Camera Features

In addition to basic picture-taking, the OptioWPi 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.

Forget Your Worries About Water Getting in the

Camera!

The OptioWPi has high waterproof performance that lets you take pictures continuously for 30 minutes 1.5 m underwater. The lock mechanism of the battery/card cover is designed for underwater picture-

taking. (p.70)

For taking pictures while snorkeling.

For taking pictures at the pool or while playing in a river or lake.

For taking pictures while enjoying various outdoor activities without worrying about your camera getting a bit dirty. A quick wipe with a wet cloth is all it needs!

Record Sound Before and After Taking Pictures!

With the OptioWPi, not only can you add a voice memo to a still picture, but by switching to Synchro Sound Record mode, the surrounding sounds are automatically captured until you press the shutter release button to take the picture. A total of 20 seconds of sound, 10 seconds before and 10 seconds after the shutter release button is pressed, are

saved. (p.71)

For recording yourself saying “Say cheese!” or “Look at the camera”.

For including the cheers of the crowd at exciting moments of a sporting event.

Choose a Frame Before Taking the Picture!

The OptioWPi lets you choose a frame and display it on the screen before you take the picture, so you can be sure that the frame complements your subject perfectly.

(p.74) Of course, you can still use the

editing functions to add a frame

afterwards. (p.130)

For decorating your pictures with a frame.

Easy-to-Navigate Capture and Playback

Functions!

The user-friendly design of the OptioWPi enables easy operation with the minimum number of buttons on the camera body. Simply by choosing the

appropriate icon, you can select Capture mode (p.53) and choose the

optimal settings for the situation, or Playback mode (p.104, p.122) and

enjoy the various playback and editing functions. Pressing the Green button displays a guide on the LCD monitor to let you check the functions

available in each mode and how to use them. (p.62)

Press the Green button while the Mode Palette is

displayed to display the guide. (p.62)

Use the Green mode to take pictures easily using

standard settings. (p.64)

Perfect Size for Carrying Around With You!

With its compact, stylish design, the OptioWPi is just right to slip into a pocket of your bag or hang round your neck, so you always have it with you, like your cell phone. It has a useful clock function, “Clock Mode”, for telling

the time too. (p.167)

Enjoy Playback and Editing Functions Without a

Computer!

The OptioWPi lets you play back and edit 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.122)

And no more worries about accidentally deleting images, because now,

with the OptioWPi, you can recover them again. (p.119)

The wide range of editing functions includes resizing

(p.122), trimming (p.124), changing the color (p.127) and

adjusting the brightness (p.128).

If your subject’s eyes appear red in the picture, you can correct them while the image is displayed in Playback

mode. (p.129)

You can divide a movie into two, stitch two movies together or select a frame from a movie to save as a still

picture. (p.132)
