Optio W30 Highlights
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.
3x optical zoom lens and 7.1 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.
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 and AE mode The Optio W30 is equipped with a "Face
Recognition AF and 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.
*Available when the shooting mode is "Portrait" and the camera is directed
at people from the front.
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.
*Using the "Movie SR" function results in a narrower field of view than
that during normal video recording.
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.
