Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Using Your Camera
• When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included
in the package. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad.
• 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 when traveling). Pictures, movies and sound files cannot be
guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer,
etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media
(SD Memory Card), etc.
About the Battery and Charger
• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance.
Avoid storing in high temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the
battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is
recommended.
• The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for
the battery charger D-BC92. Do not use it with other devices.
Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera
• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not
leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a
cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles,
or ships.
• The temperature range for camera use is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to
normal at normal temperatures.
5
• The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due to
liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.
• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and
outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, and
remove it after the temperature of the camera and surroundings are
equalized.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts.
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off
any rain or water drops.
• Please do not press forcefully on the monitor. This could cause it to break
or malfunction.
• Be careful not to sit down with the camera in your back pocket as this may
damage the exterior of the camera or the display.
• Be careful not to overtighten the tripod screw when using a tripod.
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
Cleaning Your Camera
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or
benzine.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use a
spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
Storing Your Camera
• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in high
temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera.
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated
location.
Other Precautions
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain
high performance.
• Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card” (p.39) regarding
the SD Memory Card.
• Please note that deleting images or sound files, or formatting the SD
Memory Cards or the built-in memory does not completely erase the
original data. Deleted files can sometimes be recovered using
commercially available software. It is user’s responsibility to ensure the
privacy of such data.

Close-ups of faces for easy checking during playback
(p.144)
For decorating your pictures
with a frame
The Optio RZ10 comes with a “Face Detection” function that spots the
faces in your shot and automatically adjusts the focus and exposure for
the faces. It can detect up to 32 people per shot (*), so it will help you
take perfect group shots too. It will automatically release the shutter
when people are smiling, or if anyone blinked, it will tell you that so you
can take the shot again until it is perfect. It also has a feature that lets
you enlarge each person’s face in sequence during playback so you can
quickly check their facial expressions.
* Up to 31 face detection frames are displayed on the monitor.
Add Various Frames to Your Pictures!
When you take a picture with the Optio
RZ10, you can choose from a wide
range of fun frames to create attractive
framed shots (p.90). You can also add
frames to pictures you have taken.
Adjust the position of the subject in the
picture or reduce or enlarge the picture
size to match the frame shape and size.
Now you no longer have to worry about
the subject not fitting into the frame
(p.167).
Display Images and Sound Files in Calendar Format!
With the Optio RZ10, you can display recorded images and sound files
by date in calendar format (p.135). This lets you quickly find the image
or sound file you want to play back.
15
Advanced Movie Recording Functions

camera shake during movie recording (p.128). And it enables you to
record movies in 1280×720 pixel (16:9) HDTV format (*) (p.127).

Using the Histogram
A histogram shows the
brightness distribution of an
image. The horizontal axis
represents brightness (dark at
the left and bright at the right)
and the vertical axis represents
the number of pixels.
The shape of the histogram
before and after shooting tells
you whether the brightness and
contrast are correct or not, and lets you decide if you need to adjust the
exposure and take a picture again.

Setting the Exposure (EV Compensation) 1 p.108
Understanding Brightness
Dark image Correct image Bright image
If the brightness is correct, the graph peaks in the middle. If the image is
too dark, the peak is on the left side, and if it is too bright, the peak is on
the right side.
When the image is too dark, the part to the left is cut off (dark portions)
and when the image is too bright, the part to the right is cut off (bright
portions).
Understanding Contrast
The graph peaks gradually for images in which contrast is balanced. The
graph peaks on both sides but sinks in the middle for images with a large
difference in contrast and low amounts of mid-level brightness.
