Pentax W30 User Manual

This camera uses an SD Memory Card. Captured images and sound files 
are saved on the SD Memory Card if a card is inserted in the camera. They 
are saved in the built-in memory if a card is not inserted. (p.33)

Card that is unused or has been used on other cameras or 
digital devices. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card or 
the Built-in Memory” (p.164) for instructions on formatting.

• Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or 

removing the SD Memory Card.

• Allow the camera to dry completely before changing the SD 

Memory Card. Avoid changing the card where the camera is likely 
to get wet or dirty, and make sure that your hands are dry.

• Do not apply excessive pressure to the front or back of the camera 

when opening and closing the battery/card cover as this may dislodge 
the waterproof packing. If the packing is not in the correct position, the 
waterproof performance of the camera will be compromised.

• The still picture storage capacity varies depending on the capacity 

of the SD Memory Card and the selected number of recorded 
pixels and quality level. (p.30)

• The power indicator blinks while the SD Memory Card is being 

accessed (data is being recorded or read).

The camera may not be able to access data in the built-in memory in the case 
of a malfunction. Use a computer or other device to back up important data in 
another location.
