PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY USAGE
Misuse of the battery can cause hazards such as leakage, overheating, explosion, etc. The battery should be inserted correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -) marked on the battery and the camera. Battery performance may be temporarily hindered in low temperatures, but will recover in normal temperatures. Keep a spare battery on hand for replacement convenience when shooting outdoors or while traveling. If the built-in flash is used continuously, the battery may become warm, but it does not mean that the battery is faulty; it is one of the battery's characteristics. Replace the batteries at the same time. Do not mix battery brands, type or an old battery with a new one. It may cause explosion or overheating.

Handling the Camera

Always confirm that the camera is working properly when the camera has not been used for a long time, or before important occasions (weddings, trips, etc.). PENTAX is not responsible for consequential damages (costs incurred for photography, lost profits, etc.) arising from failure of this product. Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol, or benzene. Do not subject to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high. Do not store the camera with preservatives and chemicals. Storage in high temperatures and high humidity can cause molding. Remove from case and store in a dry and well-ventilated location. This camera is not waterproof, and cannot be used in the rain or where the camera could get wet. Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles, or ships. The temperature range for camera use is 0C to 40C. The LCD display may appear black under high temperatures, but will return to normal as temperatures normalize. The LCD display may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due to liquid crystal properties, and is not a fault. Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain high performance. Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, retrieving the camera after decreasing the temperature difference. Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts. These could cause a camera breakdown. Wipe dry any rain or water drops on the camera. Use a blower or lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens or viewfinder. Never use a spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens or viewfinder screen. See Precautions When Using a CF Card (p.151) for details on the compact flash memory card (CF Card). Please do not press forcefully on the LCD monitor. This could cause breakage or malfunction.

Red-eye Reduction

This camera has a red-eye reduction function, which reduces red-eye by discharging the flash twice. When > is displayed on the LCD panel, the pre-flash is discharged just before the shutter is released. This reduces the pupil diameter. Then the main flash is discharged while the pupils are smaller, reducing the red-eye effect.
If red-eye reduction is used when the AF360FGZ or AF500FTZ, etc. is set as a slave unit or wireless, the preflash for red-eye reduction will trigger the external flash to fire. Do not use red-eye reduction when using a slave unit. The red-eye reduction feature works even when only an external flash is used. See page 97.

About Red-eye Phenomenon

Shooting portraits with a flash in a dark environment often results in eyes looking reddish in the photograph. This phenomenon, commonly known as Red-Eye, is caused by the reflection of the electronic flash in the retina of the eye. It can be reduced by taking a picture in brighter light or by shooting with a wider-angle lens at a closer distance. When using an external flash, it may also help to position the flash as far away from the camera as possible.
Flash photography distance
As a rule of thumb, the distance for using the built-in flash (which varies with the lens used) is within about four meters of the subject. (With sensitivity 400)
The flash effective range does not come closer than 0.7m (2.6ft), even if the lens aperture is very small. The exposure will not be properly controlled when taking a picture closer than 0.7m. Note that this can also cause and you will see vignetting in the picture corners. To calculate the flash photography distance from the aperture size, see p.139.
Flash Recommended indicator
The flash recommended indicator [b] in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel will blink to recommend that you use the flash when you attempt to take a picture in low light and backlight condition.

b will blink only in backlit conditions when the capture mode is set to b (shutter priority) mode or a (manual exposure) mode. b stops blinking when the flash is fully charged. b will not appear in Bulb mode.

Daylight-Sync Shooting

In daylight conditions, the flash will eliminate the shadow when a portrait picture is taken with a persons face cast in shadow. Daylight-sync shooting is the same as normal shooting with a flash.

Taking pictures

Press the flash pop-up button. Confirm that the flash mode is set to Flash ON. Confirm that the flash is fully charged. Take the picture.
It may be over-exposed when the background is too bright. Press the flash button and turn off 3 on the LCD panel when shooting with daylight-sync. The flash may not discharge when taking a daylight-sync photograph with 3 displayed on the LCD panel (3 on the LCD panel cannot be turned off in the green program AE mode.)

Without Daylight-Sync

With Daylight-Sync
Using the flash in each capture mode
Using b (Shutter priority) Mode
When taking a moving subject, you can use the flash to change the blur effect. Any desired shutter speed 1/150 sec. or slower can be set for taking a flash photograph. The aperture automatically changes according to the ambient brightness.
Using Av (Aperture-priority) Mode
You can set the desired aperture to take a flash photograph when you want to change the depth of field or shoot any far away subject. The shutter speed automatically changes with the ambient brightness. The shutter speed shifts automatically anywhere from 1/150 sec. to a slow shutter speed that does not cause camera shake. The slowest shutter speed depends on the focal length of the lens in use. The shutter speed is fixed at 1/150 sec when any lens other than FA J, FA or F is used. 4

Slow-Speed-Sync Mode

It is possible to balance the exposure of a foreground subject in a low light background by using the flash to properly expose the foreground subject and a slow-shutter-speed to expose the low light background. Using M (Hyper manual exposure) Mode 1 Set the exposure mode to a(Hyper manual exposure) mode 2 Set the shutter speed (under 1/150 sec) and aperture value to obtain correct exposure. 3 Press the flash pop-up button to activate the flash. 4 Take the picture.
The flash can be raised at any time before taking the picture in Hyper manual exposure mode.
Using b (Shutter priority) Mode Set the exposure mode to b (shutter priority) mode. Use the Tv dial to set the desired shutter speed. Press the flash pop-up button to activate the built-in flash. Take the picture.
If the aperture value blinks when the shutter speed is set, the background will not be exposed correctly.Adjust the shutter speed so that the aperture value stops blinking. If the flash is popped up before setting the shutter speed, the background will not be exposed correctly. The picture will be blurred when the subject is not stop moving, use of a tripod is recommended to prevent camera shake. You can use slow-speed-sync shooting by performing the same operation in Hyper program b (shutter priority) mode. Slow-speed-sync shooting can also be performed with an external flash.

Using an External Flash

Using the optional external flash AF360FGZ enables a variety of flash modes, such as P-TTL automatic flash mode, TTL auto-flash mode, highspeed flash sync mode, and wireless mode. Available functions differ by the external flash being used. See the chart below for details.

Using P-TTL Auto Mode

Use this flash mode with the AF360FGZ flash unit. P-TTL auto flash, which pre-fires the flash using the 16-segment metering allows more precise control. P-TTL auto is available in wireless flash mode. 1 Remove the hot shoe cover and attach the flash unit. 2 Turn the external flash ON. 3 Set the flash unit mode switch to P-TTL auto. 4 Confirm that the flash is fully charged and then take the picture.
P-TTL auto is available with the AF360FGZ flash unit only. The mode will be TTL auto when using a flash other than the AF360FGZ. The b will light in the viewfinder when the flash is fully charged. For details such as operation method and effective distance, please read the external flash manual. The external flash discharges automatically when 3 is lit in on the LCD panel. The flash does not discharge when the subject is bright enough, (therefore, it may not suitable for daylight-sync shooting). Never press the flash pop up button when any external flash unit is attached to the camera. The built-in flash will hit the external flash. If you want to use both at once, see page 97 for the connection method.

For contrast control synch flash photography when using two external flashes, the flash set as the contrast control flash is flash 2, and the other external flash is flash 1. When using an external flash with the built-in flash, the built-in flash is flash 1, and the external flash is flash 2. Do not combine an accessory with a different number of contacts such as a Hot Shoe Grip, as a malfunction may occur. The fastest flash synchronization speed is 1/60 second in the ContrastControl-Synch mode. Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause equipment breakdown. We recommend using the PENTAX dedicated automatic flashes.
