Use A Pentax K110d Camera

The Pentax K110D is an easy to use entry-level DSLR.


The K110D is a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera first produced by the Pentax company in 2006. Revered for their classic SLR film cameras such as the ME Super and the K1000, Pentax has been a major name in the photographic market since being founded in 1919. Marketed toward the novice and amateur photographer the K110D pairs simple, straightforward operation with quality internal components. Familiarize yourself with the K110D and its capabilities by following the steps below.


Instructions


1. Open the battery compartment cover on the underside of the camera and insert two fresh AA batteries. Close the compartment so that it clicks into place.


2. Slide the memory card cover, located on the right side of the camera body, outward and away from the camera to open it. Insert an SD memory card or ensure that there is already one inserted into the slot. Close the cover.


3. Hold your K110D in front of you and acquaint yourself with all of the dials, buttons and knobs on your camera. Use the visual diagrams located in the operating manual for assistance.


4. Turn the main switch, located on the top right of the camera body, to the "ON" position.


5. Begin shooting by moving the mode dial, located on the top left side of the camera body, to "AUTO PICT." Also move the small lever on the left side of the lens barrel to "AF" for autofocus. This sets the K110D to fully automatic mode, meaning that the camera's sensor and light meter chooses the best combination of shutter speed and aperture (size of lens opening) for an accurate exposure. As you progress in your photography, experiment with the other modes on the dial for more involvement in the photo-taking process.


6. Review your images by pressing the "PLAY" button in the lower left corner of the camera's rear panel. Scroll through the images using the directional arrows on the right side of the rear panel. To switch pack to shooting mode, depress the shutter button halfway.


7. Remove the lens by depressing the small button toward the bottom of the lens barrel and rotating it clockwise. Reattach the lens by aligning the red guide dots on the lens and the mount thread. Rotate it counterclockwise until it clicks into place.
