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.

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
