Description:
The user-friendly mode dial of the Pentax IQ Zoom 200 camera lets you turn the power on and off, as well as select the mode you want--including panorama--with just a twist of the dial. It has a large, easy-to-read LCD instruction panel that displays all of the camera's settings and indicators. The actual-image zoom viewfinder switches from standard view to panorama when you do, so you can see exactly what your image will look like. Even difficult shooting situations are no problem, thanks to the five-point passive autofocus system and the six-segment multipattern metering system. The large LCD instruction panel is easy-to-read and automatically lights up so, whether it's day or night, you can see all of the information you need to operate the camera, including: exposure counter, battery exhaustion warning, panorama, infinity-landscape, spot AF, flash-on, flash-off, red-eye reduction, self-timer, and multiexposure. Employing automatic LCD parallax compensation, the "actual image" viewfinder is able to display the framing area with amazing precision. If you want to capture the whole scene, you can switch to panorama mode--even in midroll. The IQZoom 200 automatically provides a view of the new panorama area via the viewfinder. It gives you several indicators, including: focus and flash status, infinity-landscape mark, panorama-format picture area, close-distance compensation frame, five-point AF frame, and spot AF frame. This viewfinder also has an adjustable diopter, which allows you to adjust the image to match your eyesight. Conditions that would normally "fool" a camera, like shooting through a glass window or an off-center subject, come out perfectly focused with the IQZoom 200's phase-matching five-point passive autofocus system. Even difficult lighting situations are no problem with the help of the highly accurate six-segment multipattern metering system. It measures the current lighting conditions, ensuring that your images get optimum exposure, no matter the conditions. The automatic backlight compensation feature fires the flash during backlight conditions to properly expose the subject. With the zoom macro, you can capture a large, detailed image of your subject--without making any adjustments--from as close as four feet at 200mm in telephoto mode to 2.6 feet in the 48mm wide-angle mode. The lens automatically retracts to 48mm after approximately three minutes of nonuse.
