FOR SAFE USE OF YOUR LENS 1

WARNING

•Never look at the sun through the lens or camera. Serious damage to the retina, or

total loss of eyesight may occur.

CAUTION

•Do not leave the lens in direct sunlight without lens caps. Direct sunlight passing

through the lens will be intensified, and should it focus on flammable materials,

fire may occur.

PRECAUTIONS AND LENS MAINTENANCE

1.Storage and mildew prevention

•Take the lens out of the protective case or camera bag, and store it in a dry, well-ventilated place.

•Avoid storing the lens in a poorly ventilated location such as a closet, wardrobe, drawer, vehicle,

or where insect repellent or medicine is kept.

•Avoid storing the lens in areas of high temperature and humidity, where there is a risk of mildew

growth.

Store the lens with a desiccant in a dry cabinet, airtight container, or plastic bag. (Leaving a sat-

urated desiccant in the storage container can cause damage to the lens. Be sure to read the

instructions that came with the desiccant before use.)

2.The lens is not waterproof. When using the lens in a rain or mist, be careful not to allow it to get

wet.

3.Never use any organic solvent such as thinner, alcohol, or benzine, etc. to remove dust on the

lens.

4.The lens is a precise optical instrument. Be careful not to let it fall, or subject it to strong shocks

or pressure. Use a cushion or similar pad to protect the lens from the vibrations of motorcycles or

other vehicles, boats, etc.

5.Avoid subjecting the lens to rapid changes in temperature, otherwise condensation can occur on

both the inside and the outside of the lens. Put the lens in a plastic bag or camera bag, and take

it out after the lens has reached ambient temperature.

6.When the lens is not attached to the camera body, attach both the supplied lens cap and lens

mount cap to protect it from dust.

7.Do not leave the camera with the lens cap off attached to a tripod or other rigid camera support.

The inner parts of the camera can be damaged by direct sunlight.

8.Have the lens inspected by a dealer every one or two years to maintain its high performance.

cally as if set to the auto "A" position, so accessories without an auto "A" setting cannot

be used with this lens.

About the DA lens mount

The DA lens is an interchangeable lens

specifically designed for the PENTAX

digital SLR camera.

The KAF -mount of the DA lens is similar to

conventional SLR lenses, but the DA lens

cannot be used on 35 mm SLR cameras.

CAUTION :

•Be careful not to damage or dirty the lens information contacts and AF coupler on the

mount surfaces of the camera and lens. Otherwise, failure or malfunction may result.

If this occurs, wipe them gently with a clean, dry cloth.

ZOOMING 7

The DA 16-45 mm f/4ED AL lens has a two-ring system, where the focusing ring and the

zooming ring are separate. You can set the desired focal length by turning the zoom ring.

✍Memo :

•The focusing point may shift slightly by changing the focal length. First adjust the zoom

and then adjust focus using Autofocus or the focus indicator in the viewfinder.

About the zoom ring

Turn the zoom ring clockwise for telephoto and counterclockwise for wide-angle.

DAE_BodyA 12/2/03 3:44 PM Page 7

FOCUSING

Autofocus mode

Set the focus mode lever on the camera to AF.S (single mode) or AF.C (continuous mode),

and press the shutter release button halfway down to start the autofocus operation.

✍Memo :

•During autofocus, do not touch the focusing ring of the DA 16-45 mm f/4ED AL lens, otherwise

you will interfere with proper lens movement and damage the DA lens.

Manual focus mode

Set the focus mode lever on the camera to MF (manual focus mode), then focus by turning

ring and checking the focus indicator in the viewfinder.

✍Memo :

•It is possible to focus manually without changing the focus mode to MF after adjusting the focus

on the subject in the AF.S mode. (☞p9 Quick-shift focus system)

DAE_BodyA 12/2/03 3:44 PM Page 8

Quick-shift focus system

After adjusting the focus on the subject in the AF.S mode, the focusing ring can be turned

to focus manually without changing the focus mode to MF.

✍Memo :

•Do not take your finger off the shutter release button or AF button when focusing

manually in the AF.S mode. If you take your finger off the button and then focus

manually, autofocus will operate to adjust focus again when you press the shutter release

button.

•It is possible to focus manually in AF.S or AF.C mode and release the shutter without

activating the autofocus by setting the "AF with Press Halfway" custom function to "Off."

Press the AF button to use autofocus when "AF with Press Halfway" is set to "Off."

Precautions on close-distance scale

In the close-distance scale range (the distance scale in the orange area), and when shoot-

ing at the maximum aperture, image quality deterioration in the picture corners may result

because of the optical characteristics of the lens.

When taking a picture in this range, we recommend that you use a smaller aperture, stop-

ping down from wide open.
