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 (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)
1
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
25
26
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.

• 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 are 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 are 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 are 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.
• For information on compatible SD Memory Cards, visit the PENTAX website.
• Be sure to format an SD Memory Card that is unused or has been used on
another camera. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card” (p.184).
• Please note that formatting the SD Memory Card will not necessarily delete the data so that they 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 are 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 P70, 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 face(s). It can display up to a total of 15 frames, including a main frame and white frame(s).

• Face Recognition AF and AE may not work if the subject is wearing sunglasses, has part of the 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 [Focusing Area].
• When the Smile Capture function is on, the shutter may not be released automatically because the Smile Capture function may not work in some situations, such as when the recognized face is too small.

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.160).

WARRANTY POLICY
9
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.

• The local warranty policies available from PENTAX distributors in some countries can supersede this warranty policy.
