Images taken with this camera that are for anything otherthan personal enjoyment cannot be used without permission
according to the rights as specified in the Copyright Act.
Please take care, as there are cases where limitations areplaced on taking images even for personal enjoyment during
demonstrations, performances or of items on display.
Images taken with the purpose of obtaining copyrights also
cannot be used outside the scope of use of the copyright aslaid out in the Copyright Act, and care should be taken here
also.

• Do not use or store this camera in the vicinity of equipmentthat generates strong electromagnetic radiation ormagnetic fields. Strong static charges or the magnetic

not light up or may light up when they should not.
However, this has no effect on the recorded image.
• The Shake Reduction (SR) mechanism of this camera
uses the PENTAX original technology and moves theimage sensor to an appropriate position at high speed witha magnetic force, which reduces image blurring caused bycamera motion. A rattling sound is made when the camera
is shaken, for example, by changing its orientation, but thisis not a malfunction.
• In this manual, the generic term “computer(s)” refers toeither a Windows® PC or a Mac.
• In this manual, the term “battery(ies)” refers to any type ofbatteries used for this camera and its accessories.

before shooting because the aperture is always narrowed
down.
• When a lens with automatic diaphragm is attached, theaperture is narrowed down immediately before the shutter
is released, causing a time lag in the shutter release.

Appendix120• Flashes with the reversed polarity (the center contact on the
hot shoe is minus) cannot be used due to the risk of damaging
the camera and flash.
• Do not combine with accessories that have a different
number of contacts, such as Hot Shoe Grip, as a malfunction
may occur.
• Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause
equipment breakdown.

t Memo• With the AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or
AF360FGZ II, you can use the high-speed sync flash todischarge a flash and take an image at a shutter speed fasterthan 1/200 seconds. Set the exposure mode to I, K, orL.
• By using two or more external flashes (AF540FGZ,
AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or AF360FGZ II), you can use thewireless mode to shoot in the P-TTL flash mode without
connecting the flash units with a cord. In this case, set thecamera channel on the external flashes.
• You can set the flash sync speed in [X Mode Sync Speed] of
the E5 menu.

When an image is taken while the GPS is on, the GPS
information is saved internally in the image file. The GPS
information is not saved in the movie file. You can check the
GPS information in “Detailed Information Display” in the
playback mode. (p.15)

By matching the movement of the Shake Reduction unit built in
the camera with the movement of celestial bodies, celestialbodies can be captured as individual points even when shootingwith a long exposure setting.

t Memo• Refer to the manual of the GPS unit for details on how to
attach the unit and information on the unit’s functions.
• Perform a calibration with the GPS unit before shooting using[Calibration] in [GPS Settings] of the D4 menu to obtain the

Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Using Your Camera• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is stillworking properly, particularly prior to taking important images (such as
at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be
guaranteed if recording, playback, or transferring your data to acomputer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera orrecording media (memory cards), etc.

About the Battery and Charger

Cleaning Your Camera• Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol,and benzine.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on a lens. Never use aspray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
• Please contact your nearest service center for professional cleaning of

Storing Your Camera

Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera

About SD Memory Cards• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do notleave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Usea cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles,
automobiles, or ships.
• The temperature range for camera use is -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
• The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return tonormal at normal temperatures.
• The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due
to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.
• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside andoutside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag,and remove it after temperatures of the camera and surroundings areequalized.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt.
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry
off any rain or water drops.
• Do not press on the monitor with excessive force. This could cause it to
break or malfunction.
• Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when usinga tripod.

• The SD Memory Card isequipped with a write-protect
switch. Setting the switch to
LOCK prevents new data frombeing recorded on the card, thestored data from being deleted,and the card from being
Write-protect
formatted by the camera or
switchcomputer.
• The SD Memory Card may be
hot when removing the card immediately after using the camera.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn off the power while the cardis being accessed. This may cause the data to be lost or the card to bedamaged.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep itaway from water and store away from high temperatures.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card while formatting. The card may bedamaged and become unusable.
• Data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following
circumstances. We do 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 electricalinterference;
3. the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time;

7
Appendix• To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully
charged state or in high temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time,
the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use isrecommended.

• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in hightemperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera.
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated
place.
• Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static
electricity or electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or in locations where
it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.

135

4. the SD Memory Card or the battery is removed while the card is being
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 ofimportant data on a computer.
• Format new SD Memory Cards. Also format SD Memory Cards
previously used with other cameras.
• Please note that deleting data stored on an SD Memory Card, orformatting an SD Memory Card does not completely erase the originaldata. Deleted data can sometimes be recovered using commerciallyavailable software. If you are going to discard, give away, or sell your SD

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
FCC CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate theequipment.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any healthproblems are associated with using low power wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that these low power wirelessdevices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit
low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave
range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that
does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have notfound any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that

Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada(ISED) Regulatory Compliance Notice

Pour les utilisateurs au Canada
Avis de conformité à la réglementation d’Innovation,
Sciences et Développement économique Canada (ISDE)This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES003 (B).

Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme
NMB-003 (B) du Canada.

This device contains licence-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s)that comply with Innovation, Science and Economic
Development Canada’s licence-exempt RSS(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference, includinginterference that may cause undesired operation of thedevice.

L’émetteur/récepteur exempt de licence contenu dans leprésent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Innovation, Scienceset Développement économique Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée
aux deux conditions suivantes :1. L’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage ;2. L’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre lefonctionnement.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any healthproblems are associated with using low power wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that these low power wirelessdevices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit
low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave
range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that
does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have notfound any biological effects. Some studies have suggested thatsome biological effects might occur, but such findings have notbeen confirmed by additional research. The R03010 has beentested and found to comply with ISED radiation exposure limits
set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102
of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

Les connaissances scientifiques dont nous disposons n’ont mis
en évidence aucun problème de santé associé à l’usage desappareils sans fil à faible puissance. Nous ne sommes
cependant pas en mesure de prouver que ces appareils sans fil
à faible puissance sont entièrement sans danger. Les appareilssans fil à faible puissance émettent une énergie fréquence
radioélectrique (RF) très faible dans le spectre des micro-ondes
lorsqu’ils sont utilisés. Alors qu’une dose élevée de RF peut
avoir des effets sur la santé (en chauffant les tissus),
l’exposition à de faibles RF qui ne produisent pas de chaleur n’apas de mauvais effets connus sur la santé. De nombreusesétudes ont été menées sur les expositions aux RF faibles etn’ont découvert aucun effet biologique. Certaines études ont
suggéré qu’il pouvait y avoir certains effets biologiques, maisces résultats n’ont pas été confirmés par des recherches
supplémentaires. Le R03010 a été testé et jugé conforme aux
limites d’exposition aux rayonnements ISDE énoncées pour unenvironnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles d’exposition
aux fréquences radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’ISDE.
