Pentax" target="_blank" href="http://www.pentax.com">Pentax recently announced the launch of the Pentax Optio S7, a compact digital camera slimly designed for greater portability. The Pentax Optio S7 is the latest model in our Optio S series, which is renowned for its slim and stylish compact bodies. In addition to an upgraded 7 megapixel, this model has been decked out with extra features to make it easier to use, including a Blur Reduction mode, which reduces camera shake and subject blurring, and Face Recognition AF & AE, a function that simplifies portrait-taking by automatically detecting the position of the subject's face and adjusting the focus and exposure based on the detected position. The Pentax S7 camera includes the new Face Recognition AF & AE function, which allows you to take bright, beautiful photos of people with perfectly focused faces free of shadows caused by exposing for the background or for the colors of clothing. This useful function automatically detects the position of the subject's anywhere in the photo frame and then adjusts the focus and optimizes the exposure for the detected position.The Pentax Optio S7's auto-tracking AF feature continuously focuses on subjects such as kids and pets that move around unpredictably. It smoothly captures movies at 30 fps at sizes up to 640 x 480 pixels with image quality rivaling camcorders. Since it employs the DivX movie format, the Pentax Optio S7 can record longer, high-quality movies. pentax_optio_s7_t.jpg [/TAGS]
