I have a Pentax IQZoom 160 and it has error code U3 when I turn it on. The flash and zoom try to deploy several times but only the flash comes out.

If the 'U' disappears when the zoom lever is moved your camera is ready to use. It may be defective if it comes up often.
(IQZoom 160 manual p.49)

I have acquired a Pentax IQZoom 700 as a gift. I'm not sure what kind of batteries it takes though, as it did not come with a manual. Can anyone help me?

The IQ-Zoom 700 uses two 3V Lithium batteries (CR-123A or DL-123A). You can order a new manual for $8 from Pentax: http://www.pentaximaging.com/support/manuals-and-literature/ . Use the drop down menus to select your model.

I hope this helps.

Pentax Zoom 70-x won't take pictures, Error code E7

This is the technicians code telling the tech where to start the repair. It is time to replace this camera since the cost of repair is more than the camera is worth.

23 Error Code.

Listing of Pentax codes E3, E7, E37: These codes often signal a problem with your shutter mechanism. E9, E93-E97: These codes may indicate a problem with your zoom lens. H0-H9: These H codes can also identify a problem with your camera's shutter. U1-U9: These U codes may also indicate a problem with your camera's zoom lens.

What does HI or H1 mean?

This is a zoom error code - the flexible circuit going to the shutter in the barrel is probably worn out. It'll have to go to a repair shop.

U3 flashing

I wish i could help you, but Pentax's manual is poor and many people (over the net) face Pentax error message with no meaning... i would take it to your local camera repair shop. If they can't help you call ProCamera in harlottesvile VA. He collects pentax owns his own shop. He's been in business for 12yr's he is also a succesful photoghrapher. I''ve heard nothing but the best about this guy Bill Moretz. I have a pentax if anything happens to hit i know where i shipping it of too and pentax is the only camera i will own. His prices are right so the shipping cosr is worth it.

Loaded film, but won't work and a "3" is flashing.

The IQ Zoom cameras are designed to display error codes (E0, E2, E9, E10, E1A, E37, E90, HL, H4, H5, etc.) when something goes wrong internally with one of the mechanisms or electronic components. These diagnostic displays help to determine where the problem is. When you see an error code, ask a qualified PENTAX repair technician to examine the camera. For information on a specific error code, call Pentax customer service department toll-free at 1-800-877-0155, Monday-Friday 7:30am-4:30pm, Mountain Standard Time.
