Using the Histogram
Number of pixels→

A histogram shows thebrightness distribution of animage. The horizontal axis
represents brightness (dark at
the left and bright at the right)
and the vertical axis represents
the number of pixels.
The shape of the histogram(Dark) ←Brightness→ (Bright)
before and after shooting tells
Dark portions
Bright portions
you whether the brightness andcontrast are correct or not, and lets you decide if you need to use EV
compensation and take the picture again.
Setting the Exposure (EV Compensation) 1p.97

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

23

When the image is too dark, the part to the left is cut off (dark portions)and when the image is too bright, the part to the right is cut off (bright
portions).
Understanding Bright and Dark Portions
When there is an area in the frame that is so bright it appears white, theindicated area blinks red as a warning. Similarly, when there is an areathat is so dark it appears black, the indicated area blinks yellow as awarning.
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.

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 orsound files are being played back or saved to the card, or the camera isconnected to a computer with the USB cable, as this may cause the data to
be lost or the card 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 battery is removed while the data on thecard 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 or the Built-in
Memory” (p.174).
• 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 c (Auto + Red-eye) or 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.150).
