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 warn-  
ings 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 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 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 dur-  
ing 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 bet-  
ter, 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.  
•

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.

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

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.

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.

Printing images by a printing service  
Prints of images recorded on the CF card can be ordered in  
the same way as with conventional photographs by taking the  
CF card to a store that performs printing.  
The number of prints can be specified and dates can be includ-  
ed in the prints if DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is set before  
taking the CF card to a store that performs DPOF printing.

memo  
A clear three-dimensional effect will not be achieved if the two  
images are taken in widely different positions (heights) or are  
not straight. When taking a person, you are recommended to  
ask your model to stay as still as possible and to take the sec-  
ond picture as quickly as you can. It is easier to take the pic-  
tures if you use a tripod or appropriate base.  
•
As a guide, the camera should be moved about 1/40 of the dis-  
tance between the camera and the subject. For example, if the  
subject is 3m away, the distance the camera should be moved  
will be 3m ÷ 40=7.5cm.  
However, as the way people see three-dimensional images dif-  
fers from person to person, there is no need to be too con-  
cerned. Refer to the table below for a simple guide to how far to  
move the camera.

● Viewing 3D pictures by the parallel method and cross  
method  
As our eyes are positioned about 6~7cm apart, there is a very  
slight deviation between what we see with our right eye and what  
we see with our left eye. The difference is processed by our brain  
to produce a three-dimensional image. This principle is applied to  
taking and viewing 3D pictures.  
3D pictures can be viewed by the parallel method where the left  
and right lines of vision are virtually parallel, as when looking at a  
distant scene, or the cross method where the left and right lines of  
vision are crossed, as when you cross your eyes. A certain  
amount of practice may be necessary to view 3D pictures without  
using the viewer.  
●
How to Assemble the 3D Image Viewer  
Assemble the 3D image viewer supplied with the camera as  
shown below.

●
How to view 3D pictures using the 3D image viewer  
Print out the pictures so that they are about 11cm or 12cm wide  
and place the divider of the 3D image viewer in the middle of the  
two.  
Transfer the images with a PC or Macintosh  
p.87 or p.102  
As the distance between the left and right eyes differs from person  
to person, some people may have difficulty obtaining a three-  
dimensional effect even when looking at prints that are the same  
size. It may be especially difficult if the pictures are very large or  
very small. Try different sizes until the right effect is achieved.  
memo  
• Never look at the sun through the 3D image viewer.  
• Do not leave the 3D image viewer where it is exposed to  
direct sunlight as this may lead to fire.

WARRANTY POLICY  
All Pentax cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photographic  
distribution channels are guaranteed against defects of material or workman-  
ship for a period of twelve months from date of purchase. Service will be ren-  
dered, and defective parts will be replaced without cost to you within that  
period, provided the equipment does not show evidence of impact, sand or  
liquid damage, mishandling, tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, opera-  
tion contrary to operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized  
repair shop. The manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall not be  
liable for any repair or alterations except those made with its written consent  
and shall not be liable for damages from delay or loss of use or from other  
indirect or consequential damages of any kind, whether caused by defective  
material or workmanship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the lia-  
bility of the manufacturer or its representatives under all guarantees or war-  
ranties, whether expressed or implied, is strictly limited to the replacement of  
parts as hereinbefore provided. No refunds will be made on repairs by non-  
authorized Pentax service facilities.  
Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period  
Any Pentax which proves defective during the 12-month warranty period  
should be returned to the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment or  
to the manufacturer. If there is no representatives of the manufacturer in your  
country, send the equipment to the manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In  
this case, it will take a considerable length of time before the equipment can  
be returned to you owing to the complicated customs procedures required. If  
the equipment is covered by warranty, repairs will be made and parts  
replaced free of charge, and the equipment will be returned to you upon com-  
pletion of servicing. If the equipment is not covered by warranty, regular  
charges of the manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping  
charges are to be borne by the owner. If your Pentax was purchased outside  
of the country where you wish to have it serviced during the warranty period,  
regular handling and servicing fees may be charged by the manufacturer’s  
representatives in that country. Notwithstanding this, your Pentax returned to  
the manufacturer will be serviced free of charge according to this procedure  
and warranty policy. In any case, however, shipping charges and customs  
clearance fees to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase  
when required, please keep the receipt or bills covering the purchase of your  
equipment for at least a year. Before sending your equipment for servicing,  
please make sure that you are sending it to the manufacturer’s authorized  
representatives or their approved repair shops, unless you are sending it  
directly to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service charge,  
and only after you accept the quoted service charge, instruct the service sta-  
tion to proceed with the servicing.

This warranty policy does not affect the customer’s statutory rights.  
The local warranty policies available from Pentax distributors in some  
countries can supersede this warranty policy. Therefore, we recommend  
that you review the warranty card supplied with your product at the time  
of purchase, or contact the PENTAX distributor in your country for more  
information and to receive a copy of the warranty policy.
