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.
