Compact digital - 8.1 megapixels and affordable!
The affordable, easy-to-use Optio E40 offers 8.1 megapixels, a 3X optical lens,
Face Recognition technology and Digital Shake Reduction functions for
high-resolution photography. Even novice digital photographers will enjoy the
slim, lightweight body and the Simple mode selection dial. With a high
resolution 2.4 inch LCD, travel-compatible AA battery power, high quality AVI
Movie capture, the Optio E40 makes a perfect digital choice for newcomers.
Face Recognition AF&AE Function
PENTAX adds Face Recognition AF & AE technology to the Optio E40 to
automatically detect and focus on faces, regardless of where the people appear
in the photo frame. In addition, optimal exposure settings are set automatically
so that the areas with faces are not darkened even if there is backlighting.
8.1 Effective Megapixels Produce Exceptionally Fine-Detailed Photos
Despite being an entry-level camera, the Optio E40 delivers high-resolution
photos that look sharp even at large magnifications thanks to its 8.1 effective
megapixels, which precisely captures images down to the finest detail.
Digital SR (Shake Reduction)
A mode that reduces camera shake and blurring when photographing still images.
The sensitivity is adjusted automatically, to as high as ISO1000, to match the
brightness of the subjects. This enables photography with faster shutter speeds,
and images with less blurring can be obtained.
Auto Picture Mode
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 PENTAX original function makes
photography a lot easier for users since it eliminates the necessity of a number
of individual settings.
Compatibility With AA Batteries
Since the Optio E40 accepts widely available AA batteries, you can shoot with
confidence when away from home or whenever you want. Furthermore, the camera has
been designed specifically to use less power so that you can take approximately
240 photos when running on alkaline batteries.
Green Mode For Automated Setup
The Optio E40 comes with the Green mode to automate camera setup when shooting
still images and allow digital-camera beginners to enjoy effortless photography.
A single button press automatically sets the exposure, sensitivity, white
balance, and other parameters according to the shooting conditions. This
function is useful when asking someone else to take your picture or when you
lose track of camera settings.
3X Optical Zoom And 4X Digital Zoom
The Optio E40 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 travel photography to
portraits. Combined with 4X digital zoom, the Optio E40 achieves a total of
about 12X zoom capability.
