About SD Memory Cards

Warning

• To avoid the risk of SD Memory Cards from being swallowed by mistake, keep them out of the reach of small children. Seek medical attention immediately if an SD Memory Card is accidentally swallowed.

Care to be Taken During Handling

Before Starting Use

• 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.

About the Battery and Battery Charger

• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance. Avoid storing it especially 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 service life.

•

Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.

• The AC plug cord supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with the battery charger D-BC78. Do not use it with any other equipment.

Cautions when Carrying and Using the Camera

Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken

• regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.

• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof performance. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the

Page 8

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 -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).

• The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperatures but will return to normal at normal temperatures.

• 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 malfunction.

• 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.

• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts. These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe dry any rain or water drops on the camera.

• Please do not press forcefully on the display. 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.

• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket on the camera.

About Repairs

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

• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use a spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.

About Storage

• Avoid storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled. Remove the camera from its case and store it in a well-ventilated place to prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage.

Camera Features

In addition to basic picture-taking, the Optio W80 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 fullest.

Forget Your Worries About Water Getting in the Camera!

The Optio W80 is both waterproof and dustproof. The waterresistant coating on the lens cover glass enables you to take pictures underwater for two hours at a depth of 5 meters (approx.

16.6 ft.). It also allows the camera to be sprayed by water, and you can use the camera in locations where it will be exposed to dust and dirt such as beaches,

kitchens, or workshops. Because it utilizes a lock mechanism for the battery/card/terminal cover, when the cover is firmly locked, you can use it underwater with the knowledge that the batteries and card are also secure. The camera’s impact resistance(*) performance satisfies PENTAX’s independent standard for impact resistance, so it can be used in a wide variety of outdoor activities.

* The camera satisfies the PENTAX drop test (1 m height onto a 5 cm

thick plywood surface) complying with MIL-Standard 810F Method

516.5-Shock testing.

• Waterproof performance is not guaranteed if the camera is exposed to

impact such as being dropped or hit.

• The camera is not guaranteed to be free of trouble or damages under

every condition.

Perfect for Portrait Shots!

The Optio W80 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, 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 recognition frames are displayed on the monitor (30 in

the Half-length Portrait mode).

Face Recognition function (p.73). Modes for taking stunning pictures of people (p.83). Close-ups of people’s faces for easy checking during

playback (p.158).

Add Various Frames to Your Pictures!

When you take a picture with the Optio W80, 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.180).

For decorating your pictures

with a frame.

Display Images and Sound Files in Calendar Format!

With the Optio W80, you can display recorded images and sound files by date in calendar format (p.150). This lets you quickly find the image or sound file you want to play back.

Page 21

Advanced Movie Recording Functions!

The Optio W80 includes Movie SR to reduce camera shake during movie recording (p.139). It also supports 1280×720 HDTV so you can view your recordings as stunning wide-screen movies.

Use the camera to shoot fun-filled movies of your

children or pets as a visual diary of their development (p.136).

A Multitude of Functions inside the Camera for Enjoying Images Without a Computer!

The Optio W80 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. The camera is all you need to take and edit still pictures and movies (p.172). And no more worries about accidentally deleting images, because now, with the Optio W80, you can recover them again (p.164).

Resize (p.172), Cropping (p.173) and Red-eye

Compensation (p.179) can be used, while the image is displayed in the playback mode.

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

Number of pixels→

(Dark) ← Brightness → (Bright)

Dark portions Bright portions

you whether the brightness and contrast are correct or not, and lets you decide if you need to use EV compensation and take the picture again.

Setting the Exposure (EV Compensation) 1p.121

Understanding Brightness

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.

Dark image Correct image Bright image

Page 32

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). The Optio W80 has a function where bright portions are indicated as blinking red and dark portions as blinking yellow.

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.

Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card

• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a write-protect switch. Setting the switch to LOCK prevents new data from being recorded on the card, the stored data from being deleted, and the card from being formatted by the camera or a computer. r appears on the display when the card is write-protected.

• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately after using the camera, as the card may be hot.

• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn off the camera while data is being written or played back from the SD Memory Card or while connected to a computer with a USB cable. Doing so may result in data corruption or damage to the card.

• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it away from water and store away from high temperature.

•

Never remove the SD Memory Card while it is being formatted. This may damage the card and make it unusable.

• The data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted. This includes the following:

(1) When the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user. (2) When the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical

interference. (3) When the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time. (4) When the SD Memory Card is ejected or the battery is removed while the

data on the card is being recorded or accessed.

• If it is not used for a long time, the data on the card may become unreadable. Be sure to regularly make a backup of important data on a computer.

• Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.

• Avoid using or storing the card in direct sunlight or where it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.

• When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed, recording may stop while you are taking movies even when there is adequate space in the memory, or shooting and playback may take a long time.

• Be sure to format SD Memory Cards that are unused or have been used on another camera. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card” (p.200).

• Please note that formatting the SD Memory Card will not necessarily delete the data so that it cannot be recovered using off-the-shelf data recovery software. There are off-the-shelf secure data deletion software programs available that will completely delete the data. If you are going to discard, give away or sell your SD Memory Card, you should ensure that the data on the card is completely deleted or the card itself is destroyed if it contains any personal or sensitive information. In any case, the data on your SD Memory Card should be managed at your own risk.

With the Optio W80, the Face Recognition function is available with all shooting modes. When the camera detects a person’s face in the image, the Face Recognition function displays a yellow face recognition frame around the face on the display screen, sets the focus (Face Recognition AF) and compensates the exposure (Face Recognition AE). If the subject in the face recognition frame moves, the frame also moves and changes size as it tracks the face.

The Face Recognition function can recognize up to 32 people’s faces. If it recognizes multiple faces, the camera displays a yellow frame over the main face and white frames over the other faces. It can display up to a total of 31 frames, including both the main and white frames. (Maximum of 30 in Half-length Portrait mode)

•

Face Recognition AF and AE may not work if the subject is wearing sunglasses, has part of their face covered or is not looking toward the camera.

• If the camera cannot recognize the subject’s face, the camera focuses using the setting currently selected in the focusing area.

• However, the Smile Capture function may not work and an image may not be captured, even when turned on, depending on the condition of the recognized faces, such as the faces being too small. If this happens, press the shutter release button to take a picture.
