PENTAX Optio
DIGITAL CAMERA COLLECTION
INTERESTING IS ALL AROUND.
IT IS A SWEEPING VIEW. AN IMPULSIVE SMILE. AN INSPIRED PERSPECTIVE. IT IS ETERNAL. IT IS FLEETING. IT IS AVAILABLE FOR THE TAKING.
PENTAX Optio. Compact digital cameras are made for the everyday. But who says the everyday has to mean the ordinary? Equipped with the latest innovations in image capture technology, Optio cameras are specifically designed for the adventurous. For the smart. For the impulsive. For wherever your eyes, or your imagination, take you.
BUT DONT BE ADVERSE TO AN EXPERT OPINION. Auto Picture Mode. Dont fumble the shot. Auto Picture mode lets the camera determine the shooting conditions for landscape, portrait, night scene and normal modes and more, then choose the optimum settings for each subject.

BE BRAVE.

BE SPONTANEOUS.
YOU, AND YOU, AND YOU, AND UP TO 32. Advanced Face Recognition. In as little as 0.03 seconds, your Optio can detect and focus on up to 32 faces in a photo frame. It can even automatically shoot when your subject smiles, or warn you when they blink. Did someone say cheese?
Number of faces varies by camera. Blink Detection and Smile Capture may not be available on all models.

BE NIMBLE.

STEADY ON. Digital Shake Reduction. A creative eye and a firm hand do not always go together. The Digital Shake Reduction feature included in all Optios reduces camera shake and subject blur when photographing still images. By automatically selecting a higher sensitivity setting, the camera can use higher shutter speeds to capture the image. Optio cameras also include Movie Shake Reduction for smooth video capture.
