Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Using Your Camera
• When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network 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 and sound 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 usage span.
• 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-BC88. 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.
• 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 temperature of the camera and surroundings are equalized.
5
• 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 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
benzene.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens or viewfinder.
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 the data recorded on an SD Memory Card or

Camera Features
In addition to basic picture-taking, the Optio P80 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.
Easy Recording and Playback!
You can also hold it vertically to take pictures as if it was a cellphone.
Even the buttons work like those on a cellphone, making picture taking
a breeze. The Optio P80 also makes it easy for you to collect your
favorite shots and show them to your friends.
Cellphone-like picture taking (p.80)
Storage and simple playback of favorite shots (p.139)
Easy-to-Navigate Capture and Playback
Functions!
The user-friendly design of the Optio
P80 enables easy operation with only a
few buttons. Simply by choosing the
appropriate icon, you can select the
shooting mode (p.69) and choose the
optimal settings for the situation, or the
playback mode (p.134, p.158) and

functions. A guide on the display lets
you check the functions available in
each mode and how to use them.
A shooting mode guide is displayed in the Capture Mode

Perfect for Portrait Shots!
The Optio P80 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 (up to 30 frames in Half-length
Portrait mode) are displayed on the monitor.

of fun frames to create attractive framed
shots (p.91). 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).
For decorating your pictures
with a frame
Display Images and Sound Files in Calendar Format!

or pets as a visual diary of their development (p.123).
A Multitude of Functions Inside the Camera for
Enjoying Images Without a Computer!
The Optio P80 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.158). And

Using the Histogram
Number of pixels→
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
(Dark)
←Brightness→ (Bright)
before and after shooting tells
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.108
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
26
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).
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.

either becomes disconnected while data is being recorded on the SD
Memory Card or the built-in memory.
• Use the AC adapter with due care to avoid fire or electric shock.
Be sure to read “About the Battery Charger and the AC Adapter” (p.2)
before using the AC adapter.
• Be sure to read the operation manual accompanying the AC adapter
kit K-AC88 before using the adapter.
• When connecting the AC adapter, you cannot set the camera upright
on the table because the cord from the DC coupler comes out of the
bottom of the camera. Additionally, do not place the camera with the
lens facing down because the lens extends when the camera turns on.
Hold the camera in your hand or use a tripod when using the AC
adapter.
Installing the SD Memory Card
• Be sure to use this camera to format (initialize) an SD Memory
Card that is unused or has been used on other cameras or digital
devices. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card” (p.188) for
instructions on formatting.
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing
the SD Memory Card.
1
Getting Started
This camera uses either an SD Memory Card or an SDHC Memory Card.
(Both cards are referred to as SD Memory Cards hereafter.) Captured
images and sound files are saved on the SD Memory Card if a card is
inserted in the camera. They are saved in the built-in memory if a card is
not inserted (p.41).
• The still picture storage capacity varies depending on the capacity of
the SD Memory Card and the selected number of recorded pixels and
quality level (p.40).
• The self-timer lamp blinks while the SD Memory Card is being
accessed (data is being recorded or read).

• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a writeprotect 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
Write-protect
computer.
r appears on the display when the card is
switch
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 the camera off while the data is
being played back or saved to the card, or the camera is connected to a
computer with the USB cable, as this may cause the data to be lost or the card
to be damaged.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it away
from water and store away from high temperature.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage
the card and render 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
(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.188).
• 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
3
Taking Pictures
With the Optio P80, 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 its own size
as it tracks the face.
The Face Recognition function can recognize
up to 32 people’s faces. If it recognizes multiple

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.166).

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. Try
shooting using the focus lock (p.68), or
Manual Focus (p.104).
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.

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.
