Digital Camera Operating Manual To ensure the best performance from your camera, please read the Operating Manual before using the camera.
Thank you for purchasing this PENTAX Digital Camera. Please read this manual before using the camera in order to get the most out of all the features and functions. Keep this manual safe, as it can be a valuable tool in helping you to understand all the camera capabilities. Regarding copyrights Images taken using the PENTAX Digital Camera that are for anything other than personal enjoyment cannot be used without permission according to the rights as specified in the Copyright Act.
To users of this camera • Do not use or store this device 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 product's internal circuitry and cause camera misoperation. • The liquid crystal panel used in the display is manufactured using extremely high precision technology.
About the Camera Warning • Do not attempt to take the camera apart or remodel the camera. High 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.
Caution • Do not place your finger on the flash when it is discharging as there is a risk of burns. • Do not discharge the flash while it is touching your clothing as there is a risk of discoloring. • If any leakage from the battery should come in contact with your eyes, it may cause a loss of sight. Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical attention immediately. Do not rub them. • If any leakage from the battery should come in contact with skin or clothes, it may cause irritation to the skin.
About the Battery Charger and the AC Adapter Warning • Do not use the product at a voltage other than the specified voltage. Use with a power source or voltage other than that designated can cause a fire or electrical shock. The specified voltage is 100-240V AC. • Do not disassemble or modify the product. This can cause a fire or electrical shock. • If the generation of smoke or strange odor from the product or other abnormality occurs, immediately discontinue using and consult a PENTAX Service Center.
• To reduce the risk of hazards, use only CSA/UL Certified power supply cord set, cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper, one end with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified NEMA configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female connector body (with a specified IEC nonindustrial type configuration) or the equivalent. Care to be Taken During Handling • When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the package.
• 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.

Setting the Exposure Effect of Aperture and Shutter Speed Correct exposure of the subject is determined by the combination of shutter speed and aperture setting.

Effect of Shutter Speed Using slower shutter speed If the subject is moving, the image will be blurred because the shutter is open longer.
Opening the aperture (reduce the aperture value) Objects closer and farther than the focused subject will be more out of focus. For instance, if you take a picture of a flower against a landscape with the aperture open, the landscape in front and behind the flower will be blurred, emphasizing only the flower. 3 Taking Pictures Closing the aperture (increase the aperture value) The range in focus expands forward and backward.
