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. Avoid contact with garbage, dirt, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, salt, etc. as this may cause damage to the camera. If rain or drops of water get onto the camera, please wipe dry. Refer to Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card (p.22) regarding the SD Memory Card. 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.

Pentax OptioSV 5.0 Effective Megapixel / 5X Optical Zoom
The new Pentax OptioSV is a compact digital camera with 5X optical zoom and the image quality of 5.0 effective megapixels. Its compact dimensions are made possible through use of the unique Sliding Lens System which makes a significant difference to the depth of the entire camera. It is a camera with a revolutionary reduction in size. It is designed in line with the same basic development concept as all other Pentax Digital Cameras of having excellent portability and easy of use, the OptioSV also delivers a powerfully high zoom ratio and achieves outstanding image quality. Major Features 1. Compact dimensions with a 5X optical zoom Sliding Lens System The OptioSV incorporates a 5X optical zoom Sliding Lens System, which is a further refined version of the Sliding Lens System employed in the Optio S launched last year. The Sliding Lens System offsets the central lens groups from the optical axis and houses them in two steps in the lens cylinder. The result is a significant reduction in lens length and drastically minimised body depth. Furthermore, Pentax expertise in mounting assists in the achievement of minimised dimensions through maximum space efficiency. As a result, the OptioSV boasts the body dimensions of 91.5 (W) x 56 (H) x 28 (D) mm and weighs a mere 150 grams thus constituting an impressive reduction in both size and weight. 2. Excellent image quality The OptioSV delivers the high-level image quality consumers have learned to expect only from Pentax. It incorporates a 1 / 2.5 inch CCD with 5.36 total megapixels and uses a primary colour filter. The OptioSV also employs a high-contrast smc Pentax lens renowned for high-level clarity. It is made up of 10 elements in 8 groups and includes two aspherical lenses. It is also highly effective in compensating for spherical and other forms of aberration, while its unique coating reduces ghost and flare to a bare minimum. Furthermore, the newly developed ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) reinforces image processing performance to deliver more natural gradations and vivid colour compensation. 3. Flexible composition with 5X optical zoom The OptioSV incorporates a 5.8mm 29mm 5X optical zoom lens offering a focal range covering angles of view equivalent to those of a 36mm 180mm lens in 35mm format. With its generous zooming range it offers impressive compositional freedom and it can also be combined with 4X digital zoom, to offer up to 20X total zooming capability. The Optio SV additionally features Super macro mode, which allows the user to shoot from as close as 3 cm from the subject.
4. Simple selection of shooting modes For intuitive mode selection, the OptioSV employs a mode dial. By turning the dial, the user can simply choose Program, PICT (picture), Night Scene, Movie, Voice recording, USER and M (Manual) modes. The user can also select PICT mode to activate the mode palette function, which displays icons for all 12 picture modes at once on the LCD monitor to enable easier selection of the desired mode. 5. High-quality aluminium alloy body The exterior of the OptioSV is created from aluminium alloy and has an attractive appearance. For the front, this alloy has been treated to give it a hairline texture that catches the light in an attractive manner and the camera also features a rubber grip with a linear design. Such a simple approach to styling not only makes the OptioSV more attractive, it is also highly practical. 6. Function settings tailored to individual users A handy short cut function allows the user to gain fast access to settings for recording image size, white balance, sensitivity and other frequently used functions. The M (Manual) position on the mode dial can also be altered to function as Tv (Shutter-priority AE) or Av (Aperture-priority AE) according to user preferences. All of these settings can be accessed through use of the Fn (Function) button and the stick lever, and such customised operation makes the OptioSV even more user friendly overall. Large, easy-to-see 1.8 inch LCD monitor 7. Despite its highly portable and compact dimensions, the OptioSV features a large, 1.8 inch TFT LCD monitor with approximately 118,000 pixels. This makes it easy to confirm composition, focusing and other elements as well as enabling the viewing of recorded shots anywhere. 8. USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) Compatibility Among digital cameras, the number of recording pixels increases and recording media capacity continues to grow. Responding to such trends, not only does the OptioSV offer the clarity of 5 megapixels, but it also delivers smooth image data transfer at high speeds too, with transfer rates that are accelerated further when used with PCs featuring a USB2.0 port. 9. Battery stand that charges spare batteries as well as ones still in the camera wherever you are in the world The battery stand is capable of charging batteries while they are still inside the camera. Whats more, it can also house spare batteries too, which begin charging as soon as the ones inside the camera are fully charged. Compatible with 100V to 240V (50/60Hz) current, it also ensures smooth charging wherever the user travels around the world when used with the appropriate adapters.

9. Other Features Movie recording with sound, voice recorder function. Connectivity to a TV via AV cable. 5 types of auto bracketing (exposure, white balance, sharpness, colour saturation, contrast). Built-in auto flash with red-eye reduction function. SD memory card compatibility. Actual-image optical viewfinder. World time function (for 68 cities around the world).
ACDSee for Pentax standard image viewer and ACD Showtime for Pentax movie editing software. PictBridge compatibility. DPOF, Exif Print and Print Image Matching III compatibility.
