To users of this camera
• Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields.
Strong static charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as
radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage the stored data, or
affect the product’s internal circuitry and cause camera misoperation.
• The liquid crystal panel used in the display is manufactured using extremely
high precision technology. Although the level of functioning pixels is 99.99% or
better, you should be aware that 0.01% or fewer of the pixels may not illuminate
or may illuminate when they should not. However, this has no effect on the
recorded image.
• If you point the camera toward an object that is bright, a band of light may
appear on the screen display. This phenomenon is referred to as “smear” and
is not a malfunction of the camera.
• There is a possibility that the illustrations and the display screen in this manual
are different from the actual product.
• In this manual, both an SD Memory Card and an SDHC Memory Card are
referred to as SD Memory Cards hereafter.
• In this manual, the generic term “computer(s)” refers to either a Windows PC or
a Macintosh hereafter.
We have paid close attention to the safety of this product. When using
this product, we request your special attention regarding items marked

• When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network that is included in the
package. 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 when traveling). Pictures and sound 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.
• Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance.
Avoid storing in high temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the
battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s usage span.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is
recommended.
• The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for
the battery charger D-BC88. Do not use it with other devices.
• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not
leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a
cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles,
or ships.
• The temperature range for camera use is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to
normal at normal temperatures.
• The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due to
liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.
• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and
outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, and
remove it after temperature of the camera and surroundings are equalized.

Camera Features
In addition to basic picture-taking, the Optio P80 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.
You can also hold it vertically to take pictures as if it was a cellphone.
Even the buttons work like those on a cellphone, making picture taking
a breeze. The Optio P80 also makes it easy for you to collect your
favorite shots and show them to your friends.
The user-friendly design of the Optio
P80 enables easy operation with only a
few buttons. Simply by choosing the
appropriate icon, you can select the
shooting mode (p.69) and choose the
optimal settings for the situation, or the
playback mode (p.134, p.158) and
enjoy the various playback and editing
functions. A guide on the display lets
you check the functions available in
each mode and how to use them.
Easy Recording and Playback!
Easy-to-Navigate Capture and Playback

A shooting mode guide is displayed in the Capture Mode
Palette and a playback mode guide in the Playback Mode
Palette (p.69, p.134).
Use the Green Mode to take pictures easily using
standard settings (p.76).

15
The Optio P80 comes with a “Face Recognition” function that spots the
faces in your shot and automatically adjusts the focus and exposure for
the faces. It can recognize up to 32 people per shot (*), so it will help you
take perfect group shots too. It will automatically release the shutter
when people are smiling, or if anyone blinked, it will tell you that so you
can take the shot again until it is perfect. It also has a feature that lets
you enlarge each person’s face in sequence during playback so you can
quickly check their facial expressions.
* Up to 31 face recognition frames (up to 30 frames in Half-length
Portrait mode) are displayed on the monitor.
When you take a picture with the Optio
P80, you can choose from a wide range
of fun frames to create attractive framed
shots (p.91). 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 fitting into the frame (p.167).
With the Optio P80, you can display recorded images and sound files by
date in calendar format (p.133). This lets you quickly find the image or
sound file you want to play back.

camera shake during movie recording (p.126). And it enables you to
record movies in 1280×720 pixel (16:9) HDTV format (*) (p.125).
* When connecting to and playing back images on AV equipment,
image data is output at normal screen resolution. To view movies in
HDTV, transfer the data to a computer and play it back on the
computer.
The Optio P80 has a variety of
functions to let you enjoy playing
back and editing 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.158). And
no more worries about
accidentally deleting images,
because now, with the Optio P80,
you can recover them again
(p.151).
