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, make sure that it is still working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a wedding or when 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.

About the Battery

• 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.

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.

• 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 salt. 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 camera 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.38) 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.

 For decorating your pictures

with a frame

The Optio S1 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 16 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.

Add Fun Frames to Your Pictures!

When you take a picture with the Optio S1, you can choose from our original fun frames to create attractive framed shots (p.80). 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.145).

Display Your Data in Calendar Format!

With the Optio S1, you can display recorded images and movies by date in calendar format (p.119). This lets you quickly find the image or movie you want to play back.

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.

Compensating for Exposure (EV Compensation) 1p.94

Understanding Brightness

If the brightness is correct, the graph peaks in the middle. If the image is underexposed, the peak is on the left side, and if it is overexposed, the peak is on the right side.

When the image is underexposed, the part to the left is cut off (dark portions) and when the image is overexposed, 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.

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.164).

Number of Recordable Images

The file sizes of the recorded images vary depending on the number of recorded pixels of the images, so the number of images that can be saved on an SD Memory Card or in the built-in memory also varies.

Using the Face Detection Function

With the Optio S1, the Face Detection function is available with all shooting modes. When the camera detects a person’s face in the image, the Face Detection function displays a yellow face detection frame around the face on the screen display, sets the focus (Face Detection AF) and compensates the exposure (Face Detection AE). If the subject in the face detection frame moves, the frame also moves and changes its own size as it tracks the face.

The Face Detection function can detect up to 16 people’s faces. If it detects multiple faces, the camera displays a yellow frame over the main face and white frame(s) over the other face(s). The default setting is [On]. You can switch to the Smile Capture function that automatically releases the shutter when the subject smiles. Refer to “Switching the Face Detection Function” (p.100) for details.

About the red-eye phenomenon

Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject’s eyes to appear red in the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash is reflected in the subject’s eyes. It can be reduced by illuminating the area around the subject or moving closer to the subject and zooming out to a wider angle. Setting the flash mode to c or d is also an effective way of reducing red eyes. If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be corrected by the red-eye compensation function (p.144).
