Featuring a 10-megapixel resolution and a 5x optical zoom lens with a focal length of 5 mm to 25 mm, or the equivalent of 28 mm to 140 mm in a 35 mm film camera, the Pentax Optio W60 can capture distinct and detailed wide-angled as well as close-up images.
The 2.5-inch LCD screen that is equipped with IPS or In Plane Switching and an anti-reflective coating can be viewed at wide angles regardless of the brightness of ambient lighting.
For clear and blur-free photos the Optio W60 has a Digital Shake Reduction mode that adjusts shutter speed and ISO sensitivity up to 6400 the moment it detects camera shake while taking pictures. This feature is applicable to your video captures as well.
An Advanced Face Recognition technology is also incorporated with the camera properly focusing and exposing up to 32 faces on your LCD screen. Smile Capture can even automatically release the shutter as soon as the camera detects smiles on your subjects’ faces. On top of these, the Blink Detection feature alerts you if any of the eyes of your subjects are closed.
All these features make the Pentax Optio W60 a great camera. What makes it even better is that it is waterproof, dustproof, and coldproof. For the adventurous soul this camera is a perfect traveling companion.
It functions flawlessly even when immersed in water up to 4 meters deep. Its buttons and joints are airtight so you can take photos or videos in the face of hurricanes, typhoons, and even tsunamis. Neither can dust nor sand penetrate into the Optio W60. It is perfectly safe to use on the beach or the desert, even during sandstorms. It can also take sub-zero temperatures in a stride. Sleets and snowstorms are not a problem for the Optio 60W.
