USING YOUR CAMERA SAFELY
We have paid close attention to the safety of this product. When using this product, we request your special attention regarding items marked with the following symbols.
Caution
This symbol indicates that violating this item could cause minor or medium personal injuries, or material losses.
About the Camera
Warning
• Do not attempt to take the camera apart or remodel the camera. High voltages are present within the camera, and there is therefore a danger of electric shocks if the camera is taken apart.
• If the inside of the camera should become exposed as a result of, for example, the camera being 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 SD 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.
• Use an AC adapter that is of the power and voltage specified for exclusive use with this product. 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 batteries or unplug the AC adapter, and contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center.
Continued use of the camera may result in fire or electric shock.
• During thunderstorms, unplug and discontinue use of the AC adapter.
Continued use could cause equipment failure, a fire, or electric shock.

Caution
• Never try to disassemble or short the batteries. Also, do not dispose of the batteries in a fire, as they may explode.
• Do not charge any batteries other than rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. The batteries could explode or catch fire. Batteries for use with this camera other than Ni-MH batteries cannot be charged.
• Do not place your finger on the flash when it is discharging as there is a risk of burns.
• Do not discharge the flash while it is touching your clothing as there is a risk of discoloring.
• If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with your eyes, do not rub them. Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical attention immediately.
• If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with skin or clothes, wash the affected areas thoroughly with water.
• Remove the batteries from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or begins to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use, so please take care, as there is a risk of low temperature burns if such portions are held for long periods of time.
• Should the LCD be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or in your eyes or in your mouth.
Handling Precautions for Batteries
• This camera uses two AA alkaline, AA lithium, AA Ni-MH or AA nickel manganese batteries. Do not use batteries other than those specified here.
Using some other type of battery may cause the camera to function poorly, or the batteries may rupture or cause a fire.
• AA alkaline, AA lithium and AA nickel manganese batteries cannot be recharged. Do not try to take the batteries apart. The batteries may rupture or leak if you try to charge them or take them apart.
• Do not remove the external seal of the battery. If the seal is removed, the battery may short and may cause a fire, rupture, leak or heat.
• When replacing the batteries, do not combine different brands, types or capacities. Also, do not combine old batteries with new ones. Doing so may cause the batteries to rupture or cause a fire.
• Do not insert the batteries with the positive (+) and negative (–) poles in the wrong orientation. Doing so may cause the batteries to rupture or cause a fire.
About the AC Adapter
Caution
• Do not place heavy objects on the AC plug cord, allow heavy objects to drop onto it or allow the AC plug cord to become damaged due to excessive bending. If the AC plug cord becomes damaged, consult a
PENTAX Service Center.
• Do not short or touch the output terminals of the product while it is still plugged in.
• Do not plug in the AC plug cord with wet hands. This can cause an electrical shock.
• Do not subject the product to strong impacts or allow it to drop onto a hard surface. This can cause a malfunction.
• To reduce the risk of hazards, use only CSA/UL Certified power supply cord set, cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper, one end with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified
NEMA configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female connector body (with a specified IEC nonindustrial type configuration) or the equivalent.
Care to be Taken During Handling
• Take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the package with you when traveling. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad.
• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a wedding or during traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media
(SD Memory Card), etc.
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or benzene.
• Places of high temperature and humidity should be avoided. Particular care should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.
• Storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled should be avoided. Remove from case and store in a well-ventilated place to prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage.

• As this camera is not waterproof, do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water or any other liquid.
• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shock, or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera when it is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc.
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C
(32°F to 104°F).
• The LCD monitor will become black at a high temperature but will return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.
• The response speed of the LCD monitor becomes slow at low temperatures.
This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a fault.
• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain high performance.
• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may form on the inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic bag, and take the camera out when the difference in temperature has subsided.
• Be careful not to allow dirt, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases or salt to enter the camera as this may damage the camera. Wipe away any raindrops or water droplets and allow the camera to dry.
• Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card” (p.26) regarding
the SD Memory Card.
• Please note that formatting an SD memory card or built-in memory will delete all data; however it may still be possible to recover that data using off-the-shelf data recovery software. Please manage your camera’s memory at your own risk.
• Please do not press forcefully on the LCD monitor. This could cause breakage or malfunction.
• Be careful not to sit down with the camera in your back pocket as this may damage the exterior of the camera or the LCD monitor.
• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket on the camera.

• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately after using the camera, as the card may be hot.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the camera off while data is being saved to the card, images or sound files are being played back, or the camera is connected to a computer with the USB/AV cable, as this may cause the data to be lost or the card to be damaged.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it away from water and store away from high temperature.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage the card and render it unusable.
• The data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following circumstances. PENTAX does not accept any liability for data that is deleted
(1) when the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) when the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
(3) when the card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the card is ejected or the batteries are removed while the data on the card is being recorded or accessed.
• The SD Memory Card has a limited service life. If it is not used for a long time, the data on the card may become unreadable. Be sure to regularly make a backup of important data on a computer.
• Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the card in direct sunlight or where it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
• When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed, recording may stop while you are taking movies even when there is adequate space in the memory, or shooting and playback may take a long time.
• For information on compatible SD Memory Cards, visit the PENTAX website or contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center.

Recorded Pixels and Quality Level of Still Pictures
Choose the number of pixels (size) and quality level (data compression rate) of still pictures according to how you intend to use the pictures you have taken.
Higher quality levels and numbers of pixels produce clearer images, but the resulting increase in data volume reduces the total number of pictures that can be taken (stored in the camera's built-in memory or on the SD Memory Card).
The quality of the captured photo or printed picture also depends on the quality level, exposure compensation, resolution of the printer and a variety of other factors, so you do not need to select more than the required number of pixels. As a rough guide, i (1600×1200) is adequate for making postcard-size prints. Refer to the table below for the appropriate settings according to use.

[About the red-eye phenomenon]
Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject’s eyes to appear red in the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash is reflected in the subject’s eyes. It can be reduced by illuminating the area around the subject or moving closer to the subject and zooming out to a wider angle. Setting the flash mode to c (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) is also an effective way of reducing red eyes.

WARRANTY POLICY
All PENTAX cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photographic distribution channels are guaranteed against defects of material or workmanship for a period of twelve months from date of purchase. Service will be rendered, and defective parts will be replaced without cost to you within that period, provided the equipment does not show evidence of impact, sand or liquid damage, mishandling, tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, operation contrary to operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized repair shop. The manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall not be liable for any repair or alterations except those made with its written consent and shall not be liable for damages from delay or loss of use or from other indirect or consequential damages of any kind, whether caused by defective material or workmanship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the liability of the manufacturer or its representatives under all guarantees or warranties, whether expressed or implied, is strictly limited to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore provided. No refunds will be made on repairs by non-authorized PENTAX service facilities.
Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period
Any PENTAX which proves defective during the 12-month warranty period should be returned to the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment or to the manufacturer. If there is no representative of the manufacturer in your country, send the equipment to the manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable length of time before the equipment can be returned to you owing to the complicated customs procedures required. If the equipment is covered by warranty, repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the equipment will be returned to you upon completion of servicing. If the equipment is not covered by warranty, regular charges of the manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping charges are to be borne by the owner. If your PENTAX was purchased outside of the country where you wish to have it serviced during the warranty period, regular handling and servicing fees may be charged by the manufacturer’s representatives in that country. Notwithstanding this, your PENTAX returned to the manufacturer will be serviced free of charge according to this procedure and warranty policy. In any case, however, shipping charges and customs clearance fees to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase when required, please keep the receipt or bills covering the purchase of your equipment for at least a year. Before sending your equipment for servicing, please make sure that you are sending it to the manufacturer’s authorized representatives or their approved repair shops, unless you are sending it directly to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service charge, and only after you accept the quoted service charge, instruct the service station to proceed with the servicing.
