 Pentax Z10 camera - Zoom lens
The new Pentax Optio Z10 digital compact camera includes a 7X optical zoom lens that covers focal lengths from 6.3 to 44.1mm (equivalent to 38-266mm for 35mm format) and features a refraction lens system so the lens never protrudes from the Pentax Z10 camera while zooming. This optical zoom covers a broad range, from wide-angle to telephoto zoom, and when used together with digital zoom, ultra high-magnification photography of up to approximately 35.7X is available.
Pentax Optio Z10 compact camera - Face Recognition and Resolution
The Pentax Z10 is equipped with the “Face Recognition AF&AE” function that automatically adjusts the focuses and sets the exposure, so users can take the photos of people easily and beautifully, by letting the camera do the work. In addition, this function can detect the faces of up to 15 peoples at once, and the detection time has been reduced to approximately 0.03 seconds at minimum. The Pentax Optio Z10 delivers high resolution photos that look sharp even at large magnifications, thanks to its 8.0 effective Megapixels and high performance Pentax lens, which precisely captures images down to the finest details.
Pentax Optio Z10 digital camera - Camera shake and Sensitivity
Digital SR (Shake Reduction) mode reduces camera shakes and blurring of the subject when photographing still images. The sensitivity is adjusted automatically, to as high as the ultrahigh sensitivity of ISO 3200, to match the brightness of the subjects. This enables photography with fast shutter speeds, and images with less blurs can be obtained. In addition, an electronic shake reduction function corrects blurring in images during image playback.
Pentax Optio 10 digicam - Scene photography
The Auto Picture mode lets the camera automatically determine the shooting conditions for Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, and Normal mode and choose the optimum settings for each subject. This function makes photography a lot easier for users since it eliminates the necessity of making a number of individual settings.
