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.
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
About the Battery and Charger
• 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-BC106. 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 display may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to normal at normal temperatures.
• The display 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 the 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.

• Be careful not to overtighten the tripod screw when using a tripod.
Cleaning Your Camera
• Do not clean the camera 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.
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 location.
• 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 where it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.

Using the Histogram
A histogram shows the brightness distribution of an image. The horizontal axis indicates the brightness (dark at the left and bright at the right) and the vertical axis indicates the corresponding number of pixels.
The shape and distribution of the
(Dark) ← Brightness → (Bright) histogram before and after shooting tell you whether the exposure level
Underexposed portions
Overexposed portions and contrast are correct or not, and let you decide if you need to adjust the exposure and take a picture again.
29
30
Compensating for Brightness (D-Range Setting) 1 p.104
Understanding Brightness
If the image is normal in brightness with no extremely bright or dark portions, 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 Image with few bright or dark areas
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 can warn for bright portions by red flashing in shooting and in playback.

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.

Electronic Level Indication
This camera is equipped with an electronic level for detecting whether the camera is level.
When you set [Electronic Level] to O (On) with [LCD View Options] in the [ A Rec. Mode 3] menu, the electronic level is displayed in standard display mode, showing tilt of the camera. Any tilt with respect to the level is shown on the horizontal bar graph and any tilt with respect to the perpendicular is shown on the vertical bar graph. The amounts of tilt are indicated with the marks and the colors of the bar graphs.
Examples
Horizontally and vertically level (green) Tilted to the right by 1° (yellow)
Vertically level (green)
Horizontally level (green)
Tilted upward by 5° (red)
Difficult to gauge the horizontal tilt (red)
Difficult to gauge the vertical tilt (red)
The electronic level indication is provided as a guide. It does not guarantee the precise level.

Instant Review and Blink Detection
The image appears on the display immediately after capturing (Instant
Review). If the camera detects that the subject’s eyes are closed while the Face Detection function is activated, the message [Closed eyes have been detected] appears for 3 seconds (Blink Detection).
• When the Face Detection function does not work, Blink Detection also does not function. Even if the subjects’ faces are detected, Blink
Detection may not function depending on the condition of the detected faces.
• You can set the Instant Review function to off (p.109).
• You can also disable the Blink Detection function (p.108).
57

To Use the Face Detection Function
With this camera, the Face Detection function is available with all shooting modes.
When the camera detects a person’s face in the image, the Face Detection function displays a yellow face detection frame around the face on the screen display, sets the focus (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 its own size as it tracks the face.
The Face Detection function can detect up to 32 people’s faces. If it detects multiple faces, the camera displays a yellow frame over the main face and white frame(s) over the other face(s). It can display up to a total of 31 frames including a main frame and white frame(s).
The default setting is [On]. You can switch to the
Smile Capture function that automatically releases the shutter when the subject smiles.

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 increasing the illumination in the area around the subject and/or decreasing the subject distance and adjusting the lens to wider angle setting. Setting the flash mode to D , F or
H 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 Edit function (p.153).

WARRANTY POLICY
7
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 non-authorized 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 is no representative 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 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.
230
• 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.
