Features

The
Optio T30 incorporates an extra-large 3.0-inch LCD monitor — the
largest in today's digital compact camera market. Its wide-view design
assures clear, unobstructed image viewing from 170 degrees both
horizontally and vertically, making it effortless to confirm captured
images right on the spot with your family or friends.
The
Optio T30 features simple touchpanel selection of shooting and playback
modes. You can also take advantage of the unique Drawing mode, which
lets you add letters, drawings and frames to captured images using the
stylus pen (included). You can even use the screen as a memo pad to
save notes, illustrations and other data.
Since
the Optio T30 lets you manually shift the sensitivity up to ISO 3200,
you can easily take advantage of higher shutter speeds to minimize
camera shake and prevent blurred subjects. This is especially useful
when you purposely turn off the auto flash for indoor and
sunset/nighttime scenes to preserve the prevailing atmosphere, or due
to restrictions in places such as museums and galleries.
The
Optio T30 features the user-friendly Face-Recognition AF & AE
function, which automatically detects the position and lighting
condition of the subject's face to assure sharp focus and proper
exposure, even under unfavorable lighting conditions.
Digital Filters
Easy Image Editing for Artistic Visual Expressions
Equipped with a variety of digital filters, including black & white, sepia,
color, soft, illustration and color extraction, the Optio T30 lets you add artistic
touches to your images both during and after shooting.
Photo Frames
Framing Your Images to Match the Occasions
The Optio T30 comes with three photo frames to accentuate your images. You
can easily replace them by downloading new frames from the PENTAX Web site.

Customizing Images for Greater Fun
