Pentax Optio V20 review
The stylish Optio V20 is equipped with a large 3.0-inch LCD monitor for
enhanced usability and easy viewing. With 8.0 megapixel resolution and a
powerful 5X optical zoom, this ultra-slim compact will let you zoom in on
all the action with ease. Innovative features like Face Recognition, Smile
Capture and Blink Detection helps users optimize portrait photographs.
Additional features include Auto-tracking AF, Auto-Macro mode that allows
close-up photography and 51MB of built-in memory.
8.0 megapixel CCD assures high resolution images
The 5X optical zoom lens, covering an angle of view equivalent to
approximately 36 to 180 mm in 35 mm format makes is ideal for shooting a
broad spectrum of subjects, from landscapes to portraits. Combine with the
digital zoom function (approx. 1X to 5.1X), making a maximum zoom
equivalent to 25.5X possible.
The high resolution 3.0-inch LCD monitor allows images and text to be
displayed clearly. It has a wide viewing angle of 170 degrees from all
directions, making it easy to confirm images, even when looking at the
screen diagonally. The LCD is coated with an AR (Anti-Reflection) coating
that suppresses outside light and reduces reflections, making the monitor
more easily viewable outdoors.
“Face Recognition AF&AE" function automatically detects and
focuses on faces, and sets the optimum exposure. Other functions such as
the “Smile Capture” function, which distinguishes smiles and
automatically takes photographs, and the “Blink Detection” function
where the camera tells the user whether the people blinked when the photo
was taken, are also available.
Auto Picture mode lets the camera automatically determine the shooting
conditions and chooses the optimum settings for Landscape, Portrait, Night
Scene and Normal modes as well as Flower and Sports modes.
Digital SR (Shake Reduction) mode reduces the effect of camera shake and
blurring of the subject when photographing still images. The sensitivity is
adjusted automatically, to as high as the ultrahigh sensitivity of ISO
6400, to match the brightness of the subjects.
Movie recording function with shake reduction with image quality rivaling
