digital camera that is also lightweight and equipped with advanced basic functions.
The Optio M60 can be used widely by many different kinds of people in a variety
of scenes, and is equipped with the latest scene mode recognition function that
allows for even more easy and convenient photography of high-quality images.
This product is the latest model in the PENTAX Optio M series of compact digital
cameras highly acclaimed for their small, lightweight bodies and enhanced basic
functions. In addition to a metal exterior that gives off a sense of sophistication,
an optical 5X zoom, a large and easily-viewable LCD monitor, and easy-to-understand
operability, the effective pixel count has been increased to approximately 10.0
megapixels. Furthermore, the Optio M60 has been finished as a model that enables
for easier and more beautiful photography by leaving it up to the camera to take
photos, such as through a strengthening of the face recognition function and
further advancement of the convenient “Auto Picture” function unique
to PENTAX, where the camera automatically detects the conditions of the subject
and selects the optimal scene mode. The camera also comes in 3 different colors,
allowing users to select their favorite color.
