Optio S1 Features

With meticulous attention given to every single design detail, the Optio S1 is a stylish, beautifully designed camera that you won’t want to hide in a pocket or carrying case.
Combining approximately 14 effective megapixels with the PENTAX-developed imaging engine and high-performance PENTAX zoom lens, the Optio S1 delivers brilliant, high-quality images with well-defined details.
5X wide angle optical zoom lens, covering an angle of view equivalent to approximately 28 to 140 mm in 35 mm format, is ideal for shooting a broad spectrum of subjects, from landscapes to indoor, portrait or group photos.
The large, easy-to-view 2.7-inch LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 dots allows you to check composition and camera settings with just a quick glance.
Triple Shake Reduction technology includes Sensor-Shift Shake Reduction (SR), offering a camera-shake compensation effect equivalent to approximately 3 shutter steps, High-Sensitivity shake reduction mode (Digital SR) via high ISO, and Movie SR, for sharp images, even in the most challenging lighting conditions.
Capture beautiful, flawless movie clips at 16:9 high-definition TV proportions (1280 x 720 pixels) at a frame rate of 30 frames per second. An independent Movie REC button on the back panels allows you to instantly start movie recording from any shooting mode without delay.
Shoot perfect portraits with fast Face Detection, Smile Capture, and Blink Detection, combined with powerful portrait processing modes for pleasing composition and skin tone.
PENTAX Auto Picture mode takes the guesswork out of photography by analyzing the scene and setting the best corresponding shooting mode.
Capture images remotely with infrared remote control capabilities (using optional PENTAX remote control).
D-Range setting prevents washed out highlights (overexposed) and blocked up shadows (underexposed) in your pictures.
Image viewing, editing and filing software included: MediaImpression 3.0 for PENTAX (Windows version) and MediaImpression 2.1 for PENTAX (Macintosh version)
