Wait until the lamp lights red, indicating charging is complete. * The SD Memory Card/MultiMediaCard is full: Insert an SD Memory Card/MultiMediaCard that is not full, or delete unwanted images. * The camera is recording: Please wait until recording is finished.

Why is my Pentax Optio 33WR picture dark?
- T
  Thomas LewisAug 14, 2025
  If your Pentax Digital Camera picture is dark, it might be because: * The subject is too far away in a dark environment (night-scenes, etc.): If the subject is too far away, the image will be dark. Take the picture within the flash range. * The background is dark: When taking a picture of a person against a dark background, the person may appear clearly while the background appears dark because the flash does not reach the background. If you select the / or & mode on the virtual dial screen, both the person and the night-scene will be clear.
