scapes 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
Super Macro mode for close-up focusing at 45cm.
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 set-
ting winding / rewinding, focus and exposure
control-are automatic, you can take great pictures
effortlessly. The DATE model makes it easy to re-
member the dates when you took pictures.

ting and the LCD panel is on. To switch off, push
the main switch button again. When not in use,
ensure that the camera is switched off.
* Use one 3V lithium battery, type CR123A or
the equivalent. Do not remove the battery be-
fore it is exhausted, since it is used by the date
function on the DATE model to keep constant
track of time.
A BATTERY CHECK
Battery check
After you turn the Main Switch ON, the lens
slightly extends and the lens cover opens. You are
now ready to shoot. See page 44 when the battery
exhaustion symbol ( D ) appears on the LCD
panel.
e If the camera is on and left unused for over 3
minutes, the lens automatically retracts and the
power switches off to save battery power.
e If the Main Switch is turned on within 60 min-
utes of auto-power off, the previous setting will
automatically return.
DP HOW TO HOLD THE CAMERA
When shooting, hold the camera securely with both
hands. Keep the camera as still as possible, and gently
depress the shutter release button. (If too much force
is applied, the camera is likely to shake, and the picture
will be blurred.) Try to brace your elbows against your
body, or support yourself and the camera against a
stable, stationary object, such as a wall.
When using the flash with the camera positioned ver-
tically, hold the camera so that the flash is above the
lens.
Caution:
Do not hold the zoom lens because it moves back and
forth while in operation.
Note:
e Make sure not to obstruct the autofocus win-
dow, lens, light sensor window or the built-in
flash with your fingers, hair or other object.
SP OPERATING 38-120mm ZOOM LENS
When you move the zooming lever tothe right ( § ), the lens moves
towards the 120mm telephoto setting and frames the subject
more closely. When you move the zooming lever to the left
(444), the lens moves towards the wide-angle 38mm setting.
When the lens zooms to the desired setting, release the zooming
lever and depress the shutter release button fully to take pictures.

Notes:
* Use only DX-coded film.
* Non-DX coded film cannot be used. If Non-DX
coded film is used, the camera sets the film
speed to ISO 25.
e Use high-speed film with an ISO rating of 1000 or
higher mainly for shooting indoors or in dimly-ht
conditions.
e A film with 150400 film speed is recommended to

с TAKING PICTURES
1 Composing the scene
After zooming the lens and composing your scene,
focus on the subject with the autofocus frame in the
center of the viewfinder.
2 Checking the lamp indication
Depress the shutter release button halfway down.
When the subject is in focus, the green lamp will
light up. If the subject is closer than 0.65m (2.1ft)
in wide 38mm and 0.85m (2.81) in tele 120mm,
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.
e When the red lamp lights up, it indicates that
the built-in flash will discharge. Ensure that you
are within the flash effective range before
shooting. (see page 19.)
с
3 Shooting
Depress the shutter release button fully, and the shutter
will be released. Then, the film automatically advances
to the next frame.
Notes: |
* When the shutter is released, the self-timer lamp
momentarily lights up to indicate that a picture has
been taken.
» 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 tow light or in
a backlit situation. When the shutter release button ix
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 result in
“red-eye”, the red dot in your subject’s eye. This
camera includes a red-eye reduction flash func-
tion, which reduces the red-eye phenomenon by
using pre-flash. See page 26 for details.

fluorescent lamps, TV images, sunlight
coming through trees, etc. and subjects illu-

NOTES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PANO-
RAMIC FORMAT PICTURES
e 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 for-
mat. If there are both panoramic and standard
format photographs on the film, ask the clerk to
develop the film with both standard and pano-
ramic format.
* The development of panoramic format pictures is 2 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 the options available to yor.
+ With panoramic format pictures, only the middle area of the frame is exposed. The number of exposures avail-
able in the panoramic format is equivalent to that of the standard photo size.

and the frame counter indication may not ap-
pear on the LCD panel. Follow the procedure
for rewinding the film in mid-roll to rewind the
film, and remove the film.
* The battery is used by both the camera body
and the date function on the DATE model to
keep constant track of time. After the battery 1s

TAKING CARE OF YOUR CAMERA
Your Pentax camera is a sophisticated, high-
precision, and reliable mechanism. Handle it with
great care.
* No not use the camera in a place where the cam-
cra may come in contact with rain or water be-
cause the camera is not weather-resistant.
Should the camera get wet from rain or splash-
ing 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 in-
spection.
e He carefui not to subject the product to strong
vibrations, shock or pressure. Use a cushion to
protect the camera when carrying it in a motor-
cycle. car, boat, etc.
e Usca blower and lens brush to remove dust ac-
cumulated on the lens or viewfinder.
* Do not storc the camera in a closet with moth-
balls 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 periods
in places where temperature and humidity are
high, such as in a car.
46
e Condensation on the interior or the exterior of
the camera may be extremely harmful to the
camera mechanism as it may cause rust and ог
corrosion. Furthermore, if the camera is taken
from warm temperature to a subfreezing 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 tem-
perature will be as gradual as possible. After the
temperature difference ts minimized, take it out
of the bag.
The temperature range at which this camera
function properly is SOC to 10°C (122°F to 14
ОЕ).
Electrical problems may often be caused by
water, dirt or dust at points of electrical contact.
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 as-
sessed.
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 downward.
Regular size color prints may cut off what ap-
pears 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 photo-
graphic 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 applica-
tion may not be covered under the terms of the
Pentax warranty.
Red-eye phenomenon in flash photography
When a picture is taken using a flash, a subject's
eyes may appear red in the print. This phenome-
non is caused by the reflection of the electronic
flash in the retina. It can be reduced when the sur-
roundings of the subject are brightened, or shoot-
ing distance is shortened or by employing the red-
eye reduction flash feature.
