Discoloration may occur.
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use. There is a risk
of low temperature burns when holding such portions for long periods.
• Should the monitor 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 mouth.
• Depending on your individual factors or physical condition, the use
of the camera may cause itching, rashes or blisters. In case of any
abnormality, stop using the camera and get medical attention
immediately.
About the Battery Charger and AC Adapter

• If you see a lightning flash or hear thunder during use of the battery
charger or AC adapter, unplug the power plug and discontinue using.
Continued use can cause damage to the product, fire or electric shock.
• Wipe off the power plug if it should become covered with dust.
Accumulated dust may cause a fire.
• 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.
Caution
• Do not place or drop heavy objects on or forcefully bend the AC plug
cord. Doing so may damage the cord. Should the AC plug cord be
damaged, consult your nearest service center.
• Do not touch or short-circuit the terminal area of the AC plug cord while
the cord is plugged in.
• Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. This can cause an electric
shock.

To users of this camera
Regarding copyrights
Images taken with this camera that are for anything other
than personal enjoyment cannot be used without permission
according to the rights as specified in the Copyright Act.
Please take care, as there are cases where limitations are
placed on taking pictures even for personal enjoyment
during demonstrations, performances or of items on display.
Images taken with the purpose of obtaining copyrights
cannot also be used outside the scope of use of the
copyright as laid out in the Copyright Act, and care should be
taken here also.
8
• 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 functioning 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 with
a magnetic force, which reduces image blurring caused by
camera motion. A rattling 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® PC or a Macintosh.
• In this manual, the term “battery(ies)” refers to any type of
batteries used for this camera and its accessories.
Regarding User Registration
In order to better serve you, we request that you complete
the user registration, which can be found on the CD-ROM
supplied with the camera or on our website.
Thank you for your cooperation.

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 displayed in Step 4 varies
depending on 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 E2 menu and use the viewfinder for
shooting.
• For U and w, set the camera on a fixed support such as
a tripod during shooting.
• For w, [Shake Reduction] of the A4 menu is fixed to [Off].

u Caution
• Never press 1 on the camera when any external flash unit
is attached to the camera. The built-in flash will hit the
external flash. If you want to use both at once, connect them
using an extension cord.
• Flashes with the reversed polarity (the center contact on the
hot shoe is minus) cannot be used due to the risk of damaging
the camera and flash.
• Do not combine with accessories that have a different
number of contacts, such as Hot Shoe Grip, as a malfunction
may occur.
• Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause
equipment breakdown.
t Memo
• With the AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or
AF360FGZ II, you can use the high-speed sync flash to
discharge a flash and take a picture at a shutter speed faster
than 1/180 seconds. Set the capture mode to I, K, or L.
• By using two or more external flashes (AF540FGZ,
AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or AF360FGZ II) or by using these
external flashes in combination with the built-in flash, you can
use the wireless mode (controller flash) to shoot in P-TTL
flash mode without connecting the flash units with a cord.
In this case, set the camera channel on the external flashes.
You can check the set channel in the status screen, Live View
screen, and viewfinder. (p.14, p.19)

Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Using Your Camera
• 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 when 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 (memory cards), etc.
About the Battery and Charger
Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera
• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not
leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use
a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles,
automobiles, or ships.
• The temperature range for camera use is -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
• The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to
normal at normal temperatures.
• The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due
to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.
• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and
outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag,
and remove it after temperatures of the camera and surroundings are
equalized.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt.
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry
off any rain or water drops immediately.
• Do not attach or remove a lens when there are any rain or water drops
on the camera. If water enters the camera or the lens, a malfunction may
occur.
Cleaning Your Camera
• Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol,
and benzine.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on a lens. Never use a
spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
• Please contact your nearest service center for professional cleaning of
the CMOS sensor. (This will involve a fee.)
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to
maintain high performance.
Storing Your Camera
• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in high
temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera.
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated
place.
• Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static
electricity or electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or in locations where
it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
About SD Memory Cards
• The SD Memory Card is
equipped with a write-protect
switch. Setting the switch to
LOCK prevents new data from
being recorded on the card, the
stored data from being deleted,
and the card from being
Write-protect
formatted by the camera or a
switch
computer.
• The SD Memory Card may be
hot when removing the card immediately after using the camera.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn off the power while the card
is being accessed. 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 temperatures.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card while formatting. The card may be
damaged and become unusable.
7
Appendix
• To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully
charged state or in high temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time,
the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is
recommended.
• The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for
the battery charger D-BC109. Do not use it with other devices.
• 6 Class II equipment: The provided battery charger is a Class II
(double-insulated) product.
• Do not press on the monitor with excessive force. This could cause it to
break or malfunction.
• Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using
a tripod.
137

Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Notice
Pour les utilisateurs au Canada
Industrie Canada (IC) Avis de Conformité
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES003 (B).
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme
NMB-003 (B) du Canada.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en
compromettre le fonctionnement.
Les connaissances scientifiques dont nous disposons n’ont mis
en évidence aucun problème de santé associé à l’usage des
appareils sans fil à faible puissance. Nous ne sommes
cependant pas en mesure de prouver que ces appareils sans fil
à faible puissance sont entièrement sans danger. Les appareils
sans fil à faible puissance émettent une énergie fréquence
radioélectrique (RF) très faible dans le spectre des micro-ondes
lorsqu’ils sont utilisés. Alors qu’une dose élevée de RF peut
avoir des effets sur la santé (en chauffant les tissus),
l’exposition à de faibles RF qui ne produisent pas de chaleur n’a
pas de mauvais effets connus sur la santé. De nombreuses
études ont été menées sur les expositions aux RF faibles et
n’ont découvert aucun effet biologique. Certaines études ont
suggéré qu’il pouvait y avoir certains effets biologiques, mais
ces résultats n’ont pas été confirmés par des recherches
supplémentaires. Le KP a été testé et jugé conforme aux limites
d’exposition aux rayonnements IC énoncées pour un
environnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles d’exposition
aux fréquences radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC.
7
Appendix
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using low power wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless
devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit
low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave
range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that
does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not
found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that
some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not
been confirmed by additional research. The KP has been tested
and found to comply with IC radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC
radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
