Customer reviews
Works as indicated on Pentax S-40 
by .. J. Norvell (Davis, CA United States)
I have a Pentax S-40 digital camera and this works as it should. All it has on it is a button. You aim it at the camera, from within 15 feet, and it triggers the shutter response that is set in the camera - immediate release or three-second release, for example. Note that the battery is not user-changeable. However, Pentax claims it can be operated for over 20,000 times before you send it in to Pentax for a new battery for some unknown charge. I doubt I will ever need to do that.
Pentax IR remote Control by .. G. Chinn (Phoenix, Arizona)
Nice and small remote control for Pentax digital cameras, it seems to work with any Pentax Digital Camera. It works with both of my SLR's and my Point and shoot. More than I expected. Extremely small stores in the aux base for my K10D. No batteries to replace.
Battery User Changable - Pentax Remote Control F. by .. Moose (Chicago Suburbs, IL)
I purchased the remote today at a Going Out of Business Sale at Ritz Camera in Chciagoland. It was $18.00 I'm using it for the K20D Body.
The remote can be taken apart to change the battery. Three screws need to be removed. The battery is a small round flat Panasonic CR 1620 3V. See Photo's I've included above.
The remote works as advertised. On the K20D You need to set the "Yes" setting in the Custom Menu in order for the Auto Focus to work when using the remote.
You also have to set which type of Shutter release you want to have fire. Press the fn button then press the 4 way controller button (arrow up) to get to the remote settings. You can choose single-immediate fire, Fire after a 3 second delay or Continuous Firing. On the continuous firing the camera will keep taking pictures until you press the remote button a second time to stop the camera from firing.
While you have the remote control feature selected the Self Timer Lamp / Remote Control Reciever Lamp on the front & rear of the camera body will blink (RED) on and off to let you know the remote feature in ON.
NO instructions are included with the remote control F, only a a warning sheet that the remote may interfere with TV/Radio reception. For instructions see your camera manual....

Pentax Remot control F by .. Mack Mccurry (Kenton, Ohio United States)
I bought this for a Pentax K10D camera and it works just like it said it would in the add. good range from the front or back of the camera.Its nice to be able to take a picture without having to have a cord hooked to the camera I also have the wired remote witch you have to be right at the camera to use.the only thing about it is you have to take the remote apart to change the battery (no door). I would say if you have a pentax K10D or the K100D buy this remote you will not be sorry.Also if you have the K10D get the battery box that fits on the bottom of the camera it holds a spair battery -Extra sd card and the remote. Amazon has all of them at a good price.Pentax Remote Control F for Pentax Digital Cameras
