electric shock. • If the generation of smoke or strange odor from the AC adapter or other abnormality occurs, immediately discontinue use and consult a PENTAX Service Center. Continuing to use the adapter can cause a fire or electric shock. • If water should happen to get inside the AC adapter, consult a PENTAX Service Center. Continuing to use the adapter can cause a fire or electric shock. • If you see a lightning flash or hear thunder during use of the AC adapter, unplug the power plug and discontinue use. Continuing to use the adapter can cause damage to the equipment, fire, or electric shock. • Wipe off the plug of the AC adapter if it becomes covered with dust. Accumulated dust on the plug may cause a fire. Caution • Do not place or drop heavy objects on or forcefully bend the AC plug cord. Doing so may damage the cord. Should the cord be damaged, consult a PENTAX Service Center. • Do not touch or short-circuit the terminal area of the AC plug cord while the cord is plugged in. • Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. This can cause an electric shock. • Do not drop the AC adapter, or subject it to violent impact. This can cause equipment breakdown. • To reduce the risk of hazards, use only a CSA/UL certified power supply cord set, cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper, one end with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified NEMA configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female connector body (with a specified IEC non-industrial type configuration) or the equivalent.

The batteries could explode or catch fire. AA batteries for use with this camera other than Ni-MH batteries cannot be charged. • Do not disassemble the battery. Disassembling the battery may cause an explosion or leakage. • When replacing the batteries, do not combine different brands, types or capacities. Also, do not combine old batteries with new ones. Inserting the batteries incorrectly may cause an explosion or fire. • The batteries should be inserted correctly, observing (+) and (-) marks on the batteries. Inserting the batteries incorrectly may cause an explosion or fire. • Remove the batteries from the camera immediately if they become hot or begin to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal. • Do not short the batteries or dispose of the batteries in fire. This can cause an explosion or fire. • If any leakage from the batteries should come in contact with skin or clothing, wash the affected areas thoroughly with water.

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 before and after shooting tells you whether the brightness and contrast are correct or not, and lets you decide if you need to adjust the exposure and take a picture again. Understanding Brightness If the brightness is correct, the graph peaks in the middle. If the image is underexposed, the peak is on the left side, and if it is overexposed, the peak is on the right side.

Actual performance may vary according to operating conditions. • AA alkaline and AA lithium batteries are not rechargeable. • 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. Turn the camera off, wait a minute and then turn the camera on again. The date and time may be reset by this operation. • Insert the batteries correctly. If the batteries are incorrectly oriented, malfunction may result. Wipe the end of the batteries before inserting into the camera. • Be careful as the camera or the batteries may become hot when the camera is used continuously for a long period of time. Use the AC adapter kit K-AC129 (optional) if you intend to use the camera for a long time (p.32).

Use of the AC adapter kit K-AC129* (optional) with a household power supply is recommended if you intend to use the camera for a long time or connect it to a computer. * The AC adapter kit K-AC129 is a set of the AC adapter D-AC115 and the AC plug cord. • In general, battery performance may temporarily deteriorate as the temperature 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 that has deteriorated due to cold temperature will return to normal performance at normal temperatures. • Due to their attributes, AA alkaline batteries 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.

If it detects multiple faces, the camera displays a yellow frame over the main face and white frame(s) over the other face(s). It can display up to a total of 31 frames including a main frame and white frame(s). The default setting is [On]. You can switch to the Smile Capture function that automatically releases the shutter when the subject smiles.

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 is reflected in the subject’s eyes. It can be reduced by increasing the illumination in the area around the subject and/or decreasing the subject distance and adjusting the lens to wider angle setting. Setting the flash mode to c, d or H is also an effective way of reducing red eyes. If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be corrected by the Red-eye Edit function (p.149).
