Care to be Taken During Handling

Before Starting Use

• 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.

• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.

About the Battery and Battery Charger

• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance.

Avoid storing it especially 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 service life.

• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.

• The AC plug cord supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with the battery charger D-BC92. Do not use it with any other equipment.

Cautions when Carrying and Using the Camera

• Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.

• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof performance. 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 -10°C to 40°C

(14°F to 104°F).

• The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperatures but will return to normal at normal temperatures.

• 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 malfunction.

• 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.

• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts.

These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off any rain or water drops.

• Please do not press forcefully on the display. This could cause it to break or malfunction.

• Close the battery/card and terminal covers properly until they click.

Otherwise water may get in and damage the camera.

Be Careful Near the Water

• Avoid opening the battery/card and terminal covers when near the waterside or with wet hands. Wait until the camera is completely dry before changing the battery or the SD Memory Card. Avoid changing the battery or card where the camera is likely to get wet or dirty, and make sure that your hands are dry.

• The camera will sink if dropped in water, so be sure to attach the strap and slip the strap over your wrist when using the camera in or near water.

• To enhance the waterproof performance of the camera, the front of the lens is protected by glass. As any dirt or water on the glass will affect the quality of pictures taken, the glass should be kept clean at all times.

Precautions When Using the Camera in the Water

• Do not use the camera deeper than 10 meters underwater. Do not use the camera underwater for more than 120 minutes consecutively.

• Do not open the battery/card and terminal covers underwater.

• Do not use in hot water or in a hot spring.

• Do not apply excessive force to the camera, for example diving into water with it. Doing so may compromise the waterproof performance of the camera or cause the covers to open.

• Leaving the camera on the sand at the beach may cause the camera to exceed its operating temperature or cause the speaker or microphone to become blocked with sand.

• Avoid subjecting the camera to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure as this may cause a loss in waterproof performance. If the camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera to your nearest PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.

• Avoid getting sunscreen or sun oil on the camera as it may cause discoloration of the surface. If any oil gets on the camera, wash it off immediately with warm water.

• Sudden and extreme changes in temperature may cause condensation to form in and on the camera. Keep the camera in a bag or case to reduce the difference in temperature.

Precautions After Using the Camera in the Water

• Do not open the battery/card cover or terminal cover if the camera is wet.

Wipe off any water with a clean lint-free cloth.

• The inside surface of the covers may get wet when they are opened. Wipe off any water that is on the cover.

• Wiping off the camera while there is sand or dust on it may scratch the surface of the camera. Make sure that the battery/card cover and terminal cover are firmly closed before washing the camera in tap water. After washing the camera, dry it with a soft cloth.

• Wipe off any dirt or sand on the waterproof packing or the packing contact surface. The camera’s waterproof performance may be compromised by loose packing or cracks or dents in the packing or packing contact surface.

If there is any such damage, contact your nearest PENTAX Service

Center.

• If the camera is very dirty or after it has been used in the sea, make sure that it is turned off and the battery/card and terminal covers are firmly closed before rinsing it under running tap water or leaving it in a bowl of clean water for a short time (2 or 3 minutes).

• Avoid cleaning with agents such as soapy water, mild detergents, or alcohol as this may compromise the waterproof performance of the camera.

• To maintain the waterproof performance of the camera, you are recommended to change the waterproof packing once a year. Contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center regarding changing the packing. (A charge will be made.)

• The camera’s accessories are not waterproof.

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 of the histogram

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

Dark portions Bright portions you whether the brightness and contrast are correct or not, and lets you decide if you need to use EV compensation and take the picture again.

Setting the Exposure (EV Compensation)

p.124

Understanding Brightness

If the brightness is correct, 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 image Correct image Bright image

When the image is underexposed, the part to the left is cut off (dark portions) and when the image is overexposed, the part to the right is cut off (bright portions).

This camera has a function where overexposed areas are indicated as blinking red and underexposed areas as blinking yellow.

Understanding Contrast

The graph peaks gradually for images in which contrast is balanced. The graph peaks on both sides but sinks in the middle for images with a large difference in contrast and low amounts of mid-level brightness.

Attaching the Strap

Attach the strap (O-ST104) supplied with the camera.

1Getting Started

Pass the narrow end of the strap through the strap lug.

(Face Detection AF) and compensates the exposure (Face Detection AE).

If the subject in the face detection frame moves, the frame also moves and changes size as it tracks the face.

The Face Detection function can recognize up to 32 people’s faces. If it recognizes multiple faces, the camera displays a yellow frame over the main face and white frames over the other faces. It can display up to a total of 31 frames, including both the main and white frames.

About the red-eye phenomenon

Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject’s eyes to appear red in the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash is reflected in the subject’s eyes. It can be reduced by illuminating the area around the subject or moving closer to the subject and zooming out to a wider angle.

Setting the flash mode to c (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) is also an effective way of reducing red eyes.

If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be corrected

by the red-eye compensation function (p.191).
