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, 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-BC92. 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.
5
• 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.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts.
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera dry off any
rain or water drops.
• Please do not press forcefully on the monitor. This could cause it to break
or malfunction.

• 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. 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 images or sound files, or formatting the SD

Camera Features
In addition to basic picture-taking, the Optio I-10 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-to-Navigate Capture and Playback
Functions!
The user-friendly design of the Optio I10 enables easy operation with only a
few buttons. Simply by choosing the
appropriate icon, you can select the
shooting mode (p.67) and choose the
optimal settings for the situation, or the
playback mode (p.136, p.158) and
enjoy the various playback and editing
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
Palette and a playback mode guide in the Playback Mode
Palette (p.67, p.136).
Use the Green Mode to take pictures easily using
standard settings (p.74).
Resistant to Camera Shake!
The Optio I-10 is equipped with an optical camera shake reduction
feature (Shake Reduction). This feature prevents camera shake when
you take a picture in dark locations or at the moment you release the
shutter.
14
Perfect for Portrait Shots!
The Optio I-10 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 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 detection frames (up to 30 frames in Half-length Portrait
mode) are displayed on the monitor.
Face Detection function (p.70)
Modes for taking stunning pictures of people (p.80)
Close-ups of people’s faces for easy checking during
playback (p.144)
Add Various Frames to Your Pictures!
When you take a picture with the Optio
I-10, you can choose from a wide range
of fun frames to create attractive framed
shots (p.88). 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!
With the Optio I-10, you can display recorded images and sound files by
date in calendar format (p.135). This lets you quickly find the image or
sound file you want to play back.
15
Advanced Movie Recording Functions
The Optio I-10 has a shake reduction function (Movie SR) to reduce
camera shake during movie recording (p.126). And it enables you to
record movies in 1280×720 pixel (16:9) HDTV format (*) (p.125).
* When connecting to and playing back images on AV equipment,
image data is output at normal screen resolution. To view movies in
HDTV, transfer the data to a computer and play it back on the
computer.
Use the camera to shoot fun-filled movies of your children
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 I-10 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
no more worries about
accidentally deleting images,
because now, with the Optio I-10,
you can recover them again
(p.151).
Resize (p.158), Cropping (p.159) and Red-eye
Compensation (p.166) can be used, while the image is
displayed in the playback mode.
You can divide a movie into two or select a frame from a
movie to save it as a still picture (p.176).

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
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.

computer.
switch
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.
• Keep the card cover closed and do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn
the camera off while the image 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.
• Keep the card cover closed and 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.194).

Using the Face Detection Function
3
When the camera detects a person’s face
in the image, the Face Detection function
displays a yellow frame (Face detection
frame) around the face on the display
screen, sets the focus (Face Detection
AF) and compensates the exposure (Face
38
Detection AE).
Face detection frame
If the subject in the face detection frame
moves, the frame also moves and changes its own size as it tracks the face.
Taking Pictures
The Face Detection function can detect up
to 32 people’s faces. If it detects multiple
faces, the camera displays a yellow frame
over the main face and white frames over
the other face(s). It can display up to a
total of 31 frames (up to 30 frames in Halflength Portrait mode), including a main
frame and white frame(s).

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).

inside the camera increases and the camera may be automatically
turned off to protect the circuit.

communication on or off, however, this does not guarantee availability
of all the functions on the Eye-Fi card.
• Use of the Eye-Fi card is permitted only in the country where you
purchased the card. Follow the laws of that country.

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.66), or
Manual Focus (p.103).
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

recompose.

WARRANTY POLICY
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.

Appendix
258
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.
• This warranty policy does not affect the customer’s statutory rights.
• The local warranty policies available from PENTAX distributors in some
countries can supersede this warranty policy. Therefore, we recommend
that you review the warranty card supplied with your product at the time
of purchase, or contact the PENTAX distributor in your country for more
information and to receive a copy of the warranty policy.

Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old
Equipment and Used Batteries
1. In the European Union
These symbols on the products, packaging and/or
accompanying documents mean that used electrical and
electronic equipments and batteries should not be mixed with
general household waste.
Used electrical/electronic equipments and batteries must be
treated separately and in accordance with legislation that
requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling of these
products.
Following the implementation by member states, private
households within the EU states may return their used
electrical/electronic equipments and batteries to designated
collection facilities free of charge*.
In some countries your local retailer may also take back your
old product free of charge if you purchase a similar new one.
*Please contact your local authority for further details.
By disposing of this product correctly you will help ensure that
the waste undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and
recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the
environment and human health which could otherwise arise
due to inappropriate waste handling.
