Precautions When Using the Battery Charging Stand or AC Adapter To avoid the risk of fire or electric shock when using the battery charging stand or AC adapter, be sure to read the section on FOR SAFE USE OF YOUR CAMERA on page 1. Refer to page 166 for the specifications of the battery charging stand and AC adapter.
Installing the SD Memory Card

SD Memory Card

To remove the card, push in and pull out
An SD Memory Card can be used with this camera. Captured images and recorded sounds are recorded on the SD Memory Card.
Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing the SD Memory Card. Do not use a new SD memory card or one used with another camera without formatting it with your camera before use. Refer to Formatting an SD Memory Card (p.142) for instructions on formatting.
Insert an SD Memory Card so the label (the side with the 2 symbol) is facing toward the LCD monitor and push the card in until it clicks. Close the battery/card cover.
To remove the card, eject the card by pressing it in the direction indicated by the arrow and pull it out. The number of recordable images varies depending on the capacity of the SD Memory Card or built-in memory and the selected image size and quality. (1p.23)
Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card
Make sure that the camera is turned off before opening the battery/card cover. The SD Memory Card is equipped with a write-protect switch. Write-protect switch Setting the switch to [LOCK] protects the existing data by prohibiting recording of new data, deletion of existing data or formatting of the card. Care should be taken if you remove the SD Memory Card immediately after using the camera, as the card may be hot. Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the camera off while data is being recorded on the card, images or sound are being played back, or the camera is connected to a PC with the USB cable as this may cause the data to be lost or the card to be damaged. Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it away from water and store away from high temperature. Be sure to format unused cards or cards that have been used on another camera. Refer to Formatting an SD Memory Card (p.142) for instructions on formatting. 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. PENTAX does 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 electrical interference. (3) when the card has not been used for an extended period of time. (4) when the card is ejected, the AC adapter is disconnected or the battery is removed while the data on the card is being recorded or accessed. The SD Memory Card has a limited service life. If it is not used for an extended period of time, the data on the card may become unreadable. Be sure to make a backup of important data on a PC. Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity or electrical 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 the memory, or shooting and playback may take a long time. When you purchase the SD Memory Cards, access the PENTAX website and confirm beforehand if they have compatibility with your camera. Inquiries on the card compatibility can also be answered by your nearest PENTAX service center.
