do not under any circumstances touch such exposed portions, as there is a
danger of receiving an electric shock.
• To avoid the risk of it being swallowed by mistake, keep the memory card out of the reach of
small children. Seek medical attention immediately if a card is accidentally swallowed.
• 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.

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 unplug the AC adapter, and contact your nearest
PENTAX Service Center. Continued use of the camera may result in fire or electric shock.

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

and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic bag, and take the

Using Macro Mode
Macro mode is designed for close-up photography and can capture all detail even when your subject is
very close to the camera. Press the Left/Macro navigation button. The Macro icon displays on
the LCD screen.
Note:
The camera supports seamless AF in Auto/ P-Mode/ Foliage with which a greater focus range is achieved without
selecting the focus mode manually.
1.In Auto/ P-Mode/ Foliage with Macro mode setting:AF scans objects from 70cm to the lens' closest focus distance
(wide:10cm, Tele:35cm). After completing this Macro scan, if no object is focused in Macro range, then AF will extend
to perform the normal scan.
2.In Auto/ P-Mode/ Foliage with no Macro mode setting:AF scans objects from infinity to normal range(0.6m) first. If
AF can't adjust focus in the first stage, then continues to scan from normal range to the closest focus distance (Macro
mode).
The benefit of seamless AF is that focus point is determined automatically for objects in a greater range. Note that,
however, due to scanning the wider range, longer scanning time may be required.
Setting the Flash Mode
You can choose from four flash modes to suit various lighting conditions.
Press the Up/Flash /Delete navigation button to scroll through the four modes on the LCD
screen. The flash setting remains the same for subsequent photos until you change it as described
above.
Auto flash: The flash fires automatically when needed.
Flash off: The flash is turned off.
Fill flash: The flash always fires.
Red-eye Reduction: The flash fires twice so as to reduce the red-eye effect.

Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old Equipment and Used Batteries
1. In the European Union
These symbols on the products, packaging and/or accompanying documents mean that used
English
electrical and electronic equipments and batteries should not be mixed with general household
waste.
Used electrical/electronic equipments and batteries must be treated separately and in accordance
with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling of these products. Following
the implementation by member states, private households within the EU states may return their
used electrical/electronic equipments and batteries to designated collection facilities free of
charge*.
In some countries your local retailer may also take back your old product free of charge if you
purchase a similar new one. *Please contact your local authority for further details.
By disposing of this product correctly you will help ensure that the waste undergoes the necessary
treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environment
and human health which could otherwise arise due to inappropriate waste handling.
2. In other countries outside the EU
These symbols are only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard these items, please
contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal.
For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic equipment can be returned free of charge to the dealer,
even when you don’t purchase a new product. Further collection facilities are listed on the home
page of www.swico.ch or www.sens.ch.
Note for the batteries symbol (bottom two symbol examples): This symbol might be used in combination with
a designation for the chemical element or compound in use. In this case you have to comply with the
requirement set by the Directive for the chemicals involved.
