Pentax Optio M50 8-Megapixel Digital Camera – Blue

The Pentax Optio M50 is an affordable, compact camera that packs a powerful zoom. This smart little camera even knows—and shoots—when your subject is smiling.

8.0 megapixels: The M50 takes photo-quality, 300dpi images up to 8” x 10”, and good-quality 200dpi images up to 12” x 16”. More megapixels give you more freedom to crop, edit, and enlarge favorite portions of your photos.

Zoom: The strong 5x optical zoom brings you much closer to your subject—without sacrificing image quality. The 5.1x digital zoom picks up where optical zoom leaves off, stretching pixels to enlarge the image.

2.5” LCD display: The large display offers plenty of room to help you compose your shot, and the wide viewing angle makes it easier to share images with friends.

Digital image stabilizer/high ISO: With its high ISO performance, the M50 is well-suited to low, difficult lighting conditions. Support for ISO 6400 means that the image sensor can handle short exposures to light, allowing fast shutter speeds that prevent blur due to camera shake or moving subjects.

Face detection: This camera identifies faces in a frame, and then optimizes focus and exposure to ensure that all of your portraits look great.

Smile capture mode: Set this camera to shoot automatically whenever your subject laughs, smiles or even grins.

Scene modes: Choose the mode to match your scene, and this camera automatically adjusts settings such as shutter speed, flash and focus to adapt to the situation. This camera features a variety of modes, including twilight, landscape and snow.

Panorama mode: Stitch three images together to create one dramatic, panoramic scene.

Movie mode: When a picture isn’t enough, shoot 640 x 480 pixel (VGA-quality) video, with sound, at 30 frames per second.
