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, 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 or recharge the battery. Also, do not dispose of the
battery in fire, as it may explode.
• Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or begin to
smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.
• Some por tions 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 liq-
uid, 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 high-performance.
• 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.15) regarding the
CompactFlash (CF) card.
• Be sure to use the D-LI2 rechargeable lithium ion battery provided for this camera. If
you use any other battery the camera may be damaged or malfunction.
To users of this camera
• There is a possibility that recorded data may be erased or that the camera may not
function correctly when used in surroundings such as installations generating strong
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.

Precautions When Using a CF Card
•Make sure that the camera is turned off before opening the CF card cover.
• Care should be taken if you remove the CF card immediately after using the
camera, as the card may be hot.
• Do not open the CF card cover or turn the camera off while data is being
recorded on the card or transferred to another device as this may cause the
data to be lost or the card to be damaged.
• Do not bend the CF card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it away from water
and store away from high temperature.
•
Be sure to format unused CF cards or CF cards that have been used on another
camera. Refer to “Formatting” (p.112) for instructions on formatting.
•Never open the CF card cover during formatting as this may cause the card to
be damaged and become unusable.
• Data recorded on a CF card with the Optio 430RS/330RS cannot be played back
accurately on the Optio 430/330/230. Similarly, data recorded with the Optio 230
cannot be played back accurately on the Optio 430RS/330RS.
• The data on the CF card may be erased in the following circumstances. Pentax
does not accept any liability for data that is erased
• when the CF card is mishandled by the user.
• when the CF card is exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
• when the card has not been used for a long time.
• when the card is ejected, the AC adapter is disconnected or the battery is
removed while the data on the card is being accessed (when the status lamp
and flash lamp are blinking green and red).
• The CF card has a limited service life. If it is not used for a long time, the data
on the card may become unreadable. Be sure to make a backup of important
data on a PC.
•Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity or
electrical interference.
•Avoid using or storing the card in direct sunlight or where it may be exposed to
rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.

How to Use the CF Card
When the CF card is inserted into the camera, images taken
are recorded on the card. You can view the images recorded
on the card on the camera itself, transfer them to your PC and
print them out.
Viewing images on the camera
One of the advantages of a digital camera is that it enables
you to view your pictures immediately after you have taken
them. You can check the composition and brightness and take
the picture again if you are not satisfied.

Quick Start
Viewing images on a PC
You only need to install the USB driver the first time. After that,
you can view recorded images and edit them on the PC just by
connecting the camera to the PC with the USB cable and
downloading the images. Or you can remove the CF card from
the camera and transfer the data to your PC using a card
reader. If you use a laptop computer, you can transfer the
image data by fitting the CF card into the card adapter and
inserting the card adapter into the card slot.
