Top Pentax Optio T30 Camera Reviews
Megapixel.net reviewed the
Pentax Optio T30 and said: "Images appear to be too
compressed, even at the highest image quality. And, although the
Optio T30 offers three image quality settings available at all
image sizes — a rare feature on many current compact cameras
that should be lauded— the compression setting of the highest
image quality, hovering around 8:1, is too strong."

OPTIO T30 FACTS
Excellent image quality
7.1 effective megapixel resolution delivers images with
exceptional definition. The camera features the smc PENTAX lens
to render clear, high-contrast images, while our unique lens
coating helps eliminate ghosting and other artifacts. This image
processing technology produces vivid colors and creates smooth
tonal expressions at all brightness levels.
Large LCD Monitor
The PENTAX Optio T30 is equipped with a high-resolution,
oversized 3.0 inch LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels
that enables images and menu text to be prominently displayed.
The monitor also offers a wide 170 degree viewing angle from all
direction that makes it easy to view images from every
direction.
Thinnest Body In 3.0 In LCD Class
With a new, thin, high-performance battery design, and the
PENTAX Sliding Lens System,* the Optio T30 offers the thinnest
compact bodies with a 3.0nch LCD touch-screen monitor and 3X
optical zoom.
* A PENTAX proprietary lens system: The central lens group
slides upward from the optical axis and the front and back lens
groups slip under them. Housing the lens in two steps in the
lens cylinder reduces overall lens thickness, thereby minimizing
body width.
Face Recognition AF and AE Function
The Optio T30 is equipped with 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 adjusted
so that the areas with faces are highlighted even if there is
backlighting.
*Available when the photography mode is “Portrait” and the
camera is directed at people from the front.
Digital Shake Reduction
The digital Shake Reduction mode helps reduce image blur by
adjusting sensitivity automatically to as high as ISO 3200 to
match the brightness of the subject. This enables photography
with fast shutter speeds and less blur.
Movie Shake Reduction*
An electronic, software-based Shake Reduction function
exclusively for capturing movies effectively corrects image
distortion.
*In Movie Shake Reduction mode, the field of view is narrower
than that during normal recording.
Touch-display control system
With just a touch, various functions may be entered directly on
the Optio T30 touch-display LCD monitor.
My Drawing mode
The fun and easy-to-use My Drawing mode helps users customize
shots with a stylus pen (included). Users may sketch and write
notes directly on images displayed on the monitor or add stored
or original illustrations to any image with the Stamp function.
Auto Picture mode
The Auto Picture mode allows the camera to 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 easier for new users.
Additional features:
- Auto-tracking AF continuously focuses on a moving subject
