Pentax Digital Camera SMART ZX 7 User Manual

ZX-7  
Pentax introduces the “SMART” ZX-7 Autofocus SLR  
instances). The flash unit also makes a brief discharge in the  
dark to assist the camera’s AF system.  
User-friendly smart picture mode with illumination mode  
dial: When the smart picture mode is selected, the ZX-7  
automatically chooses the most appropriate auto exposure  
mode from five different programs based on the photographic  
situation. The ZX-7 detects the subject’s distance, lens focal  
length and whether or not the subject is in motion; assuring  
the best possible results. The illumination mode dial clearly  
indicates which program is selected by the camera–even  
in the dark. The selected mode is also indicated in the  
viewfinder display.  
Convenient remote control mode: The ZX-7 is the first model  
in the Pentax ZX series to offer a convenient infrared remote  
control mode for instant or three-second-delay remote shutter  
release using the optional remote control unit.  
Large, easy-to-read LCD panel with automatic illuminator:  
The ZX-7’s multi-data LCD panel, with large icons and numbers,  
efficiently compliments the camera’s simple operation  
system. When the camera is used under low-lighting  
conditions, a green LCD illuminator brightens the panel to  
make data confirmation easier.  
Multi-mode exposure system: In addition to the hands-off  
smart picture mode, the ZX-7 offers six manually selectable  
picture modes, two conventional auto exposure modes  
(aperture-priority AE and shutter priority AE), the metered  
manual and bulb modes.  
Full information display and diopter adjustment  
mechanism: Thanks to the renowned natural bright matte  
focusing screen, the ZX-7’s viewfinder offers a sharp,  
clear view of the subject under all circumstances. Its LCD  
display provides a full range of information, including the  
automatically or manually selected picture mode and  
exposure compensation. It even comes with automatic  
brightness control for easy data confirmation. The diopter  
adjustment mechanism built into the viewfinder eyepiece  
allows adjustment of the viewfinder image to match the  
Reliable six-segment metering: The ZX-7’s six segment  
multi-pattern metering system assures optimum results even  
under difficult lighting conditions. When Pentax M, K, and S  
series lenses are used, the camera automatically switches  
to the center-weighted metering system.  
Versatile wide-frame autofocus with focus prediction:  
Thanks to the acclaimed high-precision, high-speed phase  
matching autofocus (SAFOX IV) system, the ZX-7 assures  
sharp, crisp focus even under poor lighting conditions. The  
three-point wide focus frame enables pinpoint focus. Under  
low-lighting conditions, the built-in auto flash assists the AF  
system to ensure pinpoint focusing by making a brief flash  
discharge. The predictive autofocus function automatically  
activates when the camera detects the subject’s motion, and  
predicts the subject’s position at the moment of shutter  
release for accurate focusing.

user’s eyesight, between -2.0m and +1.0m .  
Easy-setting exposure compensation: Using the exposure  
compensation button, the photographer can set the desired  
compensation value between +3EV and -3EV in 1/2EV steps.  
Memory lock: With a single push on the memory lock button,  
the camera memorizes the metered exposure value for  
approximately 20 seconds, during which the photographer is  
free to re-frame the image at will.  
Creative multiple exposure: With a simple push on the drive  
mode button, the user can make two exposures on the single  
frame to create eye-catching images. When taking three or  
more exposures on the same frame, the photographer simply  
presses the multiple exposure button after each exposure.  
Multi-function auto pop-up flash: Covering a wide 28mm  
angle of view, the built-in auto flash pops up and automatically  
discharges when the camera detects low-light and/or  
backlight situations. Its red-eye reduction function effectively  
reduces this effect which can appear in the subject’s eyes  
(although it may not eliminate red eyes completely in all  
*
Panorama format: The user can select the panorama mode for any frame  
to capture dramatic landscape images or large group shots. The viewfinder  
image is automatically adjusted to indicate the panorama format.
