Getting Started2 You can confirm remaining battery level by checking the 
w displayed on 
the status screen.
The image storage capacity (normal recording and flash use 50%) is based on 
measuring conditions in accordance with CIPA standards, while other data is 
based on our measuring conditions. Some deviation from the above figures may 
occur in actual use depending on shooting mode and shooting conditions.

Push the SD Memory Card in once to 
remove.
4Close the card cover (3) and 
then slide it in the direction of the 
arrow (4).
Precautions When Using the SD Memory Card
• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a 
write-protect switch. Setting the switch to 
LOCK prevents new data from being 
recorded on the card, the stored data from 
being deleted, and the card from being 
formatted by the camera or computer.
• The SD Memory Card may be hot when removing the card immediately after 
using the camera.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn off the power while the card is 
being accessed. 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 temperatures.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card while formatting. The card may be 
damaged and become unusable.
• Data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following circumstances. 
We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted if
(1) the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.(3) the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.
(4) the SD Memory Card or the battery is removed while the card is being 
accessed.

Choose the number of recorded pixels (size) and quality level (JPEG data 
compression rate) of pictures according to how you intend to use the 
pictures you have taken.
Pictures with larger recorded pixels or more stars (E) are clearer when 
printed. However, the number of pictures that can be taken (the number of 
pictures that can be recorded on an SD Memory Card) decreases with 
larger file sizes.
The quality of the captured photo or printed picture depends on the quality 
level, exposure control, resolution of the printer and a variety of other 
factors so you do not need to select more than the required number of 
pixels. For example, to print in postcard size, i (1728×1152) is 
adequate. Set the appropriate recorded pixels and quality level depending 
on how the picture will be used.
1 Setting the JPEG Recorded Pixels (p.192)
1 Setting the JPEG Quality Level (p.193)
• If the SD Memory Card is not used for a long time, the data on the card may 
become unreadable. Be sure to regularly make a backup of important data on 
a computer.
• 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 in locations where it may be 
exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
• Format new SD Memory Cards. Also format SD Memory Cards used with other 
cameras.
1 Formatting an SD Memory Card (p.268)
• The data on your SD Memory Card should be managed at your own risk.

Storage Capacity
(When using a 2 GB SD Memory Card)
• The number of storable images may vary depending on the subject, shooting 
conditions, shooting mode and SD Memory Card, etc.
With the W, you can record in the versatile JPEG format or the high 
quality and editable RAW format. For RAW file format, you can select 
PENTAX’s original PEF format or general-purpose DNG (Digital Negative) 
format designed by Adobe Systems. On a 2 GB SD Memory Card, you can 
record up to 98 images in both PEF and DNG formats.

When the number of storable images exceeds 500, captured images are 
divided into folders containing 500 images each. However, in Exposure 
Bracketing, images will be stored in the same folder until shooting is 
completed, even if the number of images exceeds 500.
