Congratulations on your purchase of the PENTAX IQ
Zoom 115 and welcome to the world of Pentax zoom
compact photography! Your compact, light weight
camera is a great companion to preserve your favorite
memories. Its built-in 38-115mm zoom lens gives you
the freedom to frame everything from breathtaking
landscapes to family portraits, even detailed close-ups.
The built-in auto flash helps you capture subjects in
dimly-lit places or photograph indoor scenes with
clarity and brilliance. Also included are panorama/
standard format mid-roll switching capability, Super
Macro mode for close-up focusing at 45cm, and a
wireless remote control feature. Multi(6)-segment
metering system ensures very precise metering for
optimum exposure under any given lighting conditions.
Since most of the operations - including film loading,
film speed setting, winding/rewinding, focus and ex-
posure control - are automatic, you can take great
pictures effortlessly. The DATE model makes it easy to
remember the dates when you took pictures.
+ Please read this manual carefully before operating
the camera to take consistently superior pictures.

CAUTIONS
o The electric circuitry inside the camera contains
high voltage working parts. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera.
Be careful not to drop or subject the camera to
strong vibrations, shock or pressure.
Do not apply force to the zoom lens; do not place
the camera with the lens facing downward.
Never attempt to manually open the lens cover:
it will automatically open and close as the main
switch is turned on and off.
Make sure not to obstruct the autofocus window,
lens, light sensor window, or the built-in flash
with your fingers or hair.
Avoid leaving the camera for extended periods in
places where temperature and humidity are high
such as in a car.
Dirt, mud, sand, moisture, toxic gas, water, salt
water, etc., penetrating the inside of the camera
may cause damage or render it inoperable.
Damage of any kind will not be repaired under
the terms of the warranty. Therefore, handle the
camera with great care.
Never use solvents such as paint thinner, alcohol
or benzine to clean the camera.
PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY
e The misuse of battery can cause hazards such as
leakage, overheating, explosions, etc. The bat-
tery should be inserted with the "+" and "-" sides
facing correctly.
Never try to disassemble, short or recharge the
battery.
Also, do not dispose of the battery in a fire, as it
may explode.
Battery performance may be temporarily hindered
in low temperatures, but will recover in normal
temperatures.
Keep a spare battery on hand for replacement
convenience when shooting outdoors or while
traveling.
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
When the camera is in a bag, ensure the main
switch is off: otherwise, battery power may be
wasted if the shutter release button is acciden-
tally pushed.

and 0.85m (2.8ft) in tele 115mm, the green lamp
will blink to warn you. In this case, extend the
camera-to-subject distance until the green lamp is
lit continuously. The shutter cannot be released
while it is blinking.
* When the red lamp lights up, it indicates that the
built-in flash will discharge. Ensure that you are

3 Shooting
Depress the shutter release button fully, and the shutter
will be released. Then, the film automatically advances
to the next frame.
Notes:
e When the shutter is released, the self-timer lamp
momentarily lights up to indicate that a picture has
been taken.
e If you wish to focus on another subject, lift your
finger from the shutter release button and depress
the shutter release button halfway down again.
« The shutter cannot be released while the lens is
zooming.
Automatic Flash Emission
The flash will automatically discharge in low light or in
a backlit situation. When the shutter release button is
depressed halfway down in low light, the red lamp will
light up, indicating the flash is ready to discharge. If the
red lamp blinks, this indicates that the built-in flash is
being charged and the shutter cannot be released.
Therefore, ensure that the red lamp is lit continuously
before taking pictures. When existing light is sufficient
in a backlit situation and flash is not required, the
camera automatically adjusts the exposure for optimum
exposure, preventing underexposure.
Red-eye
Shooting portraits with the flash may resuit in "red-
eye", the red dot in your subject's eye. This camera
includes a red-eye reduction flash function, which
reduces the red-eye phenomenon by using pre-flash.
See page 22 for details.

tive Shooting mode.
Hard-to-autofocus subjects
Like many other autofocus cameras, the camera's
autofocus system is highly precise, but not perfect.
Some subjects may not be focused as you wish. In
such a case, use the focus-lock technique on a
subject near the actual one and equidistant from the
lens. Subjects which may fool the system include:
1. Black objects like hair, which don't reflect much
light (and therefore don't reflect infrared auto-
focus beams).
2. Wire netting, latticework, iron exercise-bars, etc.
3. Flickering light sources such as neon signs, fluo-
rescent lamps, TV images, sunlight coming
through trees, etc. and subjects illuminated by
these light sources.
4. Glossy and reflective surfaces like glass, mir-
rors, car bodies, etc.
5. Fast-moving objects, like trains or automobiles
in motion.
6. Water jets, water surface, smoke, flame, fire-
works, etc., Which have no distinct or consistent
form, or a subject in mist.

TAKING PANORAMIC FORMAT PICTURE
ZI Ç
You can switch between the panoramic format and
standard format picture taking mode in the middle of
the roll by moving the panorama mode switch. The
panoramic format picture allows horizontally posi-
tioned dynamic pictures to be taken (13 x 36mm on
film).
1 Switching to the panoramic format
picture ,
Move the panorama mode selector switch to (P) to
select the panoramic format mode.
e When the format is switched to panorama, the
viewfinder switches to the horizontal panoramic
format frame.
UL
2 Taking a panoramic format picture
Compose the scene within the panoramic format
frame, and then fully depress the shutter release
button to take a panoramic format picture.
e When taking panoramic format pictures at a
distance closer than 1.2m, keep in mind that as
when taking standard pictures the picture
area will shift slightly downwards. Make sure
to compose the scene within the red lined area.
35
The mark “-" indicates the position where the date and
time are imprinted.
The DATE MODEL allows you to record DATE infor-
mation in the panoramic mode in a similar manner to
the standard picture taking mode. See “DATE
MODEL" on page 38 for details. The dating unit
automatically switches the DATE position between the
standard and panorama according to the format mode
selected.
36
NOTES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PANO-
RAMIC FORMAT PICTURES
* When developing the film, if you have taken only
panoramic format pictures on the entire roll of film,
tell the clerk at the processing lab to develop the film
with only the panoramic format. If there are both
panoramic and standard format photographs on the
film, ask the clerk to develop the film with both
standard and panoramic format.
The development of panoramic format pictures is a more time-consuming and expensive process than that of
standard pictures. Please consult the processing lab for more details.
Panoramic format processing facilities differ depending on the area and requirements. Your local film processor
or camera dealers will advise you on all the options available to you.
With panoramic format pictures, only the middle area of the frame is exposed. The number of exposures available
in the panoramic format is equivalent to that of the standard photo size.
When the panoramic format picture is printed with a standard size format, the black cropped areas will appear
on the top and bottom of the picture.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR CAMERA
Your Pentax camera is a sophisticated,
high-precision, and reliable mechanism.
Handle it with great care.
* Do not use the camera in a place where the
camera may come in contact with rain or
water because the camera 1s not weather-
resistant. Should the camera get wet rain or
splashing water, wipe it off immediately with
a dry soft cloth.
* Do not drop the camera or allow it to hit a
solid object. If the camera suffers a severe
shock or impact, take it to a Pentax service
center for inspection.
Be careful not to subject the product to strong
vibrations, shock or pressure. Use a cushion to
protect the camera when carrying it in a mo-
torcycle, car, boat, etc.
* Use a blower and lens brush to remove dust
accumulated on the lens or viewfinder.
* Do not store the camera in a closet with
mothballs or in a case where chemicals are
handled. Store it in a place with good air
circulation to prevent fungus growth.
Avoid leaving the camera for extended peri-
ods in places where temperature and humidi-
ty are high, such as in a car.
42
Condensation on the interior or the exterior of
the camera may be extremely harmful to the
camera mechanism as it may cause rust and/
or corrosion. Furthermore, if the camera is
taken from warm temperature to a subfreez-
ing one or vice versa, the formation of icelets
may cause damage. In such a case, put the
camera into a case or plastic bag so that any
changes in temperature will be as gradual as
possible. After the temperature difference is
mini mized, take it out of the bag.
The temperature range at which this camera
function properly is 50°C to— 10°C (122°F to
14°F).
Electrical problems may often be caused by
water, dirt or dust at points of electrical con-
tact. Also check for battery leakage, traces of
dirt or grease, or corrosion due to salinity or
gas. If you cannot correct the problem, have
your camera inspected at a Pentax service
center. Repair of damage of any kind are not
covered under the terms of the warranty and
charges may be assessed.
Do not apply force to the zoom lens as doing
so causes damage to the camera. Never place
the zoom lens with the front side facing down-
ward. | |
Regular size color prints may cut off what
appears on the extreme edges of the film
frame. Compose your picture with a margin of
safety at the edges.
To maintain optimum performance, a camera
which has not been used for an extended
period, or is being prepared for an important
photographic session, it is recommended that
you have the camera inspected or test shoot
with it.
Repairs made necessary due to usage of this
product in an industrial or commercial appli-
cation may not be covered under the terms of
the Pentax warranty.
Red-eye phenomenon in flash photogra-
pny
When a picture is taken using a flash, a subject’s
eyes may appear red in the print. This phenom-
enon is caused by the reflection of the electronic
flash in the retina. It can be reduced when the
surroundings of the subject are brightened, or
shooting distance is shortened or by employing
the red-eye reduction flash feature.
