U

Insertion

of

Batteries

The

electronic

system

of

your

Pentax

PC35AF

operates

on

two

1

SV

mini

batteries.

(Alkaline

battery

AAA)

(Caution:

NiCd

batteries

can

not

be

used.)

1.

Open

the

battery

chamber

cover

located

at

the

base

of

the

camera

by

sliding

it

in

the

direction

of

the

arrow;

use

fingernail

in

the

groove

to

push

the

cover.

2.

Fit

two

batteries

into

the

chamber

as

indicated—they

should

be

fitted

as

shown.

Note

the

+

and

-

markings

provided.

3.

Close

the

cover

by

pushing

it

back.

The

lens

protector

may

be

opened

by

pushing

protector

release

in

the

direction

of

the

arrow.

To

close,

push

protector

back,

locking

same

in

its

original

position.

•

With

the

protector

closed,

a

safety

device

prevents

accidental

firing

of

the

shutter;

similarly,

the

flash

pop-up

release

is

also

locked

at

the

same

time.

•

While

holding

the

camera,

even

a

slight

pushing-back

of

the

lens

protector

would

activate

the

built-in

safety

device,

locking

the

shutter

button.

This

is

to

avoid

possible

vignetting.

Battery

Status

Check

After

opening

the

lens

protector,

battery

status

can

be

checked

by

covering

the

metering

cell

with

the

hand

as

illustrated,

and

partially

depressing

the

shutter

release

button.

The

ORANGE

indicator

will

glow

continuously,

accompanied

by

a

beeping

sound

when

normal

voltage

is

available:

the

lamp

may

be

seen

in

the

upper

section

of

the

viewfinder.

Battery

status

is

also

known

by

another

method:

in

a

brightly

lit

place,

partially

depress

the

shutter

button

without

covering

the

metering

cell

with

the

hand,

and

if

the

GREEN

lamp

lights,

there

is

no

problem

with

the

batteries.

•

Insert

both

batteries

properly

according

to

the

indicated

+

and

-

markings.

•

When

replacing

batteries,

by

type,

brand,

new

or

old

they

should

not

be

mixed,

as

by

doing

so,

poor

results

may

be

the

outcome.

•

It

is

recommended

that

the

batteries

are

removed

from

the

camera

if

it

is

not

used

for

a

long

time.

Leaving

batteries

in

the

camera

may

result

in

acid

leakage

and

possible

damage

to

the

camera

mechanism.

according

to

the

The

as

follows:

i=a

of

approx.

0.8m

located

within

the

indicator.

•

If.you

hear

a

beep

and

the

ORANGE

lamp

is

lit,

it

is

a

warning

that

the

shutter

speed

is

too

slow,

causing

possible

camera

shake,

and

that

insufficient

light

is

being

registered.

In

this

event,

use

of

the

flash

is

recommended:

refer

to

"Flash

Photography"

found

in

the

back

of

this

operating

manual.

•

The

auto

focusing

system

is

highly

accurate

and

reliable

for

ordinary

photographic

requirements.

However,

under

certain

conditions,

the

auto

focusing

system

may

be

confused.

For

example:

When

the

zone

focusing

marker

and

the

known

subject

distance

indicate

an

obvious

discrepancy

to

a

large

degree,

then

the

subject

distance

cannot

be

accurately

measured

by

the

electronic

system

of

Pentax

PC35AF.

Difficult

auto

focusing

subjects/situations

Although

the

Pentax

PC35AF

auto

focusing

system

is

extremely

accurate

and

reliable,

certain

difficult

situations

will

create

problems

for

the

system

unless

compensation

is

provided.

A

common

solution

will

be

to

focus

upon

a

subject

located

near

the

actual

subject

being

photographed,

and

freeze

the

distance.

Then

move/position

the

camera

to

point

con¬

sidered

best

for

framing

purposes.

Some

typical

problems

which

may

be

encountered

when

the

following

subjects/

situations

are

within

1.

N

hair

or

a

possess

qualities:

2.

•

Should

may

cause

underexposed

(darker

results).

•

The

head

must

be

pushed

back

into

the

camera,

when

not

required;

if

left

as

it

is,

the

batteries

will

continue

to

drain—

depleting

them

and

shortening

their

life.

•

In

taking

photographs,

the

camera

should

be

held

with

the

flash

head

positioned

upward:

then,

gently

depress

The

Tips

in

taking

good

photographs

•

Keep

your

back

to

the

sunlight—

with

the

subject

frontlit—and,

depress

shutter

button

gently.

•

Use

the

built-in

flash

often.

Use

it

at

parties,

family

get-togethers,

and

other

activities

where

the

lighting

leaves

much

to

be

desired

for

picture-taking.

Avoid

having

highly

reflective

background,

when

using

flash,

such

as

glass

or

metals.

•

The

self-timer

can

add

much

pleasure

to

your

picture

taking—use

it

often.

The

Pentax

PC35AF

self-timer

possesses

a

10-second

delayed

shutter

release

mechanism.

Confirm

that

the

film

has

been

wound,

prior

to

setting

the

self-timer.

•

Make

maximum

use

of

the

highly

efficient

exposure

compensation

control

to

obtain

satisfying

pictures

under

adverse

conditions

such

as

people

against

a

highly

reflective

window,

a

bright

sky,

at

the

seaside

in

fine

weather,

or

even

against

a

background

of

snow,

and

many

other

similar

situations.

A

for

In

mke

to

PREVENTIVE

CAMERA

MAINTENANCE

1.

The

Pentax

PC35AF

Is

a

highly

developed

precision

instrument.

Care

must

be

taken

to

avoid

dropping

the

camera

or

striking

it

against

a

solid

object—wall,

bookcase,

etc.

Should

this

,

**recommended

that

the

camera

be

taken

to

one

of

the

nearest

Pentax

service

facilities

for

detailed

inspection

of

any

possible

mechanical

damage.

2.

Dust,

dirt

and

other

foreign

objects

appearing

on

the

lens,

viewfinder

or

the

auto

focusing

windows

should

be

removed

as

soon

as

possible

for

it

will

interfere

with

the

performance

of

your

camera.

It

is

recommended

that

a

commercial

lens

blower

or

brush—available

at

camera

dealers

be

employed.

This

means

is

normally

sufficient

to

accomplish

simple

cleaning.

Smudges,

such

as

fingerprints,

should

be

wiped

off

carefully

by

using

a

soft

lens

tissue

or

cotton

cloth

impregnated

with

a

mild

lens

cleaning

liquid

compound.

3.

Solvents,

such

as

thinners

or

alcohol,

should

not

be

used

to

clean

the

components—seepage

may

cause

irreparable

damage

to

the

special

lens

sealing

and

adhesive

compound

between

the

glass.

4.

If

the

camera

gets

wet,

the

camera

should

be

wiped

by

using

a

soft,

dry

cloth.

Following

lengthy

seashore

use,

the

camera

should

be

carefully

cleaned,

again,

using

a

soft

cloth_

preferably,

cotton,

to

remove

the

salt

traces.

5.

Cameras

should

not

be

subjected

to

high

temperatures

and

humidity.

For

example;

A

car

interior

or

its

trunk

compartment

is

often

subjected

to

a

high

degree

of

heat.

It

is

also

possibly

damaging

to

store

your

camera

in

a

cabinet

or

closet

containing

certain

chemicals—insecticides,

such

as

naphthaline—for

any

length

of

time.

6.

Should

the

camera

be

subjected

to

immersion

in

water

(salt

water

or

fresh

water),

for

example,

by

being

dropped

info

a

lake

or

the

ocean,

the

unit

will

malfunction:

or,

at

worst,

become

irreparable.

It

is

recommended

that

the

camera

be

brought

into

the

nearest

Pentax

servicing

facility

for

a

thorough

inspection

and

possible

repair/overhaul

as

soon

as

possible.
