Please take care, as there are cases where limitations are placed on taking pictures even for personal enjoyment during demonstrations, performances or of items on display.

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 fu nctioning 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 wit h a magnetic force, which reduces image blurring caused by camera motion. A rattlin g 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.
Regarding User Registration

Using a Microphone or Cable Release
You can connect a commercially available stereo microphone to the microphone/cable release terminal on the camera. Using an external micropho ne can also help to reduce the possibility of recording camera operation sounds. The following specifications are recommended for external microphones. (A monaural microphone cannot be used with this camera.)
You can also connect the optional Cable Switch CS-310 to the microphone/cable release terminal on the camera. When the cable release is connected, sounds are recorded with the built-in microphone. You can set the device to connect in [External Input Devices] of the D3 menu. Normally, you do not need to change the default setting ([Auto Select]).
u Caution
• Do not connect a microphone or other device outside the recommended specifications to the microphone/cable release terminal. Also, do not use an external microphone with a 3-meter or longer cable. Doing so may cause the camera to malfunction.
• If an external microphone is used when recording a movie with the Wi-Fi™ function enabled, radio noise may be recorded depending on the compatibility with the microphone.

t Memo
•For q and U, a new folder is created and the captured
images are saved there.
• The shortest time that can be set for [Interval] is 5 seconds when [Digital Filter], [Clarity], or [Skin Tone] is set, and 10 seconds when [HDR Capture] is set.
• The second and later exposures start at the intervals set in [Interval]. If the exposure time is longer than the time set in [Interval], some of the pictures that are supposed to be taken at the set intervals are not actually taken. For example, if the time set in [Interval] is 2 seconds and the exposure time is 3 seconds, the first exposure does not end at the time the second exposure is supposed to start (2 seconds after the start of shooting), and so the second picture is not taken. As a result, Interval Shooting ends before the specified number of shots are taken. In such cases, you can set [Standby Interval] in [11 Interval Shooting Options] of the E2 menu so that pictures are taken at the set intervals after each exposure ends. The screen di splayed in Step 4 varies depending o n the [11 Interval Shooting Options] setting.
For q, U, V, and w, the focus position used when the first picture is taken is locked. In order to perform autofocus for each exposure, set [12 AF in Interval Shooting] to [Adjusts focus for each shot] in the shooting.
