Inserting the Batteries
Insert batteries into the camera. Use two CR-V3 or four AA Ni-MH batteries, AA lithium batteries, or AA alkaline batteries.
This camera is packaged with AA alkaline batteries for checking the camera’s functionality but some other kinds of batteries are also compatible. Refer to
“Batteries” (p.26) for details on compatible batteries and when to use them.
• CR-V3, AA lithium batteries and AA alkaline batteries that can be used in this camera are not rechargeable.
• Do not open the battery cover or remove the batteries while the power is on.
• Remove the batteries when you will not use the camera for a long while. The batteries may leak.
• If the date and time settings have been reset when you insert new batteries
after a long while, follow the procedure for “Setting the Date and Time”. (p.35)
• Insert batteries correctly. Batteries inserted incorrectly may cause a camera breakdown. Wipe the electrodes of the batteries before inserting.
• Replace all the batteries at the same time. Do not mix battery type, brands or an old battery with a new one.

• Use the AC adapter (optional) when using the camera for a prolonged period.
• Check the battery orientation if the camera does not operate properly after replacing the batteries.
Be sure to fully close the battery cover. The camera will not turn on if the battery cover is open.
Batteries
You can use four kinds of batteries with your camera. Battery performance differs by type. Please choose the type that best suits your purpose.
CR-V3*
AA alkaline batteries
The CR-V3 is a long-life battery and is convenient when traveling.
AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries
These are rechargeable and are economical.
A commercially available battery charger that is compatible with the batteries is required.
AA lithium batteries Recommended in cold climates.
Provided with the camera. These are easily obtainable when your usual batteries run out but they may not support all the camera functions under certain conditions. We do not recommend their use except in emergencies and checking the camera's functionality.
* CR-V3 batteries have rechargeable and non-rechargeable types. This camera uses only non-rechargeable CR-V3 batteries.
Nickel manganese batteries and rechargeable CR-V3 batteries may cause malfunctions due to their voltage characteristics. Therefore, use is not recommended.

The picture storage capacity (normal recording and flash use 50%) is based on measuring conditions in accordance with CIPA standards and the others are based on PENTAX measuring conditions. Some deviation from the above figures may occur in actual use depending on shooting mode and shooting conditions.
• Battery performance temporarily decreases as the temperature decreases.
When using the camera in cold climates, have extra batteries on hand and keep them warm in your pocket. Battery performance will return to normal when returned to room temperature.
• AA alkaline batteries may not support all the camera functions. We do not recommend their use except in emergencies and checking the camera's functionality.
• Have extra batteries ready when traveling overseas, taking pictures in cold climates, or when you will be taking a lot of pictures.

Precautions When Using the SD Memory Card
• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a 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.
Write-protect switch
• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately after using the camera because the card may be hot.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the camera off while data is being saved to the card, images are being played back, or the camera is connected to a computer with the USB cable. 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 temperatures.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting. The card may be damaged beyond use.
• Data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following circumstances.
PENTAX does not accept any liability for data that is deleted if
(1) the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
(3) the card has not been used for a long time.
(4) the card is ejected or the battery is removed while the data on the card is being recorded or accessed.
• If the SD Memory Card 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 computer.
• 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.
• For information on compatible SD Memory Card, visit the PENTAX website or contact your nearest PENTAX customer service center.
• Format new SD Memory Cards. Also format SD Memory Card used with other cameras.
1
Formatting the SD Memory Card (p.169)
• 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 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.

Recorded Pixels and Quality Level
Choose the number of pixels (size) and quality level (data compression rate) of pictures according to how you intend to use the pictures you have taken.
Pictures with larger recorded pixels or more
E s are clearer when printed.
The number of pictures that can be taken (the number of pictures that can be recorded on an SD Memory Card) becomes less with larger file sizes.
The quality of the captured photo or printed picture depends on the quality level, exposure control, resolution of the printer and a variety of other factors so you do not need to select more than the required number of pixels. For example, to print in postcard size,
R
(1536×1024) is adequate. Set the appropriate recorded size and quality level depending on purpose.

Choose the appropriate number of recorded pixels and quality level for images on the [ A Rec. Mode] menu.
