Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Pentax's IQ Zoom 80S Date camera has a focal length range of 38mm to 80mm and a zoom ratio of approximately 2.1 times, making it extremely flexible for shooting everything from landscape scenes to casual snapshots. Its autofocus and autoexposure operation makes it extremely easy for you to take clear, high-quality images time after time.

The built-in flash gives you five modes to choose from: flash-on, flash-off (museum mode), slow shutter sync (sunset mode), bulb-sync (fireworks mode) and bulb (evening mode), ensuring great pictures under any lighting condition. In backlight compensation mode, the 80S uses the available natural lighting to improve the balance between your subject and the rest of the picture, while the red-eye reduction lamp helps to eliminate the unsightly effect of red-eye in your images.

A large, easy-to-read LCD panel provides you with a wide range of data on camera operations and settings, including: frame numbers, battery exhaustion warning mark, red-eye reduction, flash-on, flash-off, slow shutter, bulb, back light. The actual-image zoom viewfinder adjusts the viewfinder image according to the selected focal length. You can also select close-distance compensation frame, in-focus confirmation, close-distance warning, and flash recharge signal.

The built-in electronic self-timer has a 10-second delay, allowing you to join the picture. This feature also works for time-delayed images, like moving water or interesting action shots, letting you flex your creative muscles. When the landscape mode is selected, the camera's focus is fixed at infinity to capture distant subjects in sharp focus, ideal when taking pictures through windows. The date imprinting feature gives you five switchable options: year-month-day, month-day-year, day-month-year, day-hour-minute, and blank.
