• Image Storage Capacity, Recording Time and Playback Time

(at 23°C, LCD monitor on with fully charged D-LI7 battery)

The still picture storage capacity is based on measuring conditions in
accordance with CIPA standards and the movie recording time and playback
time are based on PENTAX measuring conditions. Some deviation from the
above figures may occur in actual use depending on shooting mode and
shooting conditions.

• Battery Level Indicator
You can check the battery level by the # symbol on the LCD monitor.

• Recycling Batteries

This symbol indicates that the battery is recyclable.
Cover the terminals with insulating tape and take the
battery to a store displaying this symbol.

• Insert the battery correctly. If the battery is incorrectly oriented,

malfunction may result.

• Do not open the battery cover or remove the battery when the

camera is turned on.

• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove the

battery to avoid the risk of leakage.

• In general, battery performance temporarily deteriorates as the

temperature decreases. When using the camera in a cold

environment, keep it warm by putting it in your pocket or inside

your coat. Battery performance that has deteriorated due to low

temperature will be restored when the battery is returned to room

temperature.

• Be sure to take a spare battery with you when traveling abroad or

to a cold region, or if you intend to take a lot of pictures.
