Pentax Optio E40 review
The easy-to-use Optio E40 is designed for simple and intuitive operation so
that even beginners can enjoy taking great photos effortlessly. The 8.1
megapixel Optio E40 features a 3X optical lens, Face Recognition technology
and Digital Shake Reduction functions for high-resolution photography. The
Optio E40 accepts widely available AA batteries so you can shoot with
confidence when away from home.
The 8.1 effective megapixel CCD allows you to take pictures with
outstanding resolution.
The Face Recognition AF & AE function
The Digital SR (Shake Reduction) mode reduces camera shakes and blurring of
the subject when photographing still images. The sensitivity is adjusted
automatically, to as high as a sensitivity of ISO1000, to match the
brightness of the subjects. This enables photography with fast shutter
speeds, and images with less blurring can be obtained.
Accepts widely available AA batteries so you can shoot with confidence when
away from home or whenever you want. The Optio E40 has been designed
specifically to use less power so that you can take approximately 240
photos when running on alkaline batteries.
Green mode offers point & shoot convenience. A single button press
automatically sets the exposure, sensitivity, white balance, and other
parameters according to the shooting conditions.
The Auto Picture mode lets the camera automatically determine the shooting
conditions for Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, and Normal mode and
chooses the optimum settings for each subject. This PENTAX original
function makes photography a lot easier for users as it eliminates the
necessity of making a number of individual settings.
The 3x optical zoom lens covers a wide range of shooting conditions, from
wide angle landscape shots to sharp portraits. Such zooming power can also
be combined with 4X digital zoom to achieve a total of 12X zoom capability.

framing of shots, and offers a bright image during playback for review.
