Pentax has launched its new Optio M60, a standard-class compact digital camera that features an optical 5X zoom, 10.0 megapixels, plus an “Auto Picture” function, where the camera automatically detects the conditions of the subject and selects the optimal scene mode.
The camera also comes in 3 different colors, allowing users to select their favorite color.
The Optio M60 is equipped with the Face Recognition AF & AE function, which automatically sets the focus and exposure. In addition to an increase in the number of faces, that can be detected at once, to 32 people, the detection time has also been made faster, to approximately 0.03 seconds at the fastest.It also features the Digital SR (shake reduction) mode, which can reduce camera shakes and subject blurring during still-image photography. This mode automatically adjusts the sensitivity up to a maximum of ISO 6400 in accordance with the subject’s brightness to permit a fast enough shutter speed to capture a sharp, clear image with little blurring.It comes with a 2.5-inch LCD monitor of approximately 230,000 dots. Price and availability will be announced shortly.
