Camera Features
In addition to basic picture-taking, the Optio W80 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 fullest.
The Optio W80 is both waterproof
and dustproof. The water-
resistant coating on the lens
cover glass enables you to take
pictures underwater for two hours
at a depth of 5 meters (approx.
16.6 ft.). It also allows the camera
to be sprayed by water, and you
can use the camera in locations
where it will be exposed to dust
and dirt such as beaches,
kitchens, or workshops. Because
it utilizes a lock mechanism for the battery/card/terminal cover, when the
cover is firmly locked, you can use it underwater with the knowledge that
the batteries and card are also secure. The camera’s impact
resistance(*) performance satisfies PENTAX’s independent standard for
impact resistance, so it can be used in a wide variety of outdoor
activities.
* The camera satisfies the PENTAX drop test (1 m height onto a 5 cm
thick plywood surface) complying with MIL-Standard 810F Method
516.5-Shock testing.
• Waterproof performance is not guaranteed if the camera is exposed to
impact such as being dropped or hit.
• The camera is not guaranteed to be free of trouble or damages under
every condition.
