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 travelling). Contents of a recording such as images and sounds cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or data transfer from your camera to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording medium (SD Memory Card), etc.
• The lens on this camera is not exchangeable. 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 the camera from its case and store in a well-ventilated place to prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage.
• Do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water or any other liquid, because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant.
• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, or ship, etc.
• 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 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.
• Avoid contact with garbage, dirt, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, salt, etc. as this may cause damage to the camera. If rain or drops of water get onto the camera, please wipe dry.
• Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card” (p.24) regarding
the SD Memory Card.
• Please note that the formatting of the SD Memory Card or built-in 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’s memory at your own risk.
• The AC plug cord supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with the
Battery charger D-BC68. Do not use it with any other equipment.
• Please do not press forcefully on the LCD monitor. This could cause breakage or malfunction.

Data Backup
Very occasionally, data stored in the built-in memory becomes unreadable. As a backup measure, we recommend that you transfer important data to a PC or store the data in a medium other than the built-in memory.
Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before opening the battery/card cover.
• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a write-protect switch.
Write-protect switch
Setting the switch to [LOCK] protects the existing data by prohibiting recording of new data, deletion of existing data or formatting of the card.
• Care should be taken if you remove the SD Memory Card immediately after using the camera, as the card may be hot.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the camera off while data is being recorded on the card, images or sound are being played back, or the camera is connected to a PC with the USB cable as 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 temperature.
• Be sure to format unused cards or cards that have been used in another camera.
Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card or the Built-in Memory” (p.168) for
instructions on formatting.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage the card and render it unusable.
• The data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following circumstances.
PENTAX does not accept any liability for data that is deleted
(1) when the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) when the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
(3) when the card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the card is ejected, the AC adapter is disconnected or the battery is removed while the data on the card is being recorded or accessed.
• The SD Memory Card has a limited service life. If it 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 PC.
• Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the card in direct sunlight or where it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
• When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed, recording may stop while you are taking movies even when there is adequate space in the memory, or shooting and playback may take a long time.
• Before purchasing an SD Memory Card, please check the PENTAX website to ensure that it is compatible with your camera. You can also contact the nearest
PENTAX service center for this information.
• 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. Please note that formatting the
SD Memory Card will not necessarily delete the data so that it cannot be recovered using off-the-shelf data recovery software. There are off-the-shelf secure data deletion software programs available that will completely delete the data. In any case, the data on your SD Memory Card should be managed at your own risk.

Image Size and Quality of Still Pictures
Select the image size and quality best suited to your purpose.
Higher quality levels and numbers of recorded pixels produce clearer images for printing, but the resulting increase in file size reduces the total number of pictures that can be taken.
When you select high image quality as well as a large image size, it may take ten seconds or more for the camera to finish recording after shooting.

Using Histogram
A histogram is a graph showing the brightness of an image on the horizontal axis and the number of pixels on the vertical axis (distribution chart of the brightness). The histogram will help you detect the brightness of the image you have taken. For instance, the graph peak tends to appear on the left side for a darker image, and the graph peak tends to appear on the right side for a
(Dark)
Brightness
(Bright) brighter image.
In general, when the exposure metering of your image is well-balanced, the graph peaks tend to appear in the middle.
On the contrary, when the exposure metering of the subject is imbalanced, that is with dark areas and/or bright areas, the peaks will appear on the sides rather than in the middle.

“Blurring” is likely to occur when you take pictures of moving subject. This camera features image compensation systems and functions that work for both “camera shake” and “blurring”. Enjoy taking still pictures and movies without worrying about image blur.
Digital SR mode
The mode allows you to set the sensitivity to maximum ISO3200. The higher shutter speed enables the reduction of both “camera shake” and
“blurring”.

WARRANTY POLICY
8
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.
