• Do not discharge the flash while it is touching your clothing as there is a
risk of discoloring.
• If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with your eyes, do not
rub them. Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical attention
immediately.
• If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with skin or clothes,
wash the affected areas thoroughly with water.
• Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or
begins to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use, so please take care, as
there is a risk of low temperature burns if such portions are held for long
periods of time.
• Should the LCD be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be
careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or in your eyes or
in your mouth.

About the Battery Charger and the AC Adapter
Warning
• Do not use the product at a voltage other than the specified voltage. Use
with a power source or voltage other than that designed can cause a fire
or electrical shock. The specified voltage is 100-240V AC.
• Do not disassemble or modify the product. This can cause a fire or
electrical shock.
• If the generation of smoke or strange odor from the product or other
abnormality occurs, immediately discontinue using and consult a PENTAX
Service Center. Continuing to use the product can cause a fire or electrical
shock.
• If water should happen to get inside the product, consult a PENTAX
Service Center. Continuing to use the product can cause a fire or electrical
shock.

• If lightning should be present during use of the battery charger or AC
adapter, unplug the power cord and discontinue use. Continuing to use the
product can cause damage to the equipment, fire or electrical shock.
• Wipe off the plug of the power cord if it should become covered with dust.
This can cause a fire.

Caution
• Do not place heavy objects on the AC plug cord, allow heavy objects to
drop onto it or allow the AC plug cord to become damaged due to
excessive bending. If the AC plug cord becomes damaged, consult a
PENTAX Service Center.
• Do not short or touch the output terminals of the product while it is still
plugged in.
• Do not plug in the AC plug cord with wet hands. This can cause an
electrical shock.
• Do not subject the product to strong impacts or allow it to drop onto a hard
surface. This can cause a malfunction.
• Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other than rechargeable
lithium-ion battery D-LI8. This can cause overheating or malfunctions.

Care to be Taken During Handling
• Take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the package
with you when traveling. 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 during traveling). Contents of the recording 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.
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or
benzene.
• Places of high temperature and humidity should be avoided. Particular
care should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot
inside.
• Storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled should be
avoided. Remove from case and store in a well-ventilated place to prevent
the camera from becoming moldy during storage.
3

• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks
or pressure as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof
performance. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the
camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the
camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take
your camera to your nearest PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C
(32°F to 104°F).
• The liquid crystal display will become black at a high temperature but will
return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.
• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low
temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not
a fault.
• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain
high performance.
• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation
may form on the inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the
camera in a bag or plastic bag, and take the camera out when the
difference in temperature has subsided.
• Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card” (p.30) regarding
the SD Memory Card.
• Please note that formatting an SD memory card or built-in memory will
delete all data; however it may still be possible to recover that data using
off-the-shelf data recovery software. Please manage your camera’s
memory at your own risk.
• Please do not press forcefully on the LCD monitor. This could cause
breakage 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 LCD monitor.
• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten
the screw in the tripod socket on the camera.
• The AC plug cord supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with the
battery charger D-BC8. Do not use it with any other equipment.

Waterproof and Dustproof Function
• This camera has been proven to comply with JIS Class 8 waterproof
performance and Class 5 dustproof performance (IP58).
• To enhance the waterproof performance of the camera, the front of the lens
is protected by glass. As any dirt or water on the glass will affect the quality
of pictures taken, the glass should be kept clean at all times.
• Do not place the camera directly on the sand at the beach or similar places.
• The camera will sink if dropped in water, so be sure to attach the strap and
slip the strap over your wrist when using the camera in or near water.
• Be sure to check that the battery/card cover is securely locked before using
the camera in an environment where it is likely to get wet or dirty, such as
underwater or at the beach. Water, sand or dirt inside the camera may
cause failure of the camera. Wipe off any water or dirt with a dry cloth as
soon as possible after using the camera.
• Avoid opening the battery/card cover at the beach or by the sea. Wait until
the camera is completely dry before changing the battery or the SD
Memory Card. Avoid changing the battery or card where the camera is
likely to get wet or dirty, and make sure that your hands are dry.
• If the camera is very dirty or after it has been used in the sea, make sure
that it is turned off and the battery/card cover is firmly closed before rinsing
it under running tap water or leaving it in a bowl of clean water for a short
time (2 or 3 minutes).
• Avoid cleaning with agents such as soap water, mild detergents, and
alcohol as this may compromise the waterproof performance of the
camera.
• Wipe off any dirt or sand on the waterproof packing or the packing contact
surface. The camera’s waterproof function may be compromised by loose
packing, or cracks or dents in the packing or packing contact surface. If
there is any such damage, contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center.
• To maintain the waterproof performance of the camera, you are
recommended to change the waterproof packing once a year. Contact your
nearest PENTAX Service Center regarding changing the packing. (A
charge will be made.)
• Avoid subjecting the camera to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure
as this may cause a loss in waterproof performance. If the camera is
subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera
to your nearest PENTAX Service Center and have it checked.
• Avoid getting sunscreen or sun oil on the camera as it may cause
discoloration of the surface. If any oil gets on the camera, wash it off
immediately with warm water.
• The waterproof function does not apply to the camera’s accessories.

Camera Features
In addition to basic picture-taking, the Optio W10 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 Optio W10 has high
waterproof performance that lets
you take pictures continuously for
30 minutes 1.5 m (5 ft.)
underwater. The lock mechanism
of the battery/card cover is
designed for underwater picturetaking. (p.72)

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!

Advanced Movie Recording and Picture Taking
Functions
The Optio W10 has an anti-shake function to prevent camera shake
during movie recording. (p.111) You can also take pictures while
recording a movie. (p.106)
For recording the action of sporting events as a movie
while capturing the winning shot in a picture.
12

Record Sound Before and After Taking Pictures!

With the Optio W10, 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.74)
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.

Add Fun Frames to Your Pictures!
With the Optio W10, you can add a fun
frame when taking a picture of a child
or your pet, for example. (p.67) 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. (p.139)
For decorating your pictures
with a frame.
13

Easy-to-Navigate Capture and Playback
Functions!

The user-friendly design of the Optio W10 enables easy operation with
only a few buttons. Simply by choosing the appropriate icon, you can
select Shooting mode (p.53) and choose the optimal settings for the
situation, or Playback mode (p.113, p.131) and enjoy the various
playback and editing functions. A guide on the LCD monitor lets you
check the functions available in each mode and how to use them. (p.62)
Press the Green button while the Capture Mode Palette
or Playback Mode Palette is displayed to display the
guide. (p.62)
Use the Green Mode to take pictures easily using
standard settings. (p.64)

Display Images and Sound Files in Calendar
Format!
With the Optio W10, you can display recorded images and sound files by
date in calendar format. (p.115) This lets you quickly find the image or
sound file you want to play back.

Perfect Size for Carrying Around With You!
With its compact, stylish design, the
Optio W10 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.178)

Enjoy Playback and Editing Functions Without a
Computer!
The Optio W10 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.131) And no more
worries about accidentally
deleting images, because now,
with the Optio W10, you can
recover them again. (p.128)

The wide range of editing functions includes resizing
(p.131), trimming (p.133), changing the color (p.136) and
adjusting the brightness. (p.137)
If your subject’s eyes appear red in the picture, you can correct
them while the image is displayed in Playback mode. (p.138)

Recorded Pixels and Quality Level of Still Pictures

Recorded Pixels

1
Getting Started

Choose the number of pixels (size) and quality level (data compression
rate) of still pictures according to how you intend to use the pictures you
have taken.
Higher quality levels and numbers of pixels produce clearer images, but
the resulting increase in data volume reduces the total number of
pictures that can be taken (stored in the camera’s built-in memory or on
the SD Memory Card).
The quality of the captured photo or printed picture also depends on the
quality level, exposure compensation, resolution of the printer and a
variety of other factors, so you do not need to select more than the
required number of pixels. As a rough guide, i (1600×1200) is
adequate for making postcard-size prints. Refer to the table below for the
appropriate settings according to use.

Taking Pictures

[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 (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) 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.138).

You can choose from seven recorded pixels settings for still pictures.
The larger your recorded pixels, the clearer the details will appear when
you print your picture. As the quality of the printed picture also depends
on the image quality, exposure control, resolution of the printer and other
factors, you do not need to select more than the required number of
recorded pixels. i (1600×1200) is adequate for making postcard-size
prints. The more pixels there are, the larger the picture and the bigger
the file size. The data volume also varies depending on the quality level
setting (p.91).

• When a stitched movie is played back, it may appear to stop for
about one second at the point where the two movies were joined.
This is because, in Movie Edit mode, the movie data is edited in
units of one second, so if the last frame of the first movie lasts less
than one second, it is drawn out to one second when it is joined to
the second movie.
• When two movies are joined together, the second movie file is
deleted.

Setting the Printing Service (DPOF)
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is the format for storing print order
data on still pictures captured with a digital camera. Once the print order
data has been stored, the pictures can be printed according to the DPOF
settings using a DPOF-compatible printer or photo processing lab.
You cannot store print order data for movies or sound-only files.

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
194

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.
