Warning

Caution

This symbol indicates that violating this item could cause serious personal injuries.

This symbol indicates that violating this item could cause minor or medium personal injuries, or material losses.

About the Camera

Warning

• Do not attempt to take the camera apart or remodel the camera. High

voltages are present within the camera, and there is therefore a danger of electric shocks if the camera is taken apart.

• If the inside of the camera should become exposed as a result of, for

example, the camera being dropped, please do not under any circumstances touch such exposed portions, as there is a danger of receiving an electric shock.

• To avoid the risk of it being swallowed by mistake, keep the SD Memory

Card out of the reach of small children. Seek medical attention immediately if a card is accidentally swallowed.

• Wrapping the strap of the camera around your neck is also dangerous.

Please take care that small children do not hang the strap around their necks.

• If the camera emits smoke or a strange smell, or in the event of any other

irregularity, stop using the camera immediately, remove the batteries and contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center. Continued use of the camera may result in fire or electric shock.

Caution

• Never try to disassemble or short the batteries. Also, do not dispose of the

batteries in a fire, as they may explode.

• Do not charge any batteries other than rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. The

batteries could explode or catch fire. Batteries for use with this camera other than Ni-MH batteries cannot be charged.

• Do not place your finger on the flash when it is discharging as there is a

risk of burns.

• Do not discharge the flash while it is touching your clothing as there is a

risk of discoloring.

• If any leakage from the batteries should come in contact with your eyes, do

not rub them. Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical attention immediately.

• If any leakage from the batteries should come in contact with skin or

clothes, wash the affected areas thoroughly with water.

• Remove the batteries from the camera immediately if they become hot or

begin to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.

• Some portions of the camera heat up during use, so please take care, as

there is a risk of low temperature burns if such portions are held for long periods of time.

• Should the LCD be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be

careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or in your eyes or in your mouth.

• Depending on your inherent factors or physical condition, the use of the

camera may cause itching, rashes or blisters. In case of any abnormality, stop using the camera and get medical attention immediately.

Handling Precautions for Batteries

• This camera uses two AA alkaline, AA lithium or AA Ni-MH batteries. Do

not use batteries other than those specified here. Using some other type of battery may cause the camera to function poorly, or the batteries may rupture or cause a fire.

• AA alkaline and AA lithium batteries cannot be recharged. Do not try to

take the batteries apart. The batteries may rupture or leak if you try to charge them or take them apart.

• Do not remove the external seal of the battery. If the seal is removed, the

battery may short and may cause a fire, rupture, leak or heat.

• When replacing the batteries, do not combine different brands, types or

capacities. Also, do not combine old batteries with new ones. Doing so may cause the batteries to rupture or cause a fire.

• Do not insert the batteries with the positive (+) and negative (–) poles in the

wrong orientation. Doing so may cause the batteries to rupture or cause a fire.

About the AC Adapter

Warning

• Use an AC adapter that is of the power and voltage specified for exclusive

use with this product. The use of an AC adapter other than that specified exclusively for use with this product may cause fire or electric shocks.

• During thunderstorms, unplug and discontinue use of the AC adapter.

Continued use could cause equipment failure, a fire, or electric shock.

Caution

• Do not place heavy objects on the AC plug cord, allow heavy objects to

drop onto it or allow the AC plug cord to become damaged due to excessive bending. If the AC plug cord becomes damaged, consult a PENTAX Service Center.

• Do not short or touch the output terminals of the product while it is still

plugged in.

• Do not plug in the AC plug cord with wet hands. This can cause an

electrical shock.

• Do not subject the product to strong impacts or allow it to drop onto a hard

surface. This can cause a malfunction.

• To reduce the risk of hazards, use only CSA/UL Certified power supply

cord set, cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper, one end with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified NEMA configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female connector body (with a specified IEC nonindustrial type configuration) or the equivalent.

Care to be Taken During Handling

• 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 during traveling). Contents of the recording 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.

• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.

• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or

benzene.

• Places of high temperature and humidity should be avoided. Particular

care should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.

• Storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled should be

avoided. Remove the camera from its case and store in a well-ventilated place to prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage.

• As this camera is not waterproof, do not use the camera where it may come

in contact with rain, water or any other liquid.

• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks

or pressure as this may cause damage or malfunction. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera to your nearest PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.

• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C

(32°F to 104°F).

• The liquid crystal display will become black at a high temperature but will

return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.

• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low

temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a fault.

• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain

high performance.

• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation

may form on the inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic bag, and take the camera out when the difference in temperature has subsided.

• Be careful not to allow dirt, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases or salt to

enter the camera as this may damage the camera. Wipe away any raindrops or water droplets and allow the camera to dry.

• Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card” (p.34) regarding

the SD Memory Card.

• Please note that formatting an SD Memory Card or the built-in memory will

delete all data; however it may still be possible to recover that data using off-the-shelf data recovery software. Please manage your camera memory at your own risk.

• Please do not press forcefully on the display. This could cause breakage

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.

• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten

the screw in the tripod socket on the camera.

Camera Features

In addition to basic picture-taking, the Optio E70 has a variety of shooting modes to suit different situations. This section describes how to make the most of the key features of your camera. Together with the explanations of camera operations, it will enable you to enjoy your camera to the full.

Advanced Movie Recording and Picture Taking Functions

The Optio E70 has a shake reduction function to reduce camera shake during movie recording (p.102).

Use the camera to shoot fun-filled movies of your

children or pets as a visual diary of their development (p.99).

Perfect for Portrait Shots!

The Optio E70 comes with a “Face Recognition” function that spots the faces in your shot and automatically adjusts the focus and exposure for the faces. It can recognize 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. 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 15 face recognition frames are displayed on the monitor.

Face Recognition function (p.65) Modes for taking stunning pictures of people (p.76) Face Close-up Playback for easy checking during

playback (p.117)

Add Various Frames to Your Pictures!

When you take a picture with the Optio E70, you can choose from a wide range of fun frames to create attractive framed shots (p.81). You can also add frames to pictures you have taken and 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 being aligned in the frame (p.141).

For decorating your pictures

Use the Green Mode to take pictures easily using

standard settings (p.69).

Display Images in Calendar Format!

With the Optio E70, you can display recorded images by date in calendar format (p.109). This lets you quickly find the image you want to play back.

A multitude of functions inside the camera for enjoying images without a Computer!

The Optio E70 has a variety of functions to let you enjoy playing back and editing images without having to connect the camera to your computer and transfer the images first.
