The 7.1 megapixel CCD and 3x optical zoom in the M30 assures high resolution images. Using a new compact battery and miniaturized circuitry, the M30 is thin and compact.
Description
Sporting an ultra-slim body with a fresh, textured design, the affordable Optio M30 features Digital Shake Reduction, Face Recognition AF and AE, and an Auto-Macro function that enables close-up photography up to two inches in Super Macro mode and less than four inches in Auto Macro mode.
High Image Quality
With a high resolution of 7.1 effective megapixels and high-performance Pentax lens, the Optio M30 realizes clear, high-quality images. The Optio M30 also features a 3x optical zoom lens with a focal range covering angles of view equivalent to those of a 38-114mm lens in 35mm format, which is ideal for a broad spectrum of subjects from landscapes, through sightseeing photographs, to portraits.
Sleek, New, Textured Design
The Optio M series compact digital camera exterior has been redesigned. Powered by an exclusive ultra-thin battery and featuring a miniaturized circuit board, the M30 body is a slim 0.7 inches (18 millimeters). A high-quality aluminum alloy texture gives the camera a sophisticated design.
Digital Shake Reduction
The Optio M30 features a Digital Shake Reduction mode to adjust the camera sensitivity to as high as ISO 3200 to match the brightness of the subject. Even in low-light conditions, this feature increases shutter speed to help reduce blurring and improves image flash image capture for subjects at a distance in dark locations.
Auto-Macro Function
The Optio M30 is equipped with a new Auto-Macro Function that enables close-up photography up to a minimal distance of 4.0 inches (10 cm). The Auto-Macro function allows the camera to determine the distance from the subject, and even while in the normal focus mode, and automatically switche the focus range to macro mode.
Face Recognition AF and AE
The Optio M30 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. (The Face Recognition AF and AE is available when the photography mode is "Portrait" and the camera is directed at people from the front.)
Auto Picture Mode
The Auto Picture mode lets the camera automatically determine the 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 lot easier for users since it eliminates the necessity of making a number of individual settings.
High-Quality Movies with Shake Reduction Function
The Optio M30 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. This model also is equipped with a Movie Shake Reduction function, which automatically corrects camera shakes, allowing for movies to be taken more easily and without hassles. (Using the "Movie SR" function results in a narrower field of view than that during normal recording.)
