• Never try to disassemble, short the battery. Also, do not dispose of the battery in fire, as it may explode.
• Remove the battery 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.
• Do not place your finger on the flash when it is discharging as there is a risk of burns.
• 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.
Care to be Taken During Handling
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner or alcohol 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.
• Do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water or any other liquid, because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant.
Should the camera get wet from rain, splashing water, or any other liquid, wipe it off immediately with a dry soft cloth.
• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure.
Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, or ship, etc.
• The liquid crystal display will become black at temperatures of approximately 60°C (140°F) but will return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.
• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low temperatures.
• This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a fault.
• Remove dust from the lens and viewfinder using a blower or clean off dust using a lens brush.
• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain high-performance.
• 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 travelling). Pentax is not responsible for consequential damages (costs incurred as a result of taking pictures, loss of benefits that were to be obtained through taking pictures) arising from failure of this product.
• 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.
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C
(32°F to 104°F).
• Avoid contact with garbage, dirt, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, salt, etc. as this may cause damage to the camera. If rain or drops of water get onto the camera, please wipe dry.
• Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card / MultiMediaCard”
(p.17) regarding the SD Memory Card / MultiMediaCard.
• Be sure to use the rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI8 provided for this camera. If you use any other battery the camera may be damaged or malfunction.
To users of this camera
• There is a possibility that recorded data may be erased or that the camera may not function correctly when used in surroundings such as installations generating strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields.

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 illuminate or may illuminate when they should not. However, this has no effect on the recorded image.
• There is a possibility that the illustrations and the display screen of the LCD monitor in this manual are different form the actual product.

Viewing Images on the Camera
One of the advantages of a digital camera is that it enables you to view your pictures immediately after you have taken them. You can check the composition and brightness and take the picture again if you are not satisfied.

• To cancel the 3D image mode change to another Capture mode.
• A clear three-dimensional effect will not be achieved if the two images are taken in widely different positions (heights) or are not straight. When taking a person, you are recommended to ask your model to stay as still as possible and to take the second picture as quickly as you can. It is easier to take the pictures if you use a tripod or appropriate base.
• As a guide, the camera should be moved about 1/40 of the distance between the camera and the subject. For example, if the subject is 3m away, the distance the camera should be moved will be 3m÷40=7.5cm.
However, as the way people see three-dimensional images differs from person to person, there is no need to be too concerned. Refer to the table below for a simple guide to how far to move the camera.

• Viewing 3D pictures by the parallel method and cross method
As our eyes are positioned about 6 - 7 cm apart, there is a very slight deviation between what we see with our right eye and what we see with our left eye. The difference is processed by our brain to produce a threedimensional image. This principle is applied to taking and viewing 3D pictures.
3D pictures can be viewed by the parallel method where the left and right lines of vision are virtually parallel, as when looking at a distant scene, or the cross method where the left and right lines of vision are crossed, as when you cross your eyes. A certain amount of practice may be necessary to view 3D pictures without using the viewer.
• How to Assemble the 3D Image Viewer
Assemble the 3D image viewer supplied with the camera as shown below.
4
65
• How to view 3D pictures using the 3D image viewer
Print out the pictures so that they are about 11cm or 12cm wide and place the divider of the 3D image viewer in the middle of the two.
4
As the distance between the left and right eyes differs from person to person, some people may have difficulty obtaining a threedimensional effect even when looking at prints that are the same size. It may be especially difficult if the pictures are very large or very small. Try different sizes until the right effect is achieved.
• Never look at the sun through the 3D image viewer.
• Do not leave the 3D image viewer where it is exposed to direct sunlight as this may lead to fire.

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.

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 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.
