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.

These symbols indicate that it is possible that

the user may experience serious difficulties

if the warnings are not heeded.

Warning

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.

Caution

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 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.14) regarding the

CompactFlash (CF) card.

composition and brightness and take

the picture again if you are not

satisfied.

^{Playing Back Still Pictures}ꢀ ^{p.22, 70}

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

memo

•

The display button will not activate in the 3D image mode.

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

second picture as quickly as you can. It is easier to take the

pictures if you use a tripod or appropriate base.

•

As a guide, the camera should be moved about 1/40 of the

distance 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

differs from person to person, there is no need to be too

concerned. Refer to the table below for a simple guide to how

far to move the camera.

b Example of a 3D picture

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

b 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.

b How to Assemble the 3D Image Viewer

Assemble the 3D image viewer supplied with the camera as

shown below.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

b 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.82 or}

p.90

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.

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, operation

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 liability of the

manufacturer or its representatives under all guarantees or warranties, 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

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 station to proceed with the servicing.
