Hello Chalain....
How to unlock??? What's locked, the memory card??
Excerpt from the memory card manual:
The SD memory card has a write-protection switch. Slide the switch to the [LOCKED] position
to protect existing data by preventing new data from being written, deleting existing data, or formatting the card. A symbol appears on the LCD screen when the card is write-protected....
But for the manual.... It's in the link from the previous message.... LoL....

My device takes photos correctly, but the screen remains black and we see nothing. What should I do? Thank you.

Hello Hello =)
I have a Pentax Optio E35
And I would like to take a long exposure photo, but since I accidentally threw away my manual, could someone explain to me how to switch to manual mode and how to change the shutter speed?
Thanks in advance <3

Hello, I have a Pentax Optio E30 that records videos in AVI, but I can't play them on Windows Media Player, even with a codec... Do you have any way to help me, thank you
(This is to edit in Movie Maker, so the VLC solution won't work)

Hold down the "delete" key for a long time when you want to take a photo.
And does this camera have modes: black and white, sepia??
Because when taking a video we can use these color options but not when taking a photo
Not logical :/

I found it, you need to go to the scene, go to "modeP" and then go to the menu where you can switch to black and white or sepia.

Hello everyone
The instruction manual does not indicate any possibility for black and white or sepia photos....
Only the video mode has this function..(page 91).
See the manual:

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to manually adjust the shutter speed on the Optio E30.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Kddy...
This option does not seem to be available... We can play with the sensitivity and/or the use of flash... which does have an effect, but that's all.
Here is an excerpt from the manual...
In R (program) mode, the device automatically adjusts the shutter speed
and aperture to take still images
For more information, the manual is downloadable... see the link in post <8> just above....

It's up to you to invest.... Me and photography, we're not on speaking terms.... I know this camera only through the manual.....
for me, the simpler, the better....
As for the signature... it's all "Chinese" (the proverb)
Bye Kddy

I don't have the user manual, how can I change the date and time? If you no longer need it or if you have a spare one, I would appreciate it. Thank you very much. It's urgent to get an answer to my question.

Hello ??? Valoubricoltou
Have you heard of polite formulas???
A little excerpt from the CCM Charter:
Make use of polite formulas and communicate courteously.
http://www.commentcamarche.net/ccmguide/ccmcharte respect autrui.php3#politesse
As for the manual... put in a little effort... read the previous messages.... and you'll find it....

Hello
I have a PENTAX E30
the buttons are locked.
It takes pictures
but I can’t view them, let alone use the camera and other options.
I need your help.
Or if necessary, provide me with the contact details of a company that could assist me.
Best regards.

On the Pentax Optio S5z, you just need to press the "quick" or "trash" button once when you are in photo capture mode.

Hello
I suppose the screen is faulty....
Ask the manufacturer by email... or go to a service center...
