New Pentax Compact Zoom Is Ideal for the Field
The convenience of a small camera that is ideal for the field can now be had without giving up features that make the user look like a pro.
The Pentax IQZoom 90MC has the power of a 38-90 zoom lens in a super compact design. The lens cover acts as the main switch for the camera. Once open, a high performance 38-90mm, 2.4 times zoom lens, driven by the Pentax Integrated Lens Actuating System ILAS), is revealed.
This innovative system has two actuators that are digitally synchronized by the camera's CPU, allowing it to perform for than 1,400 different patterns of lens movement during zooming and focusing.
Other notable features include its small size 4.4 inches wide and 2.4 inches tall) and weight (7.4 ounces without battery).
Other user-friendly functions include multi-pattern metering, passive five-point autofocus, a built-in auto flash with red-eye reduction, an actual image zoom viewfinder, and a multi-data LCD information panel.
