• The above table indicates is the number of images when using a 16MB CF

card.

• The above table is based on standard shooting conditions specified by

PENTAX and may vary depending on the subject, shooting conditions, cap-
ture mode, CF card, etc.

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 a CF Card” (p.102) 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 230 cannot be played back accu-

rately on the Optio 330 or Optio 430. Similarly, data recorded with the Optio 330
or Optio 430 cannot be played back accurately on the Optio 230.

• 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.
