High Quality Images
Featuring 8.1 effective megapixels, the Optio E50 features a new image
processing engine with increased processing performance and a high-performance
Pentax lens.
3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom
The Optio E50 features a 3x optical zoom lens with a focal range covering angles
of view equivalent to those of a 37.5-112.5mm lens in 35mm format, which is
ideal for a broad spectrum of subjects from landscapes to portraits. Combined
with a 4x digital zoom, the Optio E50 achieves a total of about 12x zoom
capability.
Face Recognition AF and AE
The Optio E50 is equipped with Face Recognition Auto Focus and Auto Exposure
function for easy, high-quality portraits. This convenient function
automatically detects faces, adjusts focus, and sets the optimum exposure
regardless of where subjects appear the screen. A maximum of 10 people may be
recognized at once and the faces are highlighted even in settings with
backlighting.
Digital Shake Reduction
Designed to reduce camera shake and subject blur when photographing still
images, this mode adjusts sensitivity automatically to as high as ISO 1600 to
match the brightness of the subject. This allows photography with fast shutter
speeds and images with less blur.
Auto Picture mode
With the Auto Picture mode, the Optio E50 will automatically determine the
optimum settings for various shooting conditions and subjects such as Landscape,
Portrait, Night Scene, and Normal modes. This Pentax original function makes
photography easier for newer users as it eliminates the need for individual
settings.
Green mode
The Optio E50 also features a Green mode to automate camera setup especially
for digital camera beginners. Press the Green mode button to automatically set
exposure, sensitivity, white balance, and other parameters according to the
shooting conditions. This function is useful when users allow others to take a
picture or when users lose track of camera settings.
AA battery power
Powered with AA batteries, the Optio E50 makes a perfect travel camera. Battery
life has been improved to allow up to 250 photographs per set of alkaline
batteries.
