t Memo
•For q and U, a new folder is created and the captured
images are saved there.
• The shortest time that can be set for [Interval] is 5 seconds
when [Digital Filter], [Clarity], or [Skin Tone] is set, and 10
seconds when [HDR Capture] is set.
• The second and later exposures start at the intervals set in
[Interval]. If the exposure time is longer than the time set in
[Interval], some of the pictures that are supposed to be taken
at the set intervals are not actually taken. For example, if the
time set in [Interval] is 2 seconds and the exposure time is 3
seconds, the first exposure does not end at the time the
second exposure is supposed to start (2 seconds after the
start of shooting), and so the second picture is not taken. As
a result, Interval Shooting ends before the specified number
of shots are taken. In such cases, you can set [Standby
Interval] in [12 Interval Shooting Options] of the E2 menu so
that pictures are taken at the set intervals after each exposure
ends. The screen displayed in Step 4 varies depending on the
[12 Interval Shooting Options] setting.

About Mount Names
DA and D FA lenses with a motor and FA zoom lenses with
a power zoom use the KAF2 mount. (Of these lenses, the
lenses without an AF coupler use the KAF3 mount.)
The KAF3 mount equipped with an electromagnetic
diaphragm mechanism instead of an aperture control lever is
referred to as the KAF4 mount.
FA single focal length lenses (non-zoom lenses), DA and DA
L lenses without a motor, and D FA, FA J, and F lenses use
the KAF mount. (The power zoom function is not compatible
with this camera.)

• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still
working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as
at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be
guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a
computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or
recording media (memory cards), etc.
• To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully
charged state or in high temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time,
the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is
recommended.
• The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for
the battery charger D-BC109. Do not use it with other devices.
• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not
leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use
a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles,
automobiles, or ships.
• The temperature range for camera use is -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
• The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to
normal at normal temperatures.
• The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due
to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.
• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and
outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag,
and remove it after temperatures of the camera and surroundings are
equalized.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt.
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry
off any rain or water drops immediately.
• Do not attach or remove a lens when there are any rain or water drops
on the camera. If water enters the camera or the lens, a malfunction may
occur.
• Do not press on the monitor with excessive force. This could cause it to
break or malfunction.
• Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using
a tripod.
• Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol,
and benzine.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on a lens. Never use a
spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
• Please contact your nearest service center for professional cleaning of
the CMOS sensor. (This will involve a fee.)
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to
maintain high performance.
• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in high
temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera.
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated
place.
• Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static
electricity or electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or in locations where
it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.

All our cameras purchased through authorized bona fide
photographic distribution channels are guaranteed against
defects of material or workmanship for a period of twelve
months from the date of your purchase. Service will be
rendered, and defective parts will be replaced without cost to
you within that period, provided the camera does not show
evidence of impact, sand or liquid damage, mishandling,
tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, operation contrary to
operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized repair
shop. The manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall
not be liable for any repair or alterations except those made with
its written consent and shall not be liable for damages from
delay or loss of use or from other indirect or consequential
damages of any kind, whether caused by defective material or
workmanship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the
liability of the manufacturer or its representatives under all
guarantees or warranties, whether expressed or implied, is
strictly limited to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore
provided. No refunds will be made on repairs by non-authorized
service facilities.
Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period
Any camera which proves defective during the 12-month
warranty period should be returned to the dealer from whom you
purchased the camera or to the manufacturer. If there are no
representatives of the manufacturer in your country, send the
camera to the manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In this case,
it will take a considerable length of time before the camera can
be returned to you owing to the complicated customs
procedures required. If the camera is covered by warranty,
repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the
camera will be returned to you upon completion of servicing. If
the camera is not covered by warranty, regular charges of the
manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping
charges are to be borne by the owner. If your camera was
purchased outside of the country where you wish to have it
serviced during the warranty period, regular handling and
servicing fees may be charged by the manufacturer’s
representatives in that country. Notwithstanding this, your
camera returned to the manufacturer will be serviced free of
charge according to this procedure and warranty policy. In any
case, however, shipping charges and customs clearance fees
to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase
when required, please keep the receipt or bills covering the
purchase of your camera for at least a year. Before sending
your camera for servicing, please make sure that you are
sending it to the manufacturer’s authorized representatives or
their approved repair shops, unless you are sending it directly
to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service
charge, and only after you accept the quoted service charge,
instruct the service station to proceed with the servicing.
• This warranty policy does not affect the customer’s
statutory rights.
• The local warranty policies available from our
distributors in some countries can supersede this
warranty policy. Therefore, we recommend that you

For customers in Canada
Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Notice
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-
003 (B).
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using low power wireless devices.
There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless
devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit
low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave
range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that
does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not
found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that
some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not
been confirmed by additional research. The K-70 has been
tested and found to comply with IC radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the
IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
Pour les utilisateurs au Canada
Industrie Canada (IC) Avis de Conformité
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme
NMB-003 (B) du Canada.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en
compromettre le fonctionnement.
Les connaissances scientifiques dont nous disposons n’ont mis
en évidence aucun problème de santé associé à l’usage des
appareils sans fil à faible puissance. Nous ne sommes
cependant pas en mesure de prouver que ces appareils sans fil
à faible puissance sont entièrement sans danger. Les appareils
sans fil à faible puissance émettent une énergie fréquence
radioélectrique (RF) très faible dans le spectre des micro-ondes
lorsqu’ils sont utilisés. Alors qu’une dose élevée de RF peut
avoir des effets sur la santé (en chauffant les tissus),
l’exposition à de faibles RF qui ne produisent pas de chaleur n’a
pas de mauvais effets connus sur la santé. De nombreuses
études ont été menées sur les expositions aux RF faibles et
n’ont découvert aucun effet biologique. Certaines études ont
suggéré qu’il pouvait y avoir certains effets biologiques, mais
ces résultats n’ont pas été confirmés par des recherches
supplémentaires. Le K-70 a été testé et jugé conforme aux
limites d’exposition aux rayonnements IC énoncées pour un
environnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles d’exposition
aux fréquences radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC.
