Description:

Pentax's compact and stylish IQ Zoom 105S date camera has a versatile 38-105mm, 2.8x zoom lens that gives you maximum flexibility for framing and composing your shots. Because it covers the wide-angle to medium-telephoto zoom range, this camera is ideal for a variety of subjects and settings. The zoom macro lets you get within 2.2 feet of your subject, allowing for spectacular close-ups of flowers, birds, and insects; the possibilities are limitless. With the 10-second delay electronic self-timer, you can take a self-portrait or get into a group shot.

To ensure that you'll always know how your shot is framed, the real-image viewfinder shows the image size in relation to the zoom ratio, providing a concise preview of your finished photo, while the diopter can be adjusted to match your eyesight. A large, easy-to-read LCD panel provides setting indications for the exposure counter, battery exhaustion warning, infinity-landscape, red-eye reduction, flash-on, flash-off, slow-speed shutter, bulb, and self-timer. Since it's located on top of the camera, you can confirm your settings quickly and accurately.

The built-in flash has several modes, including flash-on, flash-off (museum mode), slow-shutter sync (sunset mode), bulb-sync (fireworks mode), and bulb (evening mode), to fit any lighting conditions. If the metering system detects a low-light situation, the flash is automatically fired to correct the illumination. To keep your subjects looking their best, the IQ Zoom 105S has a red-eye reduction feature. The highly accurate multipattern metering system gives you beautifully exposed pictures, whatever the lighting conditions, while the active autofocus system gives you sharp images, even if your subject is off-center.

If the IQ Zoom 105S is left unused for three minutes it turns itself off, retracts its lens, and closes the protective cover. This saves battery power and reduces the chance of scratching the lens. You can also imprint the date on your images with this camera.
