Care to be Taken During Handling

Before Using Your Camera

• When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the package. 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 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 (SD Memory Card), etc.

About the Battery and Charger

• To keep the battery in optimal 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-BC90. Do not use it with other devices.

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 0°C to 40°C (32°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 temperature 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.

• Do not press forcefully on the monitor. This could cause it to break or malfunction.

• Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using a tripod.

Cleaning Your Camera

• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol, or benzine.

• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use a spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.

• Please contact a PENTAX Service Center for professional cleaning of the CMOS sensor. (This will involve a fee.)

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.

• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain high performance.

Other Precautions

• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a writeprotect 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 formatted by the camera or computer.

• The SD Memory Card may be hot when removing the card immediately after using the camera.

Write-protect switch

• 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.

• Data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted if

1. the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.

2. the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.

3. the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.

4. the SD Memory Card or the battery is removed while the card is being accessed.

• If the SD Memory Card is not used for a long time, the data on the card may become unreadable. Be sure to regularly make a backup of important data on a computer.

• Format new SD Memory Cards. Also format SD Memory Cards previously used with other cameras.

• Please note that deleting data stored on an SD Memory Card, or formatting an SD

Memory Card does not completely erase the original data. Deleted data can sometimes be recovered using commercially available software. If you are going to discard, give away or sell your SD Memory Card, you should ensure that the data on the card is completely deleted or the card itself is destroyed if it contains any personal or sensitive information.

• The data on your SD Memory Card should be managed at your own risk.

Using the Histogram

A histogram shows the brightness distribution of an image.The horizontal axis represents brightness

(dark at the left and bright at the right) and the vertical axis represents the number of pixels.

The shape and the distribution of the

(Dark) ← Brightness → (Bright) histogram before and after shooting

Dark portions Bright portions tell you whether the exposure level and contrast are correct or not, and let you decide if you need to adjust the exposure and take a picture again.

Adjusting the Exposure (p.84)

Brightness Adjustment (p.133)

Understanding Brightness

When the brightness is correct and there are no overexposed or underexposed areas, the graph peaks in the middle. If the image is underexposed, the peak is on the left side, and if it is overexposed, the peak is on the right side.

Dark (underexposed) image

Image with few bright or dark areas

Bright (overexposed) image

When the image is underexposed, the part to the left is cut off

(underexposed portions with no detail) and when the image is overexposed, the part to the right is cut off (overexposed portions with no detail).

This camera can be set so that it displays the Bright/Dark Area warning during capture or playback mode.

Setting the Standby Mode Display Method (p.190)

Setting the Display for Instant Review (p.191)

Understanding Color Balance

Distribution of color intensity is displayed for each color in RGB Histogram

Display. If a color is partially cut off on one side, it indicates that the color is under- or overexposed, that the light is very weak or strong in that color, or that the white balance is incorrect.

Locking the Exposure Before Shooting

(AE Lock)

AE Lock is a function that locks the exposure (brightness) prior to taking a picture. Use this when the subject is too small or is backlit and a proper exposure setting cannot be obtained.

Assign [AE Lock] to the = / L button.

Refer to “Setting the = / L Button Operation” (p.152) for details.

Set the exposure, and press the

= / L button.

The camera locks the exposure at that instant.

@ is displayed on the monitor while AE

Lock is engaged.

Press the = / L button again to cancel AE Lock.

• You will hear a beep when AE Lock is activated and deactivated. The beep

can be turned off. (p.186)

• AE Lock is not available in p mode.

• If you want to also lock the exposure when the focus is locked, set [4. AE-L with AF Locked] (p.72) of the [

A Custom Setting 1] menu to [On].

• When the shutter speed or aperture value is changed while AE Lock is engaged in a (Manual) mode, the combination of shutter speed and aperture value changes while the exposure remains the same. For example, when the shutter speed is 1/125 sec. and aperture value is F4 and these settings are locked, the aperture value automatically changes to F8 if the shutter speed is changed to 1/30 sec.

• When using a zoom lens whose maximum aperture varies depending on the focal length, the combination of shutter speed and aperture value changes depending on the zooming position even while AE Lock is engaged.

However, the exposure value does not change and the picture is taken at the brightness level that was set when AE Lock was activated.

Selecting the Metering Method

Choose the part of the sensor to use for measuring brightness and determining exposure.

Multisegment

Centerweighted

N Spot

The sensor meters the brightness in multiple zones. (default setting)

Even in backlit locations, this mode automatically determines what level of brightness is in which portion and automatically adjusts exposure.

Metering is weighted at the center of the sensor.

The sensitivity increases at the center and no automatic adjustment is performed even during backlit scenes.

The brightness is measured only within a limited area at the center of the sensor.

You can use this in combination with the AE Lock function (p.87)

Lens Correction

Reduces distortions and lateral chromatic aberrations occurring due to lens properties.

Distortion

Distortion is a phenomenon in which the center of the image appears inflated (barrel distortion) or the center of the image appears pinched

(pincushion distortion). Distortion occurs more easily when using a zoom lens or a small diameter lens, and straight walls or the horizon in an image appear curved.

Pincushion distortion Barrel distortion

Lateral chromatic aberration

Lateral chromatic aberration is a phenomenon in which the magnification of an image varies according to the colors (wavelengths of light) when a picture was taken, and may cause a blurred image.

Chromatic aberration occurs more easily at shorter focal lengths.

139

Memo

Using the Flash

This chapter provides details on the built-in flash and describes how to take pictures with an external flash.

Using the Built-in Flash ..................................... 216

Using an External Flash (Optional) .................. 220

216

Using the Built-in Flash

Flash Characteristics in Each Exposure Mode

Using the Flash in b Mode

• When taking a moving subject, you can use the flash to change the blur effect.

• The aperture value automatically changes according to the ambient brightness.

• Any desired shutter speed of 1/180 sec. or slower can be set for taking a flash photograph.

Using the Flash in c Mode

• You can set the desired aperture value to take a flash photograph when you want to change the depth of field or shoot a subject farther away.

• The shutter speed automatically changes with the ambient brightness.

• The shutter speed automatically changes over a range from 1/180 sec. to a slow shutter speed that reduces camera shake (the slowest shutter speed depends on the focal length of the lens in use).

The shutter speed is locked at 1/180 sec. when a lens other than a DA,

DA L, D FA, FA J, FA or F lens is used.

Using the Slow-speed Sync Flash

You can use Slow-speed Sync in .

(Night Scene Portrait) of H mode or b mode when shooting portraits with the sunset in the background.

Both the portrait and the background are captured beautifully. G and H can be used in e or c mode.

• Slow-speed Sync slows down the shutter speed. To avoid camera shake, either set [Shake Reduction] to Q (On), or set it to R (Off) and use a tripod.

Note that the picture will also blur if the subject moves.

• Slow-speed Sync can also be performed with an external flash.

Using the Trailing Curtain Sync Flash

Trailing Curtain Sync discharges a flash immediately before the shutter closes. When shooting moving objects with a slow shutter speed, Trailing

Curtain Sync and Slow-speed Sync produce different effects depending on when the flash is discharged.

For example, when shooting a moving car with Trailing Curtain Sync, trailing light is captured while the shutter is open and the flash captures the car immediately before the shutter is closed. Therefore, the picture will include a sharp, well-lit car with trailing light behind it.

217

Slow-speed Sync

(Leading Curtain Sync)

Trailing Curtain Sync

Trailing Curtain Sync slows down the shutter speed.To avoid camera shake, either set [Shake Reduction] to Q (On), or set it to R (Off) and use a tripod.

218

Distance and Aperture when Using the Built-in Flash

Relationships among the guide number, aperture and distance must be considered when shooting with the flash to obtain a correct exposure.

Calculate the shooting distance or aperture value in the following way, and adjust the shooting conditions if the flash output is not sufficient.

Sensitivity

ISO 100

ISO 200

Calculating Shooting Distance from Aperture Value

The following equation calculates the effective distance of the flash for aperture values.

Maximum flash distance L1 = Guide number ÷ Aperture value

Minimum flash distance L2 = Maximum flash distance ÷ 5 *

* The value 5 used in the formula above is a fixed value which applies only when using the built-in flash alone.

Example:

When the sensitivity is ISO 200 and the aperture value is F5.6:

L1 = 17 ÷ 5.6 = approx. 3 (m)

L2 = 3 ÷ 5 = approx. 0.6 (m)

Therefore, the flash can be used in a range of about 0.6 m to 3 m.

However, the built-in flash in this camera cannot be used when the distance is 0.7 m or less. When the flash is used at distances closer than 0.7 m, it causes vignetting in the picture corners, light is distributed unevenly and the picture may be overexposed.

Calculating Aperture Value from Shooting Distance

The following equation calculates the aperture value for shooting distances.

Aperture value F = Guide number ÷ Shooting distance

Example:

When the sensitivity is ISO 200 and the shooting distance is 4 m, the aperture value is:

F = 17 ÷ 4 = approx. 4.2

If the resulting number (4.2, in the above example) is not available as a lens aperture, a smaller number that is closest (4.0, in the above example) is generally used.

219

Lens Compatibility with the Built-in Flash

Depending on the lens used with this camera, even if a lens without a hood is attached, the use of the built-in flash may not be available or may be limited due to vignetting.

DA, DA L, D FA, FA J, and FA lenses not listed below can be used without problems.

* The following lenses were evaluated without a hood.

Restrictions

Vignetting may occur if the focal length is less than 20 mm.

When the focal length is less than 28 mm, or when the focal length is 28 mm and the shooting distance is 1 m or less, vignetting may occur.

When the focal length is 35 mm or less or when the focal length is 50 mm and the shooting distance is less than 1.5 m, vignetting may occur.

When the focal length is less than 24 mm or when the focal length is 35 mm and the shooting distance is 1 m or less, vignetting may occur.

Vignetting may occur if the focal length is less than 35 mm.

Vignetting may occur if the focal length is 28 mm and the shooting distance is less than 1 m.

Built-in flash always discharges fully.

WARRANTY POLICY

263

All PENTAX cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photographic distribution channels are guaranteed against defects of material or workmanship for a period of twelve months from date of purchase. 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. No refunds will be made on repairs by nonauthorized PENTAX service facilities.

Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period

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 there are no representatives of the manufacturer in your country, send the equipment to the manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable length of time before the equipment can be returned to you owing to the complicated customs procedures required. If the equipment is covered by warranty, repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the equipment will be returned to you upon completion of servicing. 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

264 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.

• This warranty policy does not affect the customer’s statutory rights.

• The local warranty policies available from PENTAX distributors in some countries can supersede this warranty policy. Therefore, we recommend that you review the warranty card supplied with your product at the time of purchase, or contact the PENTAX distributor in your country for more information and to receive a copy of the warranty policy.
