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

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.  
• In this manual, the term “battery(ies)” refers to any type of batteries used for this  
camera and its accessories.

Care to be Taken During Handling  
Before Using Your Camera  
• When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing 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, movies and sound files 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.  
About the Battery and Charger  
• 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 life.  
• 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-BC92. Do not use it with other devices.  
Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera  
• 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.  
5
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
• 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 the temperature of the camera and surroundings are  
equalized.  
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts.  
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off  
any rain or water drops.  
• Please do not press forcefully on the monitor. This could cause it to break  
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 display.  
• Be careful not to overtighten the tripod screw when using a tripod.  
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.  
Cleaning Your Camera  
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or  
benzine.  
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use a  
spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.  
Storing Your Camera  
• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in high  
temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera.  
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated  
location.  
Other Precautions  
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain  
high performance.  
• Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card” (p.39) regarding  
the SD Memory Card.  
• Please note that deleting images or sound files, or formatting the SD  
Memory Cards or the built-in memory does not completely erase the  
original data. Deleted files can sometimes be recovered using  
commercially available software. It is user’s responsibility to ensure the  
privacy of such data.

In addition to basic picture-taking, the Optio RZ10 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.

Perfect for Portrait Shots!  
The Optio RZ10 comes with a “Face Detection” function that spots the  
faces in your shot and automatically adjusts the focus and exposure for  
the faces. It can detect 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 detection frames are displayed on the monitor.  
Face Detection function (p.72)  
Modes for taking stunning pictures of people (p.82)  
Close-ups of faces for easy checking during playback  
(p.144)  
Add Various Frames to Your Pictures!  
When you take a picture with the Optio  
RZ10, you can choose from a wide  
range of fun frames to create attractive  
framed shots (p.90). 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).  
For decorating your pictures  
with a frame  
Display Images and Sound Files in Calendar Format!  
With the Optio RZ10, you can display recorded images and sound files  
by date in calendar format (p.135). This lets you quickly find the image  
or sound file you want to play back.

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.

or pets as a visual diary of their development (p.125).  
A Multitude of Functions Inside the Camera for  
Enjoying Images Without a Computer!  
The Optio RZ10 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).  
Resize (p.158), Cropping (p.159) and Red-eye  
Compensation (p.166) can be used, while the image is  
displayed in the playback mode.  
You can divide a movie into two or select a frame from a  
movie to save it as a still picture (p.171).

Using the Histogram  
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  
(Dark)  
←Brightness→ (Bright)  
contrast are correct or not, and lets you decide if you need to adjust the  
exposure and take a picture again.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
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.  
Dark image  
Correct image  
Bright image  
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).  
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.

computer.  
r appears on the display 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.  
• Keep the card cover closed and do not remove or turn the camera off while  
the data is being played back or saved to the card, 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. We do 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 SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.  
(4) when the SD Memory Card is ejected or the battery is removed while the  
data on the card is being recorded or accessed.  
• 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  
stop while you are taking movies even when there is adequate space in the  
memory, or shooting and playback may take a long time.  
• Be sure to format SD Memory Cards that are unused or have been used on  
another camera. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card” (p.188).

Using the Face Detection Function  
With the Optio RZ10, the Face Detection  
function is available with all shooting modes.  
When the camera detects a person’s face in the  
image, the Face Detection function displays a  
yellow face detection frame around the face on  
the display screen, sets the focus (Face  
Detection AF) and compensates the exposure  
(Face Detection AE).

If the subject in the face detection frame moves,  
the frame also moves and changes its own size  
as it tracks the face.  
The Face Detection function can detect up to  
32 people’s faces. If it detects multiple faces,  
the camera displays a yellow frame over the  
main face and white frame(s) over the other  
face(s). It can display up to a total of 31 frames,  
including a main frame and white frame(s).

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 or d 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.166).

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.  
If the picture already has the date and/or time imprinted on it (p.120), do  
not set [Date] to O (On) in DPOF setting. If you select O, the imprinted  
date and/or time may overlap.

• When you intend to use a brand-new Eye-Fi card for the first time,  
copy the Eye-Fi Manager installation file to your computer before  
formatting the card.  
• Images are transferred via wireless LAN. Set [Eye-Fi] to P (Off), or do  
not use an Eye-Fi card in locations where the use of wireless LAN  
devices is restricted or prohibited, such as on airplanes.  
• An error message appears on the display if an old version Eye-Fi card  
is inserted.  
• Images will not be transferred in the following situations:  
- When available wireless LAN access points cannot be found  
- When the battery level is low (the color of the battery level indicator  
is red)  
• Voice recording sound files cannot be transferred.  
• Transferring a large number of images may take a while. Use of the  
optional AC adapter kit (K-AC92) is recommended.  
• Auto Power Off does not function while transferring images.  
• The camera may be turned off automatically to protect the internal  
components when the inside of the camera reaches a high  
temperature caused by transferring a large file such as a movie.  
• Use of a wireless access point, Internet and suitable Internet setting  
are required to transfer images via wireless LAN. For more  
information, refer to the website (http://www.eye.fi/).  
• Refer to the instruction manual on how to use an Eye-Fi card.  
• In case of malfunction of an Eye-Fi card, refer to the manufacturer of  
the card.  
• Operation is not guaranteed for all Eye-Fi card functions, regardless of  
whether this camera has the function of turning ON or OFF the  
wireless communication of an Eye-Fi card.  
• Use of an Eye-Fi card is permitted only in the country where the Eye-  
Fi card is purchased. Observe local and national regulations of the  
country where the card is to be used.

Problem  
Cause  
Remedy  
The camera may have difficulty in  
focusing on such subjects as: low  
contrast subjects (a white wall, a blue  
sky, etc.), dark subjects, finely-patterned  
objects, rapidly-moving objects. It is also  
difficult to get proper focus when  
shooting through a window or a net. Try  
shooting using the focus lock (p.68), or  
adjust the focus manually (Manual  
Focus) (p.104).  
The subject is difficult  
to focus on with  
autofocus  
The subject is not  
in focus  
Locate the desired subject in the focus  
frame (focusing area) in the center of the  
display. If it is difficult to do so, first lock  
the focus on the desired subject (focus  
lock), and then move the camera to  
recompose.  
The subject is not in  
the focusing area  
The flash mode is set  
to a  
Set to , (Auto) or b (Flash On) (p.101).

The focus mode is set The flash does not discharge in these  
to s  
modes.  
The shooting mode is

Very occasionally, static electricity may cause camera malfunction. In  
this case, remove the battery and install it again. If the camera is then  
working properly, normal condition is restored and you can continue  
using the camera.

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  
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.
