• Storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled should be
avoided. Remove from case and store in a well-ventilated place to preventthe camera from becoming moldy during storage.
• Do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water or any
other liquid, because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant.
Should the camera get wet from rain, splashing water, or any other liquid,
wipe it off immediately with a dry soft cloth.

(32°F to 104°F).
• The liquid crystal display will become black but will return to normal whennormal temperatures are returned.
• 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 nota fault.
• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintainhigh-performance.

• The time required for full charge is about 100 minutes.
The appropriate ambient temperature range for charging thebattery is 0°C – 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• The charging time may vary depending on the ambient
temperature and charging conditions.
• When the battery reaches the end of its service life, the time thatthe camera can be operated becomes shorter even when thebattery is fully charged. In this event, replace the battery.
• When charging the battery in the camera, another battery can beplaced in the charging stand at the same time. This is useful when you
have spare battery.
When the camera and battery is placed in the charging stand, thecharging indicator (CAMERA) and charging indicator (BATTERY)
light red. When the battery inserted in the camera is fully charged, thecharging of the spare battery starts automatically. When the charging
of the spare battery starts, the charging indicator (CAMERA) turns off
and the charging indicator (BATTERY) lights red.
• You can also remove the battery from the camera and charge itusing the optional D-BC8 battery charger.

16• Approximate Operating Time (when the D-LI8 battery is fully
charged)Number of recordable images: Approx. 100 (at 23°C with the LCD
monitor on and the flash used for 50% ofshots, based on the CIPA standard.)
Playback time:
Approx. 130 min.
(based on PENTAX measuringconditions.)• The above figures may vary according to the conditions in which thecamera is used.

1
Getting Started• Always charge the battery before using the camera for the firsttime or when the battery has not been used for an extended periodof time.
• Do not use the D-BC23 battery charging stand to charge batteries
other than D-LI8 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, as the
charging stand may overheat or be damaged as a result.
• If the battery is inserted correctly but the charging indicator blinks,
the battery may be faulty. Replace with a new battery.

• In general, battery performance temporarily deteriorates as thetemperature decreases. When using the camera in a cold
environment, keep it warm by putting it in your pocket or inside
your coat. Battery performance that has deteriorated due to lowtemperature will be restored when the battery is returned to room
temperature.
• Be sure to take a spare battery with you when traveling abroad or
to a cold region, or if you intend to take a lot of pictures.

• Battery Level Indicator
You can check the battery level by the # symbol on the LCD monitor.

you are recommended to ask your model to stay as still as
possible and to take the second picture as quickly as you can. It iseasier to take the pictures if you use a tripod or appropriate base.
• As a guide, the camera should be moved about 1/40 of the distance
between the camera and the subject. For example, if the subject is
3m away, the distance the camera should be moved will be
3m÷40=7.5cm. However, as the way people see three-dimensional
images differs from person to person, there is no need to be tooconcerned. Refer to the table below for a simple guide to how far
to move the camera.

Viewing 3D Pictures by the Parallel Method and Cross Method
As our eyes are positioned about 6 cm or 7 cm apart, there is a veryslight deviation between what we see with our right eye and what we seewith our left eye. The difference is processed by our brain to produce athree-dimensional image. This principle is applied to taking and viewing
3D pictures.
3D pictures can be viewed by the parallel method where the left and rightlines of vision are virtually parallel, as when looking at a distant scene,or the cross method where the left and right lines of vision are crossed,
as when you cross your eyes. A certain amount of practice may benecessary to view 3D pictures without using the viewer.
How to Assemble the 3D Image Viewer
Assemble the 3D image viewer (optional) as shown below.

4
Taking Pictures63How to View 3D Pictures Using the 3D Image Viewer
Print out the pictures so that they are about 11 cm or 12 cm wide andplace the divider of the 3D image viewer in the middle of the two.

4
Taking Pictures

As the distance between the left and right eyes differs from person
to person, some people may have difficulty obtaining a threedimensional effect even when looking at prints that are the same
size. It may be especially difficult if the pictures are very large or verysmall. Try different sizes until the right effect is achieved.
• Never look at the sun through the 3D image viewer.
• Do not leave the 3D image viewer where it is exposed to direct
sunlight as this may lead to fire.
