To users of this camera • Do not use or store this camera in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage the stored data, or affect the camera’s internal circuitry and cause camera misoperation. • The liquid crystal panel used for the monitor is manufactured using extremely high precision technology.
2 • If any irregularities occur during use, such as smoke or a strange odor, stop use immediately, remove the battery or the AC adapter, and contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center. Continued use can cause a fire or electrical shock. Caution • Do not place your finger over the flash when discharging the flash. You may burn yourself. • Do not cover the flash with clothes when discharging the flash. Discoloration may occur. • Some portions of the camera heat up during use.
• Do not touch or short-circuit the terminal area of the AC plug cord while the cord is plugged in. • Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. This can cause an electric shock. • Do not drop the product, or subject it to violent impact. This can cause the product breakdown. • Do not use the battery charger D-BC90 to charge batteries other than the rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI90. Attempting to charge other types of batteries may cause an explosion or heating, or may damage the battery charger.
4 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.
5 Cleaning Your Camera • Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol, or benzine. • Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens.

9 Using the Flash This chapter provides details on the built-in flash and describes how to take pictures with an external flash. Using the Built-in Flash ..................................... 216 Using an External Flash (Optional) ..................
216 Using the Built-in Flash Flash Characteristics in Each Exposure Mode Using the Flash in b Mode • When taking a moving subject, you can use the flash to change the blur effect. • The aperture value automatically changes according to the ambient brightness. • Any desired shutter speed of 1/180 sec. or slower can be set for taking a flash photograph.
217 Using the Trailing Curtain Sync Flash Trailing Curtain Sync discharges a flash immediately before the shutter closes. When shooting moving objects with a slow shutter speed, Trailing Curtain Sync and Slow-speed Sync produce different effects depending on when the flash is discharged. For example, when shooting a moving car with Trailing Curtain Sync, trailing light is captured while the shutter is open and the flash captures the car immediately before the shutter is closed.
218 Distance and Aperture when Using the Built-in Flash Relationships among the guide number, aperture and distance must be considered when shooting with the flash to obtain a correct exposure. Calculate the shooting distance or aperture value in the following way, and adjust the shooting conditions if the flash output is not sufficient. Sensitivity ISO 100 ISO 200 ISO 400 ISO 800 Built-in Flash Guide Number Approx. 12 Approx. 17 Approx. 24 Approx.
219 Lens Compatibility with the Built-in Flash Depending on the lens used with this camera, even if a lens without a hood is attached, the use of the built-in flash may not be available or may be limited due to vignetting. DA, DA L, D FA, FA J, and FA lenses not listed below can be used without problems. * The following lenses were evaluated without a hood.
