The Pentax Optio A20 supplies the pinnacle of Pentax compact photo digital portrait photography in a ultra compact aluminum alloy body. Accompanied by a 10.0 megapixel CCD, a 3x optical contact lens, integral Shake Reduction and Tracking AF, the Optio A20 is designed with a versatile manual shooting mode. Add to this, a 232,000 pixel 2.5 inch LCD and Movie mode MPEG 4 DivX (640 x 480) capture at 30fps and guaranteed video playback on all DivX certified devices. The convenient charging cradle recharges a Lithium ion battery in the camera.

10.0 effective megapixels image quality
The Optio A20 produces clear, high quality images with 10.0 effective megapixels. The superb degree of resolution means that we can produce prints with crisp detail even though the photo is enlarged to A3 size. The Optio A20 image sensor is really a large 1/1.8 inch CCD accompanied by a wide light sensitive area, which realizes superior tone reproduction, fine textures, and greater noise reduction.

High performance smc Pentax zoom lens
The Optio A20 gives you a high quality smc Pentax zoom lens, that could be renowned for their clarity and high contrast image performance. The lens configuration, with seven elements in five groups including three aspherical elements, effectively corrects for spherical aberration. The lenses are coated having a Pentax developed strategy to reduce ghosting and flare.

Three Anti Shake functions featured:

• SR (Shake Reduction): The SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism, put together by Pentax, features two gyro sensors that detect the number of shake and a picture sensor (CCD) that moves both horizontally and vertically to lower the digital camera shake. The SR mechanism effectively prevents shake inside the instant that your shutter is clicked to use an image.
• Blur Reduction mode: From this mode, your camera automatically adjusts the sensitivity to as high as ISO 1600 while using brightness of the subject. The bigger sensitivities permit faster shutter speeds that reduce but not only trembling camera but more the blurring as a result of moving subjects.
• Movie Anti Shake Function: Trembling camera while looking for movie may well also be corrected automatically by software, because an electronic, movie anti shake function.

New Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)
A new ASIC supplies the Optio A20 with dramatically more image processing power. With this ASIC high speed processing capability, the Optio A20 attains increased degree of tone reproduction and color correction determined by large numbers of actual photo data.

Face Recognition AF and AE for beautiful one step portraits
The Optio A20 features the newest Face Recognition AF and AE function, that will help ensure bright, beautiful photos of an individual with perfectly focused faces free from shadows due to exposing to the background or for the colours of clothing. This useful function automatically detects the positioning of the subject anywhere in the photo frame after which you can adjusts the main focus and optimizes the exposure for the detected position.

Auto tracking AF continuously targets on a moving subject
The Optio A20's auto tracking AF feature continuously targets on subjects which includes kids and pets that move about unpredictably. As the focus frame automatically follows the movement from the subject while in the photo frame, you can be certain to capture those instantaneous photo opportunities.

High quality movies with the anti shake function
The Optio A20 smoothly captures movies at 30 fps (frames per second) at sizes as long as 640 x 480 pixels with image quality rivaling camcorders. Considering that it employs the DivX¨ (MPEG 4 compliant) movie format, the Optio A20 can record longer, high quality movies.

Auto Picture mode automatically determines the best settings for the shooting conditions
The Auto Picture mode lets your camera automatically determine the shooting conditions for Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, and Program modes and select the optimum settings each subject. This Pentax original function makes photography a lot easier for users while it eliminates the need of many individual settings. Several exposure setting mode in Programmed Exposure mode, the digital camera automatically determines the shutter speed and aperture. The camera also includes Shutter Priority AE mode and Manual Exposure mode, that the user can set freely according to effect they're wanting to achieve.

Compact and lightweight body
Despite incorporating an enormous CCD and also the SR system, we managed to result in a slimmer and lighter body by making use of our unique Sliding Lens system coupled with high density mounting technology.

Supports the SDHC memory for greater storage of high quality images and longer movies
The Optio A20 supports two removable storage media: the normal SD memory cards along with new SDHC memory cards.

Red eye correction available after shooting
The Optio A20 comes with FotoNation's red eye correction function, which sometimes correct red eye problems, a side effect of flash photography, when the photo is taken. Excellent manually opt for the area to improve, this function permits more precise correction of red eye photos.
