voltages are present within the camera, and there is therefore a danger of
electric shocks if the camera is taken apart.
• If the inside of the camera should become exposed as a result of, for
example, the camera being dropped, please do not under any
circumstances touch such exposed portions, as there is a danger of
receiving an electric shock.
• To avoid the risk of it being swallowed by mistake, keep the SD Memory
Card out of the reach of small children. Seek medical attention immediately
if a card is accidentally swallowed.
• Wrapping the strap of the camera around your neck is also dangerous.
Please take care that small children do not hang the strap around their
necks.
• Use an AC adapter that is of the power and voltage specified for exclusive
use with this product. The use of an AC adapter other than that specified
exclusively for use with this product may cause fire or electric shocks.
• If the camera emits smoke or a strange smell, or in the event of any other
irregularity, stop using the camera immediately, remove the batteries or
unplug the AC adapter, and contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center.
Continued use of the camera may result in fire or electric shock.

wash the affected areas thoroughly with water.
• Remove the batteries from the camera immediately if they become hot or
emit smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use, so please take care, as
there is a risk of low temperature burns if such portions are held for long
periods of time.
• Should the LCD be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be
careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or in your eyes or
in your mouth.
Handling Precautions for Batteries
• This camera uses two AA alkaline, AA lithium, AA Ni-MH or AA nickel
manganese batteries. Do not use batteries other than those specified here.
Using some other type of battery may cause the camera to function poorly,

recharged. Do not try to take the batteries apart. The batteries may rupture
or leak if you try to charge them or take them apart.
• Do not remove the external seal of the battery. If the seal is removed, the
battery may short and may cause a fire, rupture, leak or heat.
• When replacing the batteries, do not combine different brands, types or
capacities. Also, do not combine old batteries with new ones. Doing so may
cause the batteries to rupture or cause a fire.

About the “auxiliary AF light”
When you attempt auto focusing on a dark subject, the camera may
emit orange light toward the subject. This is the “auxiliary AF light”,
which helps the camera to focus on the subject under the low light
conditions.
The auxiliary AF light of this camera conforms to the safety standard
(IEC60825-1) for Class 1 LED product. Looking at the light directly
will not create safety hazard. However, do not look into the emitter
from a very short distance since you may feel dazzled.

Using the Histogram
A histogram shows the
brightness distribution of an
image. The horizontal axis
represents brightness (dark at
the left and bright at the right)
and the vertical axis represents
the number of pixels.
(Dark) ←Brightness→ (Bright)
The shape of the histogram before
and after shooting tells you
whether the brightness and contrast are correct or not, and lets you decide
if you need to use EV compensation and take the picture again.
4
Understanding Brightness
If the brightness is correct, the graph peaks in the middle. If the image is
too dark, the peak is on the left side, and if it is too bright, the peak is on
the right side.
Dark image
Correct image
Bright image
Understanding Contrast
The graph peaks gradually for images in which contrast is balanced. The
graph peaks on both sides but sinks in the middle for images with a large
difference in contrast and low amounts of mid-level brightness.

Printing Using PictBridge
By connecting the camera to a printer that supports PictBridge using the
supplied USB/AV cable (I-UAV62), you can print images directly from the
camera without using a PC. Connect the camera to the printer and select
the images you want to print and the number of copies on the camera.
• You are recommended to use the AC adapter kit K-AC62 when the
camera is connected to the printer. The printer may not work
properly or the image data may be lost if the battery runs out of
power while the camera is connected to the printer.
• Do not disconnect the USB/AV cable during data transfer.
• Depending on the type of printer, not all the settings made on the
camera (such as print settings and DPOF settings) may be valid.
• A printing error may occur if the selected number of copies
exceeds 500.
•
Printing the index of the images (printing multiple images on a single
sheet) cannot be performed directly from the camera. Make the
settings on a printer supporting index printing function or use a PC.

WARRANTY POLICY
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.
