electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields.
• The liquid crystal panel used in the LCD display is manufactured using extremely
high precision technology.Although the level of functioning pixels is 99.99% or
better, you should be aware that 0.01% or fewer of the pixels may not illuminate or
may illuminate when they should not. However, this has no effect on the recorded
image.
• There is a possibility that the illustrations and the display screen of the LCD monitor
in this manual are different form the actual product.
FOR SAFE USE OF YOUR CAMERA
Sufficient attention has been paid to the safety of this product but please
pay particular attention to the warnings indicated by the following symbols
during use.
Warning
These symbols indicate that it is possible that
the user may experience serious difficulties
if the warnings are not heeded.
Caution
These symbols indicate that it is possible that the
user may experience minor or middling difficulties or
physical difficulties if the warnings are not heeded.
Warning:
• Do not attempt to take the camera apart or remodel the camera. High voltages are
present within the camera, and there is therefore a danger of electric shocks.
• If the inside of the camera should become exposed as a result of, for example, the
camera being dropped, please do not under any circumstances touch such exposed
portions, as there is a danger of receiving an electric shock.
• Wrapping the strap of the camera around your neck is also dangerous, and please
take care that small children do not hang the strap around their necks.
• Use an AC adapter that are of the power and voltage specified for exclusive use with
this product. The use of an AC adapter other than that specified exclusively for use
with this product may cause fire or electric shocks.
• If the camera emits smoke or a strange smell, or in the event of any other irregularity,
stop using the camera immediately, remove the battery or disconnect the AC adapter
and contact your nearest Pentax service center. Continued use of the camera may
result in fire or electric shock.
• Discontinue use of the AC adapter during thunderstorms. This can cause a fire or
electrical shock.
Caution:
• Never try to disassemble, short the battery. Also, do not dispose of the battery in fire,
as it may explode.
• Never try to recharge any battery other than the rechargeable NiMH, as this may
cause fire or explosion. Among the batteries applicable for Optio 330GS, the NiMH is
the only battery that is rechargeable.
• Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or begin to
smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use, so please take care, as there is a
risk of low temperature burns if such portions are held for long periods of time.
• If the batteries become old and begin to leak, handle with extreme care.
• If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with your eyes, do not rub them.
Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical attention immediately.
• If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with skin or clothes, wash the
affected areas throughly with water.

Care to be Taken During Handling
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner or alcohol benzene.
• Places of high temperature and humidity should be avoided. Particular care should be
taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.
• Storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled should be avoided.
Remove from case and store in a well-ventilated place to prevent the camera from
becoming moldy during storage.
• Do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water or any other liquid, because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant. Should the camera
get wet from rain, splashing water, or any other liquid, wipe it off immediately with a
dry soft cloth.
• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure.
Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the
vibrations of a motorbike, car, or ship, etc.
• The liquid crystal display will become black at temperatures of approximately 60°C
(140°F) but will return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.
• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low temperatures.
This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a fault.
• Remove dust from the lens and viewfinder using a blower or clean off dust using a
lens brush.
• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain highperformance.
• 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 during travelling). Pentax is not responsible for consequential damages (costs incurred as
a result of taking pictures, loss of benefits that were to be obtained through taking
pictures) arising from failure of this product.
• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may form on
the inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic
bag, and take the camera out when the difference in temperature has subsided.
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to
104°F).
• Avoid contact with garbage, dirt, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, salt, etc. as this may
cause damage to the camera. If rain or drops of water get onto the camera, please
wipe dry.
• Please refer to “Precautions When Using a CF Card” (p.14) regarding the
CompactFlash (CF) card.
