Easy-to-Navigate Capture and Playback Functions!
12
The Optio V10 features an easy-to-see 3.0-inch LCD monitor. In addition, settings for capture, playback and editing functions are easy to navigate. Simply select icons that appear on the LCD monitor.
If you are unsure of which shooting mode to use, first select b (Auto
Picture) (p.60). The camera selects the appropriate shooting mode*
depending on the scene.
A guide appears when you select an icon, allowing you to check the
functions available in each mode and how to use them. (p.59)
* When you select b (Auto Picture mode), the shooting mode is selected from
(Standard mode), A (Night Scene mode), q (Landscape mode), and e
(Portrait mode).
Let the camera choose the optimal settings.
Use the s (Green mode) to take pictures easily using
standard settings. (p.66)
Choose a Frame Before Taking the Picture!
With the Optio V10, you can add a fun frame when taking a picture of a child
or your pet, for example. (p.69) 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 being aligned in the frame.
For decorating your pictures with a frame.
Easy Printing without Using a Computer!
By connecting the camera to a printer that supports PictBridge using the
USB cable, you can print images directly from the camera.
Gone are the days of not being able to print out pictures at home because operating the computer was too difficult!
Easily print out images without using a computer.
Display Images and Sound Files in Calendar
Format!
With the Optio V10, you can display recorded images and sound files by
date in calendar format. (p.110) This lets you quickly find the image or
sound file you want to play back.
