Description:

Take razor-sharp and brilliantly colored digital photos with the Pentax Optio 430RS digital camera. Its 4-megapixel sensor is capable of resolutions of up to 2,301 by 1,712 pixels, which can produce quality prints from 11 by 14 inches to poster size. Sitting comfortably in your hand and encased in a stainless-steel shell, the 430RS has a 3x optical and 2x digital zoom for a total 6x magnification. Take pictures effortlessly with the autofocus, autoexposure, and autoflash systems, or you can switch to manual settings for more artistic control.

Several shooting modes are available for a variety of creative choices, such as standard, night scene, and metered manual. The movie mode records movie clips of up to 30 seconds. Digital-filter mode changes the picture tone to colors like sepia, red, and monochrome. A 3-D image mode gives photos a sense of depth and perspective when viewed with the included 3-D viewer.

Photos are stored on 11 MB of built-in memory, but you can add more memory via CompactFlash cards. Control and keep track of all the camera's functions with the large 1.6-inch LCD monitor. The camera can be easily connected to PCs and Macs through the USB port, allowing fast transfer of your photos and video to a computer for editing and sharing on the Internet. There is also a video-out jack so you can watch your work on a television.
