Getting Started• AA alkaline and AA lithium batteries are not rechargeable.
• Do not open the battery/card cover or remove the batteries while thecamera is turned on.
• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove thebatteries. If the batteries are left in the camera for a long time, they
may leak.
• If the batteries have been removed from the camera for a long time,
when they are reinserted and the camera is turned on, the message[Battery depleted] may appear. This can also happen when using thecamera for the first time; however this is not a malfunction. Turn thecamera off, wait a minute and then turn the camera on again to resetthe camera. The date and time may also be reset.
• Insert the batteries correctly. If the batteries are incorrectly oriented,
malfunction may result. If the ends of the batteries look dirty, wipethem before inserting into the camera.
• Be careful as the camera or the batteries may become hot when thecamera is used continuously for a long period of time.

• In general, battery performance may temporarily deteriorate as thetemperature decreases. Be sure to take spare batteries when using
the camera in a cold region and keep the batteries warm by placing
them in your pocket or inside your coat. Battery performance that hasdeteriorated due to cold temperature will return to normal performance
when the batteries reach room temperature.
• Due to their characteristics, AA alkaline batteries may not allow thecamera to make full use of its capabilities when used at cold
temperatures. Use of AA lithium or AA Ni-MH batteries isrecommended when the camera is used at cold temperatures.
• Be sure to take spare batteries with you when traveling abroad or to acold region, or if you intend to take a lot of pictures.

Installing the SD Memory Card

1
Getting Started

This camera uses either an SD Memory Card or an SDHC Memory Card.
(Both cards are referred to as SD Memory Cards hereafter.) Captured
images are saved on the SD Memory Card if a card is inserted in thecamera. They are saved in the built-in memory if a card is not inserted(p.36).
• Be sure to use this camera to format (initialize) an SD Memory
Card that is unused or has been used on other cameras or digital
devices. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card” (p.156) for
instructions on formatting.
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing
the SD Memory Card.
• The still picture storage capacity varies depending on the capacity of
the SD Memory Card and the selected number of recorded pixels(p.35).
• The self-timer lamp blinks while the SD Memory Card is being
accessed (data is being recorded or read).

Backing Up Data
The camera may not be able to access data in the built-in memory in the caseof a malfunction. Use a computer or other device to back up important data inanother location.

Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card

1
Getting Started
34• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a writeprotect switch. Setting the switch to LOCK
prevents new data from being recorded on thecard, the stored data from being deleted, andthe card from being formatted by the camera or
Write-protect
computer.
r appears on the display when the card is
switchwrite-protected.
• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately afterusing the camera, as the card may be hot.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the camera off while images arebeing played back or saved to the card, or the camera is connected to acomputer with the USB cable, as this may cause the data to be lost or thecard to be damaged.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it awayfrom water and store away from high temperature.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage thecard and render it unusable.
• The data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following
circumstances. We do 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 electricalinterference.
(3) when the card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the card is ejected or the batteries are 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 computer.
• Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity orelectrical 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 thememory, or shooting and playback may take a long time.
• For information on compatible SD Memory Cards, visit the PENTAX website.
• Be sure to format an SD Memory Card that is unused or has been used onanother camera. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card” (p.156).
• Please note that formatting the SD Memory Card will not necessarily delete thedata 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 willcompletely delete the data. 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 deletedor the card itself is destroyed if it contains any personal or sensitive information. In
any case, the data on your SD Memory Card should be managed at your own risk.

About the red-eye phenomenon
Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject’s eyes to appear red in
the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash isreflected in the subject’s eyes. It can be reduced by illuminating the area aroundthe subject or moving closer to the subject and zooming out to a wider angle.
Setting the flash mode to d (Flash On + Red-eye) is also an effective way of
reducing red eyes.
If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be correctedby the red-eye compensation function (p.140).

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

If theequipment 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 becharged 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 dateof your purchase when required, please keep the receipt or bills covering thepurchase 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
