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.
4
• 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
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 display. This could cause breakage
or malfunction.

Getting Started
• Do not use the battery charger D-BC68 to charge batteries other
than D-LI68 rechargeable lithium-ion battery, as the charger may
overheat or be damaged.
• If the battery is inserted correctly but the charging indicator fails to
light, the battery may be faulty. Replace it with a new battery.
• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery
performance. Avoid storing 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 usage span.
• Approximate Operating Time (when the D-LI68 battery is fully
charged)
Number of recordable images : Approx. 270 (at 23°C with the display on and
the flash used for 50% of shots)*1
Playback time
: Approx. 270 min.*2
Movie recording time
: Approx. 90 min.*2
Sound recording time
: Approx. 320 min.*2
*1 The number of recordable images are based on CIPA standard
measurement and may vary depending on capture mode and
shooting conditions.

• In general, battery performance temporarily deteriorates as the
temperature decreases. When using the camera in a cold
environment, keep it warm by putting it in your pocket or inside
your coat. Battery performance that has deteriorated due to low
temperature will be restored when the battery is returned to room
temperature.
• Be sure to take a spare battery with you when traveling abroad or
to a cold region, or if you intend to take a lot of pictures.

Charging the Battery Abroad
The battery charger supplied with the camera is designed to switch
automatically to the voltage (100-240V) and frequency (50Hz, 60Hz) of
the electricity supply in the country or region where used.
However, electrical socket shapes differ depending on the country or
region. Before traveling abroad, you are advised to check the socket
shape in your destination (see “Main Socket Types in the Major
Countries and Regions of the World” (p.20)) and take an appropriately
shaped off-the-shelf adapter plug with you. (Electrical socket shapes
may vary depending on every region in the country. Check the socket
shape used in the region.)
The socket shape does not affect the charging method.
• Use of an off-the-shelf transformer may lead to defective
operation.
• Unplug the adapter plug from the power outlet when the battery
charger is not in use.

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.176) 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.
• 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.
• 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.

take ten seconds or more for the camera to finish recording after
shooting.

Taking Pictures
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
Brightness
a darker image, and the graph peak
(Dark)
(Bright)
tends to appear on the right side for a
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.

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

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.
• 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.
