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.
