GOLDEN, CO. (February 21, 2007) PENTAX Imaging

Photo Marketing Association International Trade Show (PMA 2007).
The PENTAX Optio A30 features 10.0 effective megapixels, a 1/1.8 inch
CCD with a wide dynamic range for superior tones, an smc PENTAX zoom
lens and an image processing engine that gives a rich color
reproduction. The PENTAX original Shake Reduction (SR) technology in
the A30 has been improved by adding both Digital and Movie SR for
improved image capture in low-light settings and telephoto capture. A
unique Face Recognition AF & AE function offers better results in
photographs by automatically detecting faces, and then adjusting

for improved viewing in the sunlight. Ever the perfect camera for
