A guide indication for each available button/key operation appears as
follows on the display during operation.
A histogram shows the
brightness distribution of an
image. 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.

With this camera, the Face Detection function
is available with all shooting modes.
When the camera detects a person’s face in the
image, the Face Detection function displays a
yellow face detection frame around the face on
the screen display, sets the focus (Face
Detection AF) and compensates the exposure
(Face Detection AE).
If the subject in the face detection frame
moves, the frame also moves and changes its
own size as it tracks the face.
The Face Detection function can detect up to
32 people’s faces. 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.
Refer to “Switching the Face Detection
Function” (p.100) for details.
• When the Face Detection function does not work, Blink Detection also
does not function. Even if the subjects’ faces are detected, Blink
Detection may not function depending on the condition of the detected
faces.

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).

Cautions for c (Time-Lapse Movie), C (Movie) and d (High Speed
Movie) in common
• The flash cannot be used.
• Select the focus mode before recording starts. The focus mode cannot
be changed during recording.
• The focus can be adjusted manually before recording starts if the focus
mode is set to \. The focus cannot be adjusted during recording.
• The monitor display cannot be switched using the 3 button during
movie recording.
• When the mode dial is set to C, the Face Detection function is
automatically set to [On]. If you want to set it to [Smile] or [Off], change
the setting in the [A Rec. Mode] menu before movie recording starts
(p.100).
• When the Face Detection function is set to [Smile] and the focus mode
is set to = or q, movie recording starts automatically when the
camera detects the subject’s smile. However, depending on the
condition of the detected faces, movie recording may not start
automatically, because the Smile Capture function may not work. If
this happens, press the shutter release button to start recording a
movie.

WARRANTY POLICY
All PENTAX cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photographic
distribution channels are guaranteed against defects of material or workmanship
for a period of twelve months from date of purchase. Service will be rendered, and
defective parts will be replaced without cost to you within that period, provided the
equipment does not show evidence of impact, sand or liquid damage,
mishandling, tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, operation contrary to
operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized repair shop. The
manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall not be liable for any repair or
alterations except those made with its written consent and shall not be liable for
damages from delay or loss of use or from other indirect or consequential
damages of any kind, whether caused by defective material or workmanship or
otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the liability of the manufacturer or its
representatives under all guarantees or warranties, whether expressed or
implied, is strictly limited to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore provided. No
refunds will be made on repairs by non-authorized PENTAX service facilities.
Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period
Any PENTAX which proves defective during the 12-month warranty period should
be returned to the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment or to the
manufacturer. If there is no representative of the manufacturer in your country,
send the equipment to the manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In this case, it will
take a considerable length of time before the equipment can be returned to you
owing to the complicated customs procedures required. If the equipment is
covered by warranty, repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and
the equipment will be returned to you upon completion of servicing. If the
equipment is not covered by warranty, regular charges of the manufacturer or of
its representatives will apply. Shipping charges are to be borne by the owner. If
your PENTAX was purchased outside of the country where you wish to have it
serviced during the warranty period, regular handling and servicing fees may be
charged by the manufacturer’s representatives in that country. Notwithstanding
this, your PENTAX returned to the manufacturer will be serviced free of charge
according to this procedure and warranty policy. In any case, however, shipping
charges and customs clearance fees to be borne by the sender. To prove the date
of your purchase when required, please keep the receipt or bills covering the
purchase of your equipment for at least a year. Before sending your equipment
for servicing, please make sure that you are sending it to the manufacturer’s
authorized representatives or their approved repair shops, unless you are
sending it directly to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service
charge, and only after you accept the quoted service charge, instruct the service
station to proceed with the servicing.

Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old Equipment
and Used Batteries
1. In the European Union
These symbols on the products, packaging and/or
accompanying documents mean that used electrical
and electronic equipment and batteries should not be
mixed with general household waste.
Used electrical/electronic equipment and batteries must
be treated separately and in accordance with legislation
that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling of
these products.
By disposing of these products correctly you will help
ensure that the waste undergoes the necessary
treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent
potential negative effects on the environment and
human health which could otherwise arise due to
inappropriate waste handling.
If a chemical symbol is added beneath the symbol shown above, in
accordance with the Battery Directive, this indicates that a heavy metal
(Hg = Mercury, Cd = Cadmium, Pb = Lead) is present in the battery at a
concentration above an applicable threshold specified in the Battery
Directive.
For more information about collection and recycling of used products,
please contact your local authorities, your waste disposal service or the
point of sale where you purchased the products.
2. In other countries outside the EU
These symbols are only valid in the European Union. If you wish to
discard used products, please contact your local authorities or dealer
and ask for the correct method of disposal.
For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic equipment can be returned
free of charge to the dealer, even when you don’t purchase a new
product. Further collection facilities are listed on the home page of
www.swico.ch or www.sens.ch.
