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. Forget Your Worries About Water Getting in the Camera! The Optio W80 is both waterproof and dustproof. The waterresistant 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. 16
