Slide the battery/card cover in the direction 1. The cover will automatically
open in the direction 2 when you release your fingers from it.

• AA alkaline, AA lithium and AA nickel manganese batteries are notrechargeable.
• Do not open the battery/card cover or remove the batteries while
the camera is turned on.
• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries.
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
the camera for the first time; however this is not a malfunction. Turnthe camera off, wait a minute and then turn the camera on again toreset the 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 lookdirty, wipe them before inserting into the camera.
19• Use the AC adapter kit K-AC62 (optional) if you intend to use thecamera for a long time. (p.21)

1• Image Storage Capacity and Playback Time(at 23°C with the display on and fresh AA alkaline batteries inserted)

Getting Started

Image Storage Capacity*1
Approx. 200 pictures

Playback Time*2
Approx. 280 min.

*1: Recording capacity shows approximate number of shots recorded during
CIPA-compliant testing (with the display on, flash used for 50% of the shots,and 23°C). Actual performance may vary according to operating conditions.
*2: According to the result of in-house testing.

• 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 thathas deteriorated due to cold temperature will return to normal
performance when the batteries reach room temperature.
• Due to their characteristics, AA alkaline batteries and nickel manganesebatteries may not allow the camera to make full use of its capabilities
when used at cold temperatures. Use of AA lithium or AA Ni-MH
batteries is recommended when the camera is used at cold
temperatures.
• Be sure to take spare batteries 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 w indicator on the display.

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 and sound files are saved on the SD Memory Card if a card isinserted in the camera. They are saved in the built-in memory if a card is
not inserted.
• Be sure to use this camera to format an SD Memory Card that isunused or has been used on another camera. Refer to “Formatting
an SD Memory Card” (p.140) 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 capacityof the SD Memory Card and the selected number of recorded pixels
and quality level. (p.167)

24Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card

1
Getting Started• The SD Memory Card is equipped with awrite-protect switch. Setting the switch to
LOCK protects the existing data byprohibiting recording of new data, deletionof existing data or formatting of the card. Write-protect switch
r appears on the display when the card iswrite-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 data is being
saved to the card, images or sound files are being played back, or the camera
is connected to a computer with the USB/AV cable, as this may cause thedata 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
the card 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 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 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.140)• Please note that formatting the SD Memory Card will not necessarily delete
the data 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 will completely delete the data. If you are going to discard, giveaway or sell your SD Memory Card, you should ensure that the data on thecard is completely deleted or 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.
