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

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, 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 liquid, 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 highperformance.
• 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.14) regarding the
CompactFlash (CF) card.

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.

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.
Taking Pictures
58
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.
☞ p.82 or
As the distance between the left and right eyes differs from
memo 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.
Caution

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

Appendix
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 completion 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 station 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
