3. Optical 5X zoom lens for excellent zoom coverage from wide angle to
telephoto
Despite its compact dimensions, the Optio W80 features an optical 5X zoom lens
covering focal lengths from 5mm to 25mm (equivalent in the 35mm format to
approximately 28mm wide angle to 140mm telephoto). Thanks to this wide zoom
range, the Optio W80 can be used for a wide variety of subjects and scenes, from
spectacular landscape, majestic architecture and group shots to tight snapshots
from a distance. Coupled with the Intelligent Zoom function, which allows even
tighter zooming in on the subject, the zoom range can be extended to
approximately 31.3 times.
4. High-quality HD-proportioned movie recording
The Optio W80 captures beautiful, flawless movie clips at 16:9 high-definition
TV proportions (1280 x 720 pixels)** at a frame rate of 30 frames per second. It
also comes equipped with advanced, user-friendly features designed to facilitate
movie recording: Movie SR (Shake Reduction) mode, which automatically
compensates camera shake during movie shooting; and Underwater Movie mode,
which automatically optimizes all camera settings for underwater movie shooting.
** When the Optio W80’s AV output terminal is used, movie clips are output as NTSC/PAL
data. If the user wishes to play back movie clips at high-definition-TV proportions (1280 x 720
pixels), the data must be transferred to a personal computer for playback.
5. High image quality
Combining approximately 12.1 effective megapixels with the PENTAX-
developed imaging engine and high-performance PENTAX zoom lens, the Optio
W80 delivers brilliant, high-quality images with well-defined details. Even when
images are enlarged to larger sizes, the user is assured of sharp, high-resolution
prints with edge-to-edge sharpness.
6. Triple anti-shake protection to prevent different types of camera shake
(1) Pixel Track SR mode
When recording still images, the Optio W80’s new Digital SR (Shake Reduction)
mode effectively compensates for camera shake by processing affected images.
(2) High-Sensitivity SR mode***
When it detects low-lighting conditions in still-image shooting, the Optio W80
automatically raises its sensitivity to as high as ISO 6400, making it possible to
use a higher shutter speed. This effectively minimizes the adverse effects of
camera shake and subject shake under poor lighting conditions.
(3) Movie SR mode****
During movie recording, the Optio W80 prevents blurry images by effectively
minimizing annoying camera shake through the use of exclusive software.
*** When the High-Sensitivity SR mode is selected, the recorded size is fixed to 5M (2592 x 1944 pixels).
**** When the Movie SR mode is selected, the angle of view becomes narrower than normal
shooting.
