Regarding copyrights

Images taken with this camera that are for anything other than personal enjoyment cannot be used without permission according to the rights as specified in the Copyright Act. Please take care, as there are cases where limitations are placed on taking images even for personal enjoyment during demonstrations, performances or of items on display. Images taken with the purpose of obtaining copyrights also cannot be used outside the scope of use of the copyright as laid out in the Copyright Act, and care should be taken here also.

To users of this camera

• Do not use or store this camera 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 camera’s internal circuitry and cause camera misoperation.

• The liquid crystal panel used for the monitor 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 light up or may light up when they should not. However, this has no effect on the recorded image.

• The Shake Reduction (SR) mechanism of this camera

uses the PENTAX original technology and moves the image sensor to an appropriate position at high speed with a magnetic force, which reduces image blurring caused by camera motion. A rattling sound is made when the camera is shaken, for example, by changing its orientation, but this is not a malfunction.

• In this manual, the generic term “computer(s)” refers to

either a Windows

• In this manual, the term “battery(ies)” refers to any type of

batteries used for this camera and its accessories.

Inserting/Removing the Battery

u Caution

• Insert the battery correctly. If the battery is inserted incorrectly, it may not be removed.

• Wipe the electrodes of the battery with a soft dry cloth before inserting.

• Do not remove the battery while the power is on.

• Be careful as the camera or battery may become hot after the camera has been used continuously for a long period of time.

• Remove the battery when you do not use the camera for a long period of time. The battery may leak and damage the camera if left installed during prolonged periods of non-use. If the removed battery is not used for six months or longer, charge the battery for about 30 minutes before storing it. Be sure to recharge the battery every six to twelve months.

• Store the battery in a location where the temperature will remain at or below room temperature. Avoid locations with high temperatures.

• The date and time may be reset if you leave the battery out of the camera for long periods of time. If this happens, set the current date and time again.
