Using the Histogram

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.

Number of pixels

Setting the Exposure (EV Compensation) ☐p.110

Understanding Brightness

If the brightness is correct, the graph peaks in the middle. If the image is too dark, the peak is on the left side, and if it is too bright, the peak is on the right side.

Dark image Correct image Bright image

Abstract white silhouette on gray background, no text or symbols present

Abstract white silhouette on gray background, no text or symbols present

When the image is too dark, the part to the left is cut off (dark portions) and when the image is too bright, the part to the right is cut off (bright portions).

Understanding Contrast

The graph peaks gradually for images in which contrast is balanced. The graph peaks on both sides but sinks in the middle for images with a large difference in contrast and low amounts of mid-level brightness.

Taking Still Pictures

Taking Pictures

This camera features a wide range of shooting modes and functions to suit almost any subject or scene. This chapter describes how to take pictures with the most commonly used standard settings (the factory default settings).

1 Press the power switch.

The camera turns on and is ready to take still pictures. In this manual, this is called "still picture capture mode".

2 Confirm the subject and shooting information on the display.

The focus frame in the middle of the display indicates the zone of automatic focusing.

4 Press the shutter release button fully.

The picture is taken.

The flash discharges automatically depending on the light conditions. The captured image appears on the display (Instant Review: p.69) and is saved to the SD Memory Card or the built-in memory.

Press the Green button to switch to the ● (Green) mode and let the camera set all the shooting functions automatically (p.76).

Using the Shutter Release Button

The shutter release button works in a two-step action as follows.

Press halfway

This refers to pressing the shutter release button gently to the first position. This locks the focus setting and the exposure. The green focus frame lights on the display when the shutter release button is pressed halfway and the subject is in focus. If the subject is out of focus, the frame turns white.

Press fully

This refers to pressing the shutter release button all the way down to the fully depressed position. This takes a picture.

Poor focusing conditions

The camera may not be able to focus under the following conditions. In these cases, lock the focus on an object the same distance away as the subject (by pressing and holding the shutter release button halfway), then aim the camera at your subject and press the shutter release button fully.

• Objects that lack contrast such as a blue sky or white wall
• Dark places or objects, or conditions that prevent light being reflected back
• Intricate patterns
• Fast moving objects
• When there is an object in the foreground and an object in the background in the captured area
  • Strongly reflected light or strong backlighting (bright background)

Instant Review and Blink Detection

The image appears on the display immediately after it is captured (Instant Review). If the camera detects that the subject's eyes are closed while the Face Detection function (p.72) is activated, the message [Closed eyes have been detected] appears for 3 seconds (Blink Detection).

• 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.
• You can also disable the Blink Detection function (p.117).

Setting the Shooting Mode

This camera has a variety of shooting modes that let you take pictures or record movies in different situations simply by choosing the appropriate mode for the particular situation from the Capture Mode Palette.

Using the Face Detection Function

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 display screen, 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).

• Face Detection AF and AE may not work if the subject is wearing sunglasses, has part of their face covered or is not looking toward the camera.
• If the camera cannot detect the subject's face, the camera focuses using the setting currently selected in [Focusing Area].
• When the Smile Capture function is activated, the shutter may not be released automatically because the Smile Capture function may not work in some situations, such as when the detected face is too small.
• When a pet is detected in AUTO (Auto Picture) or 🎨 (Pet) mode, a light blue pet detection frame appears, and the shutter is automatically released.

To Switch the Face Detection Function

By default, the Face Detection function is set to Face Detection On. You can switch to the Smile Capture function, which automatically releases

the shutter when the subject smiles. The Face Detection function is switched as follows each time the 😊 button is pressed: Smile Capture → Face Detection Off → Face Detection On

An icon indicating either Face Detection On or Smile Capture appears on the display. (The icon does not appear when the Face Detection function is not activated.)

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 illuminating the area around the subject or moving closer to the subject and zooming out to a wider angle. Setting the flash mode to ⓄA or Ⓞi 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 compensation function (p.168).

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.

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.
