• Combining approximately 10.0 effective megapixels with the high-performance PENTAX zoom lens, the Optio E80 delivers brilliant, high-quality images with well-defined details.

• The 3X optical zoom lens covers focal lengths from approximately 31.5mm to 94.5mm (in 35mm format). Its 31.5mm wide-angle coverage is particularly handy when photographing spectacular landscapes, magnificent architectures or group snapshots in a confined space.

• Despite its compact size, the Optio E80 features a large, bright 2.7 inch colour LCD with approximately 230,000 dot resolution. It allows you to clearly review images and menus on the screen.

• Capture beautiful, flawless movie clips at 16:9 high-definition TV proportions (1280 x 720 pixels at 15 fps). Movie SR (Shake Reduction) mode uses exclusive software to automatically compensate camera shake during movie shooting.

• Auto Picture mode lets the camera automatically determine the shooting conditions for a total of 8 scenes (Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, Night Scene Portrait, Flower, Sport, Candlelight and Standard modes) and chooses the optimum settings for each.

• With simple push-button operation, the user-friendly Green mode automatically selects the optimum combination of exposure settings, ISO sensitivity and other factors for a given subject or scene. This mode not only makes high-quality digital photography simple and effortless, even for first-time digital photographers, it is also ideal for use when asking someone else to take your picture.

• ISO sensitivity up to 6400 speeds up shutter response to freeze subject movement, providing sharp images even in very dim lighting.

• All of the Optio E80’s control buttons, including the shutter release button on the top panel, are large and easy to press. Coupled with the large letters, numerals and icons used in the on-screen menus, this makes using the Optio E80 easy for those with poor vision or unsteady hands.

• Compatibility with easy to find AA batteries is ideal for travel, without having to carry battery charging equipment or international power plug adapters.

• Face Detection function automatically detects the subject’s face, then optimizes the focus and exposure settings.

• Frame composite function (with 20 frames stored in the camera) allows you to shoot or edit images using decorative photo frames.

• The image recovery function allows you to recover accidentally erased images.

• World-time function keeps track of local time of 75 cities in 28 time zones around the world.
