10.0 effective megapixels image quality
The Optio A20 produces clear, high quality images with 10.0 effective megapixels. The superb a better standard of resolution means that we can produce prints with crisp detail no matter if the photo is enlarged to A3 size. The Optio A20 image sensor is known as a large 1/1.8 inch CCD having 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 comes with a high quality smc Pentax contact, that could be renowned for the 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 employing a Pentax developed technique 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 volume of shake and a perception sensor (CCD) that moves both horizontally and vertically to help reduce you shake. The SR mechanism effectively prevents shake with the instant that this shutter is clicked taking an image.
• Blur Reduction mode: During this mode, the camera automatically adjusts the sensitivity up to ISO 1600 while using brightness from the subject. The more sensitivities permit faster shutter speeds that reduce but not only camera shake but the blurring a result of moving subjects.
• Movie Anti Shake Function: Camera shake while picking a movie is additionally corrected automatically by software, on account of an electric, 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 a high measure of tone reproduction and color correction dependant upon large numbers of actual photo data.

Face Recognition AF and AE for beautiful one step portraits
The Optio A20 features the popular Face Recognition AF and AE function, which supports ensure bright, beautiful photos of people with perfectly focused faces without shadows brought on by exposing to the background or for the colours of clothing. This useful function automatically detects the positioning of the subject any place in the photo frame thereafter adjusts the main focus and optimizes the exposure for ones detected position.

Auto tracking AF continuously targets on a moving subject
The Optio A20's auto tracking AF feature continuously targets subjects just like kids and pets that navigate unpredictably. Given that the focus frame automatically follows the movement of your subject while in the photo frame, is essential to capture those instantaneous photo opportunities.

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

Auto Picture mode automatically determines the ideal settings for that shooting conditions
The Auto Picture mode lets the camera automatically determine the shooting conditions for Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, and Program modes and opt for optimum settings from each subject. This Pentax original function makes photography a lot simpler for users given it eliminates the need of several individual settings. Many exposure setting mode in Programmed Exposure mode, you automatically determines the shutter speed and aperture. The camera also includes Shutter Priority AE mode and Manual Exposure mode, that your user can set freely dependent upon the effect they may be seeking to achieve.

Compact and light weight body
Despite incorporating a considerable CCD as well as SR system, we managed to result in a slimmer and lighter body by employing our unique Sliding Lens system along 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 traditional SD memory cards and also the new SDHC memory cards.

Red eye correction available after shooting
The Optio A20 is included with FotoNation's red eye correction function, which could correct red eye problems, a complication of flash photography, right after the photo is taken. Excellent manually choose the area to correct, this function makes for more precise correction of red eye photos.
