Card out of the reach of small children. Seek medical attention immediately

if a card is accidentally swallowed.

• Wrapping the strap of the camera around your neck is also dangerous.

Please take care that small children do not hang the strap around their

necks.

• Use an AC adapter that is of the power and voltage specified for exclusive

use with this product. The use of an AC adapter other than that specified

exclusively for use with this product may cause fire or electric shocks.

irregularity, stop using the camera immediately, remove the battery and

contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center. Continued use of the

camera may result in fire or electric shock.

battery in a fire, as it may explode.

• Do not charge any batteries other than rechargeable lithium-ion battery

D-LI8. The battery could explode or catch fire.

• Do not place your finger on the flash when it is discharging as there is a

risk of burns.

• 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.

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.

About the Battery Charger and the AC Adapter

• 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.

• 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.

Care to be Taken During Handling

• 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.

• 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.

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.

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 picture-

taking. (p.72)

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)

Forget Your Worries About Water Getting in the Camera!

Advanced Movie Recording and Picture Taking

Functions

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!

For recording the action of sporting events as a movie

while capturing the winning shot in a picture.

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)

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)

Record Sound Before and After Taking Pictures!

Add Fun Frames to Your Pictures!

the camera”

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

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.

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

(p.178)

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)

prohibiting recording of new data, deletion

of existing data or formatting of the card.

r appears on the LCD monitor 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.

• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the camera off while data is

being saved to the card, images or sound files are being played back, 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. PENTAX does 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 card has not been used for a long time.

(4) when the card is ejected or the battery is removed while the data on the

card is being recorded or accessed.

• The SD Memory Card has a limited service life. 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

memory, or shooting and playback may take a long time.

• For information on compatible SD Memory Cards, visit the PENTAX website

or contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center.

Write-protect

switch

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.

Appropriate Number of Recorded Pixels According to Use

The default setting is P (2816×2112).

•V (1280×960) can only be set for recorded pixels when R mode is set.

Appropriate Quality Level According to Use

The default setting is D (Better).

Taking Pictures

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

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.

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.

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).

Bright portions blink red on the LCD monitor and dark portions blink yellow.

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.

[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.

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).

Stitching Movies

• 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.

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.

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

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.
