Features
• The Optio WS80’s waterproof and dustproof construction can withstand depths up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) protecting against rain, snow, sand and allowing full underwater photos and video. The PENTAX-exclusive SP (Super Protect) coating adds superior water repellency to the front protective glass of the lens to prevent water droplets from forming and blurring the picture.
• The 5X optical zoom lens covers focal lengths from 35mm to 175mm in the 35mm format. The Intelligent Zoom function extends the zoom range up to approximately 28.5 times for even tighter zooming in on the subject.
• Combining approximately 10.0 effective megapixels with the PENTAX-developed imaging engine and high-performance PENTAX zoom lens, the Optio WS80 allows you to produce brilliant, high-resolution prints with edge-to-edge sharpness, even when images are enlarged to larger sizes.
• Triple anti-shake protection to prevent different types of camera shake
Pixel Track Shake Reduction mode reduces camera shake and blurring of the subject when photographing still images, as well as ensuring sharp images even in challenging lighting conditions, without adding any high ISO noise.
High-Sensitivity SR mode reduces the effect of camera shake and blurring of the subject when photographing still images in low-light conditions. The sensitivity is adjusted automatically, to as high as the ultrahigh sensitivity of ISO 6400, to match the brightness of the subjects
When the High-Sensitivity SR mode is selected, the recorded size is fixed to 5M (2592 x 1944 pixels).
Movie SR mode prevents blurry images during movie shooting by effectively minimizing annoying camera shake through the use of exclusive software.
When the Movie SR mode is selected, the angle of view becomes narrower than normal shooting.
• The advanced Fast Face Detection technology sees up to 32 faces in as little as 0.03 seconds for easy portrait photography. Smile Capture automatically recognizes smiles and takes the picture when a smile is detected while Blinking Detection warns you if the subject blinked at the moment the shot was taken.
• The Optio WS80 can capture high resolution, widescreen, HD video up to 720p at a full-speed 30 frames per second. It also comes equipped with advanced, user-friendly features designed to facilitate movie recording - the Movie SR (Shake Reduction) mode, which automatically compensates camera shake during movie shooting and the Underwater Movie mode, which automatically optimizes all camera settings for underwater movie shooting.
• The large 2.7 inch high-brightness colour LCD monitor allows you to view on-screen images and menus with ease and facilitates mode setting and other camera operations during both shooting and playback.
• Auto Picture mode automatically selects the most appropriate shooting mode for a given subject or scene (from Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, Night Scene Portrait, Flower, Sport, Standard and Candlelight modes) by detecting the subject’s lighting and other conditions.
• A variety of digital filters, including Toy Camera and Retro are available to add distinctive visual effects to recorded images.
• New D-Range setting improves images by adjusting both the highlight and shadow areas of the picture for optimum image quality.
• Digital wide function merges two shots into one image for ultra-wide-angle expressions equivalent to a focal length of approx. 25.4mm in 35mm format, ideal for use by realtors on the MLS system.
• Frame composite function (with 90 frames stored in the camera) allows to shoot pictures with decorative photo frames.
• The image recovery function allows you to recover accidentally erased images.
• ACDSee for PENTAX 3.0 image viewing, editing and filing software (compatible with Windows VistaTM) and ACDSee 2.0 for Mac image viewing/managing software are both included.
