• 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 liquid crystal display 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.
• Depending on your inherent 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 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.
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).

About this Manual
Preface v
• 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, shocks or pressure as this may cause damage or malfunction. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera to your nearest PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• The liquid crystal display will become black at a high temperature 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.
• 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.
• Please note that formatting a memory card or internal flash 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 memory at your own risk.
• Please do not press forcefully on the display. 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 display.

Using Macro Mode
Macro mode is designed for close-up photography and can capture all detail even when your subject is very close to the camera. Press the Left/Macro navigation button. The Macro icon displays on the LCD screen.
Note:
The camera supports seamless AF in Auto/ P-Mode/ Foliage with which a greater focus range is achieved without selecting the focus mode manually.
1.In Auto/ P-Mode/ Foliage with Macro mode setting:AF scans objects from 70cm to the lens' closest focus distance
(wide:10cm, Tele:35cm). After completing this Macro scan, if no object is focused in Macro range, then AF will extend to perform the normal scan.
2.In Auto/ P-Mode/ Foliage with no Macro mode setting:AF scans objects from infinity to normal range(0.6m) first. If
AF can't adjust focus in the first stage, then continues to scan from normal range to the closest focus distance (Macro mode).
The benefit of seamless AF is that focus point is determined automatically for objects in a greater range. Note that, however, due to scanning the wider range, longer scanning time may be required.
Setting the Flash Mode
You can choose from four flash modes to suit various lighting conditions.
Press the Up/Flash /Delete navigation button to scroll through the four modes on the LCD screen. The flash setting remains the same for subsequent photos until you change it as described above.
Auto flash: The flash fires automatically when needed.
Flash off: The flash is turned off.
Fill flash: The flash always fires.
Red-eye Reduction: The flash fires twice so as to reduce the red-eye effect.

Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old Equipment and Used Batteries
1. In the European Union
These symbols on the products, packaging and/or accompanying documents mean that used electrical and electronic equipments and batteries should not be mixed with general household waste.
Used electrical/electronic equipments and batteries must be treated separately and in accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling of these products. Following the implementation by member states, private households within the EU states may return their used electrical/electronic equipments and batteries to designated collection facilities free of charge*.
In some countries your local retailer may also take back your old product free of charge if you purchase a similar new one. *Please contact your local authority for further details.
By disposing of this product correctly you will help ensure that the waste undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environment and human health which could otherwise arise due to inappropriate waste handling.
2. In other countries outside the EU
These symbols are only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard these items, please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal.
For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic equipment can be returned free of charge to the dealer, even when you don’t purchase a new product. Further collection facilities are listed on the home page of www.swico.ch or www.sens.ch.
Note for the batteries symbol (bottom two symbol examples): This symbol might be used in combination with a designation for the chemical element or compound in use. In this case you have to comply with the requirement set by the Directive for the chemicals involved.
