When you first put the pads on, you need to pump them out. Then is a good idea to bleed them probably to change the fluid out. Actually, if all you did was change the pads, air should have not got in. Be sure when you bleed to re-snug the bleeder before letting up on the lever and to leave the cap loose. Always reset the bellow closed after you finish since this is a sealed no vent system that depends on the bellow coming in to allow flow of fluid. Only snug the cap and then apx 1/4 turn more to allow the bellow gasket squash to keep screws tight.

As far out as the caliper piston was, I bet it did suck in some air. They are easy to bleed but easier if you have someone to help you. Let us know if you need to know how to do it.
Also, you will need some Dot 5 brake fluid. (I think that is correct for yours but check your owners manual)
