Product Description

Take your underwater images to a new depth.
3X optical zoom lens and 7.1 effective megapixels deliver
outstanding pictures
The Optio W30 includes a 3X optical zoom lens that covers focal lengths from 6.3
to 18.9 mm (equivalent to 38 to 114 mm for 35mm film) and features a refraction
lens system so the lens never protrudes from the camera while zooming. By
harnessing the full power of the 7.1 effective megapixels, the Optio W30
produces extremely high-quality
prints with crisp detail even when the photo is greatly enlarged.
Enhanced waterproof function
With an enhanced design, the Optio W30 waterproof performance capacity has more
than doubled and now allows photographers to capture images underwater up to 10
feet for 2 hours. Improved construction of the camera incorporates metal front
and back covers for added durability. Protective glass on the lens is treated
with a Super Protect (SP) coating, developed exclusively by Pentax for superior
water repellency. In addition to a JIS Class 8 waterproof standard, the Optio
W30 features JIS Class 5 dustproof standard that protects the camera even more
in outdoor settings.
Bright, new LCD monitor is easy-to-view
The Optio W30 is equipped with a high-intensity 2.5 inch LCD monitor
with an LCD Bright Mode that adjusts the brightness of the screen, making it
easy-to-view even outdoors in strong sunlight. An Anti-Reflection (AR) coating
on the monitor helps make the screen even more visible outdoors.
Face Recognition AF & AE mode is convenient when photographing people
The Optio W30 is equipped with a Face Recognition AF & AE function
that automatically detects and focuses on faces, regardless of where the people
appear in the photo frame. In addition, optimal exposure settings are
automatically conducted so that the areas with faces are not darkened even if
there is backlighting.
Digital Shake Reduction (SR)
The Digital SR mode helps reduce camera shake and subject blur in still
photography by adjusting sensitivity automatically to as high as the sensitivity
of ISO 3200, to match the brightness of the subject. This enables photography
with fast shutter speeds.
High-quality movies with Shake Reduction function
The Optio W30 captures smooth, high-quality movies at 30 fps (frames per second)
at a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, which is comparable to movies taken with a
camcorder. The Optio W30 also features Movie SR mode , which automatically
corrects camera shake, and an Interval Shooting mode that records images during
each specified time interval as a movie for more creative options.
Macro photography
The Optio W30 can focus on objects at just under half an inch away for stunning
close-up photography of subjects such as flowers, insects, or jewelry.
Auto Picture mode automatically determines best settings for shooting
conditions
The Auto Picture mode helps the Optio W30 automatically determine the
best shooting conditions for Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, and Program modes
and choose the optimum settings for each subject. This PENTAX original function
makes photography a breeze for beginners since it eliminates the necessity of
making a number of individual settings.
