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
5
6 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

Camera Features
16
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.

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
(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

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.

r appears on the display when the card is write-protected.
Write-protect switch
• 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.

Using the Face Recognition Function
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.

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 (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) 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.179).

Remedy
The camera may have difficulty in focusing on such subjects as: low contrast subjects (a white wall, a blue sky, etc.), dark subjects, finely-patterned objects, rapidly-moving objects. It is also difficult to get proper focus when shooting through a window or a net
(p.68). Try shooting using the focus lock,
Locate the desired subject in the focus frame (focusing area) in the center of the display. If it is difficult to do so, first lock the focus on the desired subject (focus lock), and then move the camera to recompose.

Set to , (Auto) or b (Flash On) (p.103).

All PENTAX cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photographic distribution channels are guaranteed against defects of material or workmanship for a period of twelve months from date of purchase. Service will be rendered, and defective parts will be replaced without cost to you within that period, provided the equipment does not show evidence of impact, sand or liquid damage, mishandling, tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, operation contrary to operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized repair shop. The manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall not be liable for any repair or alterations except those made with its written consent and shall not be liable for damages from delay or loss of use or from other indirect or consequential damages of any kind, whether caused by defective material or workmanship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the liability of the manufacturer or its representatives under all guarantees or warranties, whether expressed or implied, is strictly limited to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore provided. No refunds will be made on repairs by non-authorized PENTAX service facilities.
Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period
Any PENTAX which proves defective during the 12-month warranty period should be returned to the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment or to the manufacturer. If there is no representative of the manufacturer in your country, send the equipment to the manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable length of time before the equipment can be returned to you owing to the complicated customs procedures required. If the equipment is covered by warranty, repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the equipment will be returned to you upon completion of servicing. If the equipment is not covered by warranty, regular charges of the manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping charges are to be borne by the owner. If your PENTAX was purchased outside of the country where you wish to have it serviced during the warranty period, regular handling and servicing fees may be charged by the manufacturer’s representatives in that country. Notwithstanding this, your PENTAX returned to the manufacturer will be serviced free of charge according to this procedure and warranty policy. In any case, however, shipping charges and customs clearance fees to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase when required, please keep the receipt or bills covering the purchase of your equipment for at least a year. Before sending your equipment for servicing, please make sure that you are sending it to the manufacturer’s authorized representatives or their approved repair shops, unless you are sending it directly to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service charge, and only after you accept the quoted service charge, instruct the service station to proceed with the servicing.
