Camera Features
In addition to basic picture-taking, the Optio W20 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.
In addition to being certified for
water resistance for thirty
minutes at a depth of 1.5 meters
(5 ft.), the Optio W20 is also
certified as dustproof (JIS Class
5) so that you can use the
camera in locations where it will
be exposed to dust and dirt such
as the beach, in a kitchen, a
workshop, etc. Because it utilizes
a lock mechanism for the battery/
card cover, when the cover is
firmly locked, you can use it underwater safe in the knowledge that the
batteries and card are also secure. (p.72)
The Optio W20 has an anti-shake function to prevent camera shake
during movie recording. (p.112) You can also take pictures while
recording a movie. (p.107)
