To users of this camera

Regarding copyrights
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 pictures even for personal enjoyment
during demonstrations, performances or of items on display.
Images taken with the purpose of obtaining copyrights
cannot also be used outside the scope of use of the
copyright as laid out in the Copyright Act, and care should betaken here also.

8• Do not use or store this camera in the vicinity of equipmentthat generates strong electromagnetic radiation ormagnetic 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.

manufactured using extremely high precision technology.
Although the level of functioning pixels is 99.99% or better,
you should be aware that 0.01% or fewer of the pixels may
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 Macintosh.
• In this manual, the term “battery(ies)” refers to any type ofbatteries used for this camera and its accessories.

For customers in Canada
Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Notice

Pour les utilisateurs au Canada
Industrie Canada (IC) Avis de ConformitéThis 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 complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and(2) this device must accept any interference, includinginterference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie 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, et(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’encompromettre le fonctionnement.
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 KP a été testé et jugé conforme aux limites
d’exposition aux rayonnements IC énoncées pour unenvironnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles d’exposition
aux fréquences radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC.

7
Appendix

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 KP has been tested
and found to comply with IC radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC
radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
