Indicates useful information. Indicates precautions to take when operating the camera. 1 Before Using Your Camera Check the package contents and the names and functions of working parts before use. X Characteristics ..........................................16 Checking the Contents of the Package ..............18 Names and Functions of Working Parts ............19 Display Indicators ................................................24 How to Change Function Settings ......................39 Using the Mode Dial .............................................45 16 X Characteristics · Features a 23.7×15.7 mm CMOS sensor with approximately 16.28 million effective pixels for high precision and a wide dynamic range. · Features Shake Reduction (SR), an image sensor shifting shake reduction system. This enables you to capture sharp pictures with minimal camera shake regardless of the lens type. · Features an AF sensor with 11 focusing points. The central 9 focusing points are wide cross area sensors. · Features a viewfinder similar to that of a conventional 35 mm camera, with a magnification of approximately 0.92 and field of view of approximately 100%, for easier manual focusing. Also features a superimpose function in which the active AF point(s) on the viewfinder illuminate red. · Features a large 3.0-inch monitor with approximately 921,000 dots, a wide viewing angle and brightness and color adjusting functions for high-precision viewing performance. · Features a Live View function for shooting while viewing the subject in real-time on the monitor. · Movies can be recorded by taking advantage of the lens properties. The camera can also output composite and HDMI video signals so that you can watch recorded images and movies on a TV or high-quality monitor. · A user-friendly design has been implemented in various parts of the camera. The large text size, high-contrast monitor and easy-to-use menus make the camera easier to operate. · The body exterior is magnesium alloy, and the dials, buttons, joints, and retractable parts of the camera are dust-proof and water-resistant. · Features Dust Removal function to shake the CMOS sensor and remove the collected dust. · Features Hyper-program and Hyper-manual modes that let you take pictures with the intended exposure. Also features Sensitivity Priority mode K that automatically adjusts aperture and shutter speed according to the set sensitivity, and Shutter & Aperture Priority mode L that automatically adjusts sensitivity according to the set aperture and shutter speed. · Features Digital Filters to internally process the image in the camera. You can use digital filters such as Color or Soft while taking pictures or to process images after taking them. · Features Custom Image which allows you to adjust settings while previewing the end result of the edited image, enabling a wider range of photographic expression. 1 Before Using Your Camera · Records images in the versatile JPEG format or the high quality and fully editable RAW format. You can also select JPEG+RAW and record in both formats simultaneously. When the file format of the last captured image is JPEG, and its data still remains in the buffer memory, you can additionally save the image in RAW format. RAW images can be easily processed internally by the camera. · Up to five setting patterns can be saved in A mode. In addition, functions for the |/Y button and the e-dials can also be customized, enabling speedy operation by any type of photographer. · Supports the optional Battery Grip D-BG4 with vertical shutter release button. If a battery (D-LI90) is inserted in both the camera and grip, the battery with more power is prioritized. This enables you to get the best camera performance for an extended period. A menu item also allows you to prioritize a battery and use its full power before switching to the other battery. 17 1 Before Using Your Camera Shake Reduction (SR) Shake Reduction (SR) on the X features a PENTAX original system which uses magnetic force to move the image sensor at high speeds, compensating for camera shake. The camera may generate some operating noise when it is shaken, such as when changing the composition of a picture. This is normal and not a malfunction. The captured area (view angle) will differ between the X and 35 mm SLR cameras even if the same lens is used because the format sizes for 35 mm film and CMOS sensor are different. Sizes for 35 mm film and CMOS sensor 35 mm film : 36×24 mm X CMOS sensor : 23.7×15.7 mm The focal length of a lens used with a 35 mm camera is about 1.5 times longer than that of the X. To shoot images with an angle of view framing the same area, divide the focal length of the 35 mm lens by 1.5. Example) To capture the same image as a 150 mm lens attached to a 35 mm camera 150÷1.5=100 Use a 100 mm lens with the X. Inversely, multiply the focal length of the lens used with the X by 1.5 to determine the focal length for 35 mm cameras. Example) If 300 mm lens is used with the X 300×1.5=450 Focal length is equivalent to a 450 mm lens on a 35 mm camera. 18 Checking the Contents of the Package The following accessories are packaged with your camera.
