To users of this camera  
• There is a possibility that recorded data may be erased or that the  
camera may not function correctly when used in surroundings such as  
installations generating strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic  
fields.  
• 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.

Caution  
About the Camera  
Warning  
• Do not attempt to take the camera apart or remodel the camera. High  
voltages are present within the camera, and there is therefore a danger of  
electric shocks if the camera is taken apart.  
• If the inside of the camera should become exposed as a result of, for  
example, the camera being dropped, please do not under any  
circumstances touch such exposed portions, as there is a danger of  
receiving an electric shock.  
• To avoid the risk of it being swallowed by mistake, keep the SD Memory  
Card out of the reach of small children. Seek medical attention immediately  
if a card is accidentally swallowed.

• Wrapping the strap of the camera around your neck is also dangerous.  
Please take care that small children do not hang the strap around their  
necks.  
• If the camera emits smoke or a strange smell, or in the event of any other  
irregularity, stop using the camera immediately, remove the batteries and  
contact your nearest PENTAX Service Center. Continued use of the  
camera may result in fire or electric shock.  
Caution  
• Never try to disassemble or short the batteries. Also, do not dispose of the  
batteries in a fire, as they may explode.  
• Do not charge any batteries other than rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. The  
batteries could explode or catch fire. Batteries for use with this camera  
other than Ni-MH batteries cannot be charged.  
• Do not place your finger on the flash when it is discharging as there is a  
risk of burns.  
• Do not discharge the flash while it is touching your clothing as there is a  
risk of discoloring.  
• If any leakage from the batteries should come in contact with your eyes, do  
not rub them. Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical attention  
immediately.  
• If any leakage from the batteries should come in contact with skin or  
clothes, wash the affected areas thoroughly with water.  
• Remove the batteries from the camera immediately if they become hot or  
begin to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.  
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use, so please take care, as  
there is a risk of low temperature burns if such portions are held for long  
periods of time.  
• Should the LCD be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be  
careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or in your eyes or  
in your mouth.  
• Depending on your inherent factors or physical condition, the use of the  
camera may cause itching, rashes or blisters. In case of any abnormality,  
stop using the camera and get medical attention immediately.  
Handling Precautions for Batteries  
• This camera uses two AA alkaline, AA lithium or AA Ni-MH batteries. Do  
not use batteries other than those specified here. Using some other type of  
battery may cause the camera to function poorly, or the batteries may  
rupture or cause a fire.

• AA alkaline and AA lithium batteries cannot be recharged. Do not try to  
take the batteries apart. The batteries may rupture or leak if you try to  
charge them or take them apart.  
• Do not remove the external seal of the battery. If the seal is removed, the  
battery may short and may cause a fire, rupture, leak or heat.  
• When replacing the batteries, do not combine different brands, types or  
capacities. Also, do not combine old batteries with new ones. Doing so may  
cause the batteries to rupture or cause a fire.  
• Do not insert the batteries with the positive (+) and negative (–) poles in the  
wrong orientation. Doing so may cause the batteries to rupture or cause a  
fire.  
About the AC Adapter  
Warning  
• Use an AC adapter that is of the power and voltage specified for exclusive  
use with this product. The use of an AC adapter other than that specified  
exclusively for use with this product may cause fire or electric shocks.  
• During thunderstorms, unplug and discontinue use of the AC adapter.  
Continued use could cause equipment failure, a fire, or electric shock.  
Caution  
• Do not place heavy objects on the AC plug cord, allow heavy objects to  
drop onto it or allow the AC plug cord to become damaged due to  
excessive bending. If the AC plug cord becomes damaged, consult a  
PENTAX Service Center.  
• Do not short or touch the output terminals of the product while it is still  
plugged in.  
• Do not plug in the AC plug cord with wet hands. This can cause an  
electrical shock.  
• Do not subject the product to strong impacts or allow it to drop onto a hard  
surface. This can cause a malfunction.  
• To reduce the risk of hazards, use only CSA/UL Certified power supply  
cord set, cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper,  
one end with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified  
NEMA configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female  
connector body (with a specified IEC nonindustrial type configuration) or  
the equivalent.

Care to be Taken During Handling  
• 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 during traveling). Contents of the recording 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.  
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.  
• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or  
benzene.  
• Places of high temperature and humidity should be avoided. Particular  
care should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot  
inside.  
• Storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled should be  
avoided. Remove the camera from its case and store in a well-ventilated  
place to prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage.  
• As this camera is not waterproof, do not use the camera where it may come  
in contact with rain, water or any other liquid.  
• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks  
or pressure as this may cause damage or malfunction. Place the camera  
on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations  
of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the camera is subjected to substantial  
vibrations, shocks or pressure, take your camera to your nearest PENTAX  
Service Center and have it checked.  
• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C  
(32°F to 104°F).  
• The liquid crystal display will become black at a high temperature but will  
return to normal when normal temperatures are returned to.  
• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low  
temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not  
a fault.  
• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain  
high performance.

• 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.  
• Be careful not to allow dirt, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases or salt to  
enter the camera as this may damage the camera. Wipe away any  
raindrops or water droplets and allow the camera to dry.  
• Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card” (p.34) regarding  
the SD Memory Card.  
• Please note that formatting an SD Memory Card or the built-in memory will  
delete all data; however it may still be possible to recover that data using  
off-the-shelf data recovery software. Please manage your camera memory  
at your own risk.  
• Please do not press forcefully on the display. 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 display.  
• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten  
the screw in the tripod socket on the camera.

Camera Features  
In addition to basic picture-taking, the Optio E70 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.  
Advanced Movie Recording and Picture Taking  
Functions  
The Optio E70 has a shake reduction function to reduce camera shake  
during movie recording (p.102).  
  Use the camera to shoot fun-filled movies of your  
children or pets as a visual diary of their development  
(p.99).  
Perfect for Portrait Shots!  
The Optio E70 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. 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 15 face recognition frames are displayed on the monitor.  
  Face Recognition function (p.65)  
  Modes for taking stunning pictures of people (p.76)  
  Face Close-up Playback for easy checking during  
playback (p.117)

Add Various Frames to Your Pictures!  
When you take a picture with the Optio  
E70, you can choose from a wide range of  
fun frames to create attractive framed  
shots (p.81). You can also add frames to  
pictures you have taken and 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 being aligned in the frame (p.141).  
  For decorating your pictures  
with a frame.  
Easy-to-Navigate Capture and Playback  
Functions!  
The user-friendly design of the Optio  
E70 enables easy operation with only a  
few buttons. Simply by choosing the  
appropriate icon, you can select the  
shooting mode (p.63) and choose the  
optimal settings for the situation, or the  
playback mode (p.111, p.134) 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.  
  A shooting mode guide is displayed in the Capture Mode  
Palette and a playback mode guide in the Playback Mode  
Palette (p.63, p.111).

back.  
A multitude of functions inside the camera for  
enjoying images without a Computer!  
The Optio E70 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 (p.134). And no more  
worries about accidentally deleting  
images, because now, with the Optio  
E70, you can recover them again  
(p.126).

• If the batteries have been removed from the camera for a long time,  
when they are reinserted and the camera is turned on, the message  
[Battery depleted] may appear. This can also happen when using the  
camera for the first time; however this is not a malfunction. Turn the  
camera off, wait a minute and then turn the camera on again to reset  
the camera. The date and time may also be reset.  
• Insert the batteries correctly. If the batteries are incorrectly oriented,  
malfunction may result. If the ends of the batteries look dirty, wipe  
them before inserting into the camera.  
• Be careful as the camera or the batteries may become hot when the  
camera is used continuously for a long period of time.

• In general, battery performance may temporarily deteriorate as the  
temperature decreases. Be sure to take spare batteries when using  
the camera in a cold region and keep the batteries warm by placing  
them in your pocket or inside your coat. Battery performance that has  
deteriorated due to cold temperature will return to normal performance  
when the batteries reach room temperature.  
• Due to their characteristics, AA alkaline batteries may not allow the  
camera to make full use of its capabilities when used at cold  
temperatures. Use of AA lithium or AA Ni-MH batteries is  
recommended when the camera is used at cold temperatures.  
• Be sure to take spare batteries with you when traveling abroad or to a  
cold region, or if you intend to take a lot of pictures.

Installing the SD Memory Card  
This camera uses either an SD Memory Card or an SDHC Memory Card.  
(Both cards are referred to as SD Memory Cards hereafter.) Captured  
images are saved on the SD Memory Card if a card is inserted in the  
camera. They are saved in the built-in memory if a card is not inserted  
(p.36).

• Be sure to use this camera to format (initialize) an SD Memory  
Card that is unused or has been used on other cameras or digital  
devices. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card” (p.156) for  
instructions on formatting.  
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing  
the SD Memory Card.  
• The still picture storage capacity varies depending on the capacity of  
the SD Memory Card and the selected number of recorded pixels  
(p.35).  
• The self-timer lamp blinks while the SD Memory Card is being  
accessed (data is being recorded or read).  
Backing Up Data  
The camera may not be able to access data in the built-in memory in the case  
of a malfunction. Use a computer or other device to back up important data in

Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card  
• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a write-  
protect switch. Setting the switch to LOCK  
prevents new data from being recorded on the  
card, the stored data from being deleted, and  
the card from being formatted by the camera or

switch  
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.  
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the camera off while images are  
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 card has not been used for a long time.  
(4) when the card is ejected or the batteries are 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.  
• For information on compatible SD Memory Cards, visit the PENTAX website.  
• Be sure to format an SD Memory Card that is unused or has been used on  
another camera. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card” (p.156).  
•
Please note that formatting the SD Memory Card will not necessarily delete the  
data so that it cannot be recovered using off-the-shelf data recovery software.  
There are off-the-shelf secure data deletion software programs available that will  
completely delete the data. If you are going to discard, give away or sell your SD  
Memory Card, you should ensure that the data on the card is completely deleted  
or the card itself is destroyed if it contains any personal or sensitive information. In  
any case, the data on your SD Memory Card should be managed at your own risk.

cases, lock the focus on an object the same distance away as the subject (by  
pressing and holding the shutter release button halfway), then aim the camera  
at your subject and press the shutter release button fully.  
• Objects that lack contrast such as a blue sky or white wall  
• Dark places or objects, or conditions that prevent light being reflected back  
• Horizontal lines or intricate patterns

• When the Face Recognition function (p.65) does not work, Blink Detection  
also does not function. Even if the subject’s faces are recognized, Blink  
Detection may not function depending on the condition of the recognized  
faces.  
• You can also disable Blink Detection function (p.97).

If the subject in the face recognition frame  
moves, the frame also moves and changes size  
as it tracks the face.

The Face Recognition function can recognize up  
to 32 people’s faces. If it recognizes multiple  
faces, the camera displays a yellow frame over  
the main face and white frames over the other

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 d (Flash On + Red-eye) 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.140).

Selecting the Recorded Pixels  
You can choose from seven recorded pixels settings for still pictures.  
The larger your recorded pixels, the clearer the details will appear when  
you print your picture. As the quality of the printed picture also depends  
on the image quality, exposure control, resolution of the printer and other  
factors, you do not need to select more than the required number of  
recorded pixels. h (2048×1536) is adequate for making postcard-size  
prints. The more pixels there are, the larger the picture and the bigger  
the file size.(z is higher in quality than N)

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.
