Ease of Use (7.25)
The Optio W10 is made to be easy for casual users, and its Green Button provides an escape hatch for users who accidentally stray into manual controls. Unfortunately, the W10's manual features are cumbersome to access. Its interface is very thoroughly adapted for users who prefer automated settings.
