Pentax announces new Optio M90 with rubberized body
Tired of always having to hold a standard metal body on your point-and-shoot digital camera? Pentax may have the perfect solution for you with the new Optio M90.
The new Optio M90 features a new rubberized, soft-touch outer skin, a high-definition sensor of approximately 12.1 megapixels, a 5X optical zoom and numerous modes for ease of shooting for even the most novice photographer.
The Optio M90 features the advanced Auto Picture mode, which automatically selects the most appropriate shooting mode for a given subject or scene by detecting the subject’s lighting and other conditions. In addition, there are another 20 scene modes, which include the Auto-Panorama mode for composing photographs into one panoramic picture, a Backlight mode to capture perfect pictures even with sun in the background, and an Auto-tracking mode to follow and focus on the subject even if it moves out of the center of the frame.
The Optio M90 also features the upgraded Face Detection AF & AE function, as well as the Smile function which automatically releases the shutter the instant it detects the subject’s smile, and the Blink detection mode, which warns the photographer when the subject’s eyes close at the time of shutter release.
