Pentax Optio V10 Fact Sheet

An ultra-slim body with a sophisticated texture
An exclusive slim battery and a smaller circuit board allow an ultra-slim, high quality aluminum alloy body of just ¾ of an inch (19mm) thick.

Large, 3.0 inch easy viewable LCD monitor
The Optio V10 comes with a high resolution 3.0 inch LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels that enables images and the text to be displayed largely and clearly. The LCD monitor has a wide viewing angle of 170 degrees from all directions, making it easy to confirm images, even when looking at the screen diagonally.

3X optical zoom and 4X digital zoom for a maximum of 12X magnification
The Optio V10 features a 3X optical zoom lens equivalent to 36-108mm in the 35mm format, which is ideal for a broad spectrum of subjects from landscapes to portraits. Combined with 4X digital zoom, the zoom equals 12X zoom capability.

High resolution images
The Optio V10's 8.0 effective megapixels and high performance Pentax lens precisely captures images down to the finest details to deliver high resolution photos that look sharp even at large magnifications.

Digital SR (Shake Reduction)
Digital SR (Shake Reduction) mode automatically adjusts sensitivity as high as the ultra-high sensitivity of ISO 3200 according to the brightness of the subjects, and effectively reduces camera shake and subject blurring when photographing still images.

Face Recognition AF&AE function for portrait photography
The Face Recognition AF&AE* function automatically detects and focuses on faces, regardless of where the people appear in the photo frame.

*Available when the photography mode is “Portrait” and “Natural Skin Tone” and the camera is directed at people from the front.

Auto Picture mode automatically determines the best mode for conditions
The Auto Picture mode lets the camera automatically determine the shooting conditions for Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, and Normal modes and choose the optimum settings for each subject. This function eliminates the necessity of making a number of individual settings.
