The user-friendly design of the Optio
WS80 enables easy operation with
only a few buttons. Simply by choosing
the appropriate icon, you can select
the shooting mode (p.73) and choose
the optimal settings for the situation, or
the playback mode (p.140, p.162) 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.
The Optio WS80 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, 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 recognition frames (up to 30 frames in Half-length
Portrait mode) are displayed on the monitor.
