The Optio M60 can be used widely by anyone in a variety of situations, and is equipped with the latest scene mode recognition function allowing for easy and convenient capturing of high-quality images.
The M60 is the latest model in the PENTAX Optio M series of digital compact cameras, which have been highly acclaimed for their small, lightweight bodies and enhanced functions. In addition to a metal exterior that gives it a sense of sophistication, the M60 is loaded with an impressive optical 5X zoom, a large LCD monitor, easy-to-understand operability, and approximately 10.0 megapixels.
Furthermore, the Optio M60 makes taking great pictures even
easier by leaving it up to the camera to determine specific settings. This is made possible thanks to the strengthened face recognition function and advancements to the convenient “Auto Picture” function unique to PENTAX, where the camera automatically detects the conditions of the subject and selects the optimal scene mode. The camera is also available in three different colours, allowing users to select their favourite.
Advanced Auto Picture mode that lets the camera automatically select the scene mode Further improvements have been made in the recognition performance of the Auto Picture mode, which is a convenient function unique to PENTAX where the camera automatically selects the optimal scene mode simply when the camera is pointed at the subject. Through the addition of Candlelight to the conventional scene modes of Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, Night Scene Portrait, Standard, Flower, and Sport, a total of 8 scenes can be recognized with the Optio M60, which is the most in this series. It is now possible to leave everything up to the camera and take photos of a wider variety of scenes easily and beautifully.
High-speed Face Recognition function of approximately 0.03 seconds The Optio M60 is equipped with the Face Recognition AF & AE function, which is useful when taking photos of people, as it 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. The Optio M60 also comes with application functions such as Smile Capture, which automatically distinguishes smiles and takes photos, and Blinking Detection, which is a function where the camera warns the photographer if the subject blinked at the moment the shot was taken.
New design that pursues a sophisticated texture The Optio M60 comes in a new design that is particular down to the texture of the detailed parts. Aluminum alloy, which has a sophisticated texture, is used for the body’s exterior. Different colors are used for the decorative ring around the lens to match the body color. By using shiny, plated parts with luster for the grip and the upper surface of the body, the Optio M60 resembles a piece of accessory through its beautiful brilliance as well as its elegant design.
Optical 5X zoom lens Inside a compact body that fits into the palm of a hand, the Optio M60 is equipped with an optical 5X zoom lens where an angle of view equivalent to approximately 36mm to 180mm in 35mm format can be obtained. It is now possible to zoom in further when taking photos of landscapes, commemorative photos, and portraits. The Optio M60 also comes with an Intelligent Zoom function that extends the zoom range without compromising the optical zoom’s image quality, enabling for high-magnification zoom photography equivalent to a maximum of approximately 28.5X. High sensitivity Digital SR mode that reduces camera shakes and subject blurring The Optio M60 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. Approximately 10.0 effective megapixels for high-definition images For the Optio M60, the effective pixel count was increased to a higher definition of approximately 10.0 megapixels. In addition, clear and high-quality images are realized through a high-performance PENTAX lens. Clear prints, even of detailed areas, are possible even when photos are stretched out to large sizes.
