FOR SAFE USE OF YOUR CAMERA Sufficient attention has been paid to the safety of this product but please pay particular attention to the warnings indicated by the following symbols during use. Warning Caution This symbol indicates that it is possible that the user may experience serious difficulties if the warnings are not heeded. This symbol indicates that it is possible that the user may experience minor or middling difficulties or physical difficulties if the warnings are not heeded. 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 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. • 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. • To avoid the risk of it being swallowed by mistake, keep the SD / Multi Media Card out of the reach of small children. Seek medical attention immediately if accidentally swallowed. • Use an AC adapter that are 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 battery or disconnect the AC adapter and contact your nearest Pentax service center. Continued use of the camera may result in fire or electric shock. • Discontinue use of the AC adapter during thunderstorms. This can cause a fire or electrical shock. Caution: • 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. 1 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 highperformance. • 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-LI7 provided for this camera. If you use any other battery the camera may be damaged or malfunction. 2 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. • The liquid crystal panel used in the LCD display 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 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 from the actual product. 3 Contents FOR SAFE USE OF YOUR CAMERA ····························································1 Care to be Taken During Handling ··································································2 Contents ··········································································································4 Contents of the Operating Manual ··································································7 Checking the Contents of the Package ···························································8 Name of Parts ·································································································9 Names of Operating Parts ···········································································10 Getting Started ····················································································11 Attaching the Strap ························································································11 Powering the Camera ····················································································12 Charging the Battery ··············································································12 Installing the Battery ··············································································13 Using the AC Adapter (optional) ····························································15 Installing the SD Memory Card/MultiMediaCard ···········································16 Turning the Camera On and Off ····································································18 Adjusting the Viewfinder ················································································19 Initial Settings ································································································20 Setting the Display Language ································································20 Setting the Home Town ··········································································21 Setting the D.S.T.

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.

The difference is processed by our brain to produce a three-dimensional 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.
