away from home.
The 7.1 effective megapixel CCD allows you to take pictures with
outstanding resolution.
Accepts widely available AA batteries so you can shoot with confidence when
away from home or whenever you want. The Optio E30 has been designed
specifically to use less power so that you can take approximately 200
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.
Selection of shooting and playback modes is made much easier with the Mode
Palette, PENTAX’s original mode-selection function that lists mode icons
on the LCD monitor. By arranging 15 shooting modes, including Landscape,
Pet, and Food, and 8 playback modes, the Mode Palette speeds up mode
selection with its straightforward display and guide function.
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.
