Frequently Asked Questions - KM+KC+18/55+50/200 PENTAX

What types of batteries can I use with the PENTAX K-m?

You can use lithium AA, rechargeable Ni-MH AA, or alkaline AA batteries. Lithium batteries are supplied with the camera and recommended for cold weather.

How do I change the lens on the K-m?

Turn off the camera. Press the lens unlock button on the body, turn the lens counterclockwise to remove it. To attach a new lens, align the red dot on the lens with the one on the body, then turn clockwise until it clicks.

How do I activate the built-in flash?

Press the UP button on top of the camera to raise the flash. You can then select the flash mode using the navigation button (right arrow) in shooting mode. The flash retracts manually by pressing it down.

How do I clean the sensor of the K-m?

The camera has a Sensor Cleaning function that vibrates the sensor to remove dust. Access it via the [Preferences] menu. You can also use a blower after raising the mirror ([Mirror Up] menu). Avoid direct contact with the sensor.

How do I transfer my photos to a computer?

Use the supplied USB cable I-USB7 to connect the camera to the computer. Set the USB connection mode in the [Preferences] menu (default: Mass Storage). The computer will recognize the camera as an external drive. You can also use an SD card reader.

Is the K-m compatible with older lenses?

Yes, lenses with the aperture ring set to A (auto) are compatible. For lenses without the A position, you must enable the option [19. Use aperture ring] in the custom settings menu. Some functions may be limited.

How do I set the date and time on the K-m?

When first turned on, the [Date Setting] screen appears. Use the navigation keys to set the format, date, and time. You can also modify these settings later in the menu [Preferences 1] > [Change date and time].

What does the battery indicator mean?

The indicator on the screen shows the charge level: solid icon = full batteries, blinking icon = low batteries. When the message "Batteries exhausted" appears, the camera turns off. Replace with four new batteries of the same type.

How do I use the Shake Reduction image stabilizer?

The Shake Reduction (SR) function is enabled by default. It compensates for camera shake by moving the sensor. You can disable it via the [Capture Mode] menu if you use a tripod. An SR indicator appears in the viewfinder when active.

Can I print directly from the camera?

Yes, the K-m supports PictBridge. Connect the camera to a compatible printer via the USB cable, then select images to print from the [Print with PictBridge] menu. You can also set DPOF settings.
