<p>      <b>From the Manufacturer</b><br />
    The Pentax OptioWPi is a compact digital camera that features JIS Class 8-equivalent waterproof performance and has a body only .9 inches thick. What&#8217;s more, the OptioWPi also features a 2.0-inch LCD monitor, a 3x optical zoom lens, and the imaging power of 6.0 effective megapixels.
<p>  Developed in line with the three keywords Sportiness, Elegance, and Leisure, the OptioWPi provides the user with the advantage of waterproof performance that enables confident shooting during a range of water sports. And unusually for a camera with such sporting capability, the OptioWPi also has surprisingly sophisticated styling that makes it ideal for use on practically any kind of occasion.</p>
<p>  With the incorporation of a truly easy-to-operate user interface and other innovations, the OptioWPi enables truly stress-free operation. A key example of this is the unique Pentax Mode palette function, which redefines user friendliness and has been exceptionally well received on other models. Indeed the OptioWPi takes the palette function a couple of steps further, allowing it to be used for playback mode selection as well as for shooting mode selection by displaying the icons for various modes on the screen at once. Additionally, the OptioWPi features a function that displays easy explanations for each function too, and all Playback operations have been carefully reviewed and simplified.</p>
<p>  <b>Major Features:</b></p>
<p>  <b>Slim, Flat Body</b><br /> With a thin body of just 22mm, the OptioWPi can be easily slipped into and out of a pocket or bag. And despite its compact dimensions, its well-designed grip ensures the camera remains safe and stable in the hands when shooting at all times. With a front panel crafted from an aluminum alloy, the camera conveys a sense of accessible sophistication, while the round water ring design and four-way key are every bit as attractive as they are practical.</p>
</p>

<tr>
<td><img border="0" alt="The Pentax Optio WPi features waterproof performance" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/photo/detailpage/pentax_optio_wp_fish.jpg"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><center><b><i><small>JIS Class 8 Waterproof performance allows underwater photography and video a maximum depth of 1.5 meters.</small></i></b></center></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p><b>Waterproof Performance</b><br /> Offering JIS Class 8-equivalent waterproof performance, the OptioWPi enables the user to shoot continuously for up to approximately 30 minutes underwater at a maximum depth of 1.5 meters. Such waterproof capability also allows the user to wash the camera with water to rinse away sand and dirt. The perfect companion for watersports, skiing, and other outdoor leisure activities, the OptioWPi also allows the user to shoot in places that would be too dirty to take other cameras.
<p>   <b>3x Optical Zoom Lens and 6.0 Effective Megapixels</b><br /> The OptioWPi incorporates an optical lens unit specially designed to suit underwater photography. Delivering 6.3-18.9mm 3x optical zooming performance, it provides a focal range covering angles of view equivalent to those of a 38-114mm lens in 35mm format. Such zooming power can also be combined with approximate 4x digital zoom, making a maximum zooming power of 12x possible whenever desired. Like all Pentax zoom lenses, the lens of the OptioWPi offers excellent imaging performance. It is also composed of 9 groups of 11 elements (3 of which are aspherical lenses) to achieve optimal compensation for aberrations and make the most of the impressive 5.0 effective megapixels.</p>
<p>  <b>Large, 2.0-Inch LCD Monitor</b><br /> Despite its compact and slim body dimensions of 4.0 by 2.0 by 0.9 inches, the OptioWPi features a large, 2.0-inch LCD monitor. Incorporating low-reflection technology and a backlighting system, this LCD monitor remains extremely easy to view, even when used outdoors on sunny days. The LCD monitor also features a power saving mode that extends battery life by automatically reducing the intensity of the aforementioned backlighting.</p>
<p>  <b>Green Mode</b><br /> Green mode fixes all camera settings to a standard combination with a single press of the Green button (with the exception of the zoom setting). This is of particular use should the user become confused with the selection of settings or should the user wish to ask someone else to take a picture. The photographer also has the ability to allocate up to 4 frequently used functions to the Green button as short cuts, providing direct access to exposure compensation and white balance, for example.</p>
<p>  <b>Other features</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Becomes ready to shoot just 0.6 seconds after the power is turned on. </li>
<li>The red-eye compensation function touches up red eyes in recorded images. </li>
<li>Real-time warnings indicate washed out and blacked out areas. </li>
<li>Digital zooming provides up to 4x performance. </li>
<li>Macro mode enables shooting from as close as 1 centimeter from the subject. </li>
<li>Full-color, black and white, and sepia color modes are available for movie shooting.  </li>
<li>Features SD memory card compatibility and has approximately 10.5MB of built-in memory. </li>
<li>Compatible with exclusive, rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries. </li>
<li>Comes complete with ACDSee for Pentax Standard image viewer software. </li>
<li>Features DPOF functionality, Exif Print, and PRINT Image Matching III compatibility.</li>
</ul>
<p>  <b>What&#8217;s in the Box</b><br /> Optio WPi Camera, rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-L18, battery charger D-BC8 (A), AC plug cord D-CO2U, AV cable I-AVC7 (B), USB cable I-USB7, software S-SW30 (CD ROM), strap O-ST20, operating manual, serial number card, service network directory.</p>
<p><b>Product Description</b><br />
  The PENTAX Optio WPI is all about lifeproof digital and high resolution images. With 6.0 megapixels and a large monitor, this waterproof digital goes just about anywhere life takes you &#8211; including 5 feet underwater for up to 30 minutes. Capture stunning on land or see images with the quick start-up, 3X zoom and an ultra-fast 9-point Autofocus that track and keeps your subjects sharp.</p>

<div class="content">
<p><a href="http://waterproofdigitalcamerareview.com" target="_blank">Pentax Optio W60 Waterproof 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Zoom (Ocean Blue)</a></p>
<p>Lightweight and fully waterproof, the <a href="http://pentaxdigitalwaterproofcamera.com/28/pentax-optio-w60-waterproof-10mp-digital-camera-with-5x-wide-angle-optical-zoom-ocean-blue/" target="_blank">Pentax Waterproof Digital Camera</a> Optio W60 features 10 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megapixel#Megapixel" target="_blank">megapixels</a> and a 5x zoom lens with 28mm wide-angle capability. The enhanced design of the <a href="http://www.pentaximaging.com/" target="_blank">Pentax</a> Optio W60 allows the camera to operate up to 13 feet underwater for two hours and at extreme temperatures well below freezing.</p>
<p>Perfect for photography in adventurous as well as everyday settings, the 5x optical zoom refraction lens never protrudes from the Optio W60, yet it covers focal lengths from 5mm to 25mm (approximately 28mm to 140mm in 35mm format).</p>
<p>This range allows the camera to capture a wide variety of scenes including expansive landscapes, architecture, and group photos in confined spaces as well as close-up telephoto shots of subjects.</p>
<p>A Digital Wide function merges two shots into one image for ultra-wide-angle image capture (equivalent to a focal length of 21mm in 35mm format).</p>
<p>The <a href="http://pentaxdigitalwaterproofcamera.com" target="_blank">Pentax Digital Waterproof Camera</a> Optio W60 also accompanies users to new aquatic depths. With improved design and construction of the shutter button and controls, as well as reinforced, airtight joints, the Optio W60 allows underwater photography up to 30 percent deeper than previous Pentax waterproof models.</p>
<p>In addition to the JIS Class 8 waterproofing standard, the camera is JIS Class 5 dustproof against dirt, sand and dust and operates in extreme temperatures as cold as 14 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 10 degrees Celsius).</p>
<p>Other important features and modes of the Pentax Optio W60 include a High-Quality Movie mode with HD resolution up to 1280 x 720 pixels (comparable to a 720p HDTV) as well as Auto Picture mode, fast Face Recognition, Smile Capture, Blink Detection, an Underwater Movie mode, High Sensitivity Digital SR mode that automatically adjusts the sensitivity up to ISO 6400, and an LCD monitor with a 170 degree wide-angle view and Anti-Reflection coating to reduce glare.</p>
<p>A perfect companion for indoor and outdoor enthusiasts, the Pentax Optio W60 performs well during winter and summer activities as well as in and around water and sand.</p>
<p><strong>Optio W60 Highlights</strong></p>
<p><strong>10-megapixel resolution</strong> With 10 effective megapixels, the Pentax Optio W60 delivers highly-detailed photos.</p>
<p><strong>5x zoom lens</strong> The Pentax Optio W60 features an internal 5x zoom lens that covers focal lengths from 5mm to 25mm (approximately 28mm to 140mm in 35mm format) and a refraction lens that never protrudes from the camera while zooming.</p>
<p>This system allows the camera to capture a variety of scenes including expansive landscapes, architecture, and group photos in confined spaces as well as close-up telephoto shots of subjects. When combined with the intelligent digital zoom function (up to 5.7x) zoom magnification may be increased to 28.5x.</p>
<p><strong>Enhanced waterproof and extreme weather performance</strong> The Optio W60 operates underwater up to 13 feet (four meters) for up to two hours, which is an increase of 30 percent over the performance of previous Pentax models that were limited to 10 feet.</p>
<p>This performance is the result of improved construction of the shutter button and other controls and reinforced, airtight external joints. Waterproofed to the JIS Class 8 standard, the camera is dustproof to JIS Class 5 against sand and dust and operates in temperatures as cold as 14 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 10 degrees Celsius).</p>
<p>This makes it a perfect choice for outdoor winter activities such as skiing as well as for water sports including boating, fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Bright, wide-angle LCD monitor</strong> The 2.5 inch high-resolution (approximately 230,000 dots) LCD monitor features an Anti-Reflection coating to reduce reflective glare and be easily viewed even in bright sunlight. The monitor?s wide viewing angle (about 170 degrees both horizontally and vertically) allows users to view images from nearly any angle.</p>
<p><strong>High-quality movies with Shake Reduction And HD resolution</strong> The Optio W60 captures movies at resolutions as high as 1280 x 720 pixels, which is comparable to HDTV resolution at 720p. The camera also features Movie Shake Reduction to automatically correct camera shake and an Underwater Movie mode that optimizes color settings for recording underwater.</p>
<p><strong>Auto Picture mode</strong> Featuring scene-recognition technology, the camera?s Auto Picture mode determines the subject?s shooting conditions and automatically selects the optimal scene mode. Optio W60 photographers also may select from seven capture modes including Flower, Sport, Night Scene Portrait, Landscape, Portrait, Night Scene, and Standard modes.</p>
<p><strong>Face Recognition function</strong> Face Recognition AF &amp; AE function on the Optio W60 delivers beautiful portrait shots with a single setting. This convenient function automatically sets the focus and exposure detecting up to 32 faces at one time in 0.03 seconds. The camera also features Smile Capture mode that automatically captures images when subjects smile and Blink Detection, which warns the photographer if any subject?s eyes are closed during exposure.</p>
<p><strong>High Sensitivity Digital Shake Reduction</strong> The Optio W60 features Digital Shake Reduction, which compensates for camera shake and subject blurring during still-image photography. This mode automatically adjusts sensitivity up to a maximum of ISO 6400 based on ambient lighting, which permits a faster shutter speed to capture sharp, clear images. In addition, Digital Shake Reduction for playback corrects blurring in images post-capture.</p>
<p><strong>Additional Features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Macro focusing can focus on subjects as close as a centimeter (less than one inch) for stunning close-up shots</li>
<li>Pentax proprietary SP (Super Protect) coating adds superior water repellency and scratch resistance to the lens?s front protective glass to prevent water droplets from forming</li>
<li>Panorama mode stitches a series of up to three shots into one wide photo</li>

<h3><a href="http://waterproofdigitalcamerareview.com" target="_blank"> Pentax Optio W60 10MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Optical Zoom (Silver)</a></h3>
<p>Lightweight and fully waterproof, the <a href="http://pentaxdigitalwaterproofcamera.com/28/pentax-optio-w60-waterproof-10mp-digital-camera-with-5x-wide-angle-optical-zoom-ocean-blue/" target="_blank">Pentax Digital Waterproof Camera</a> Optio W60 features 10 megapixels and a 5x zoom lens with 28mm wide-angle capability. The enhanced design of the <a href="http://www.pentaximaging.com/" target="_blank">Pentax</a> Optio W60 allows the camera to operate up to 13 feet underwater for two hours and at extreme temperatures well below freezing.</p>
<p>Perfect for photography in adventurous as well as everyday settings, the 5x optical zoom refraction lens never protrudes from the Optio W60, yet it covers focal lengths from 5mm to 25mm (approximately 28mm to 140mm in 35mm format). This range allows the camera to capture a wide variety of scenes including expansive landscapes, architecture, and group photos in confined spaces as well as close-up telephoto shots of subjects. A Digital Wide function merges two shots into one image for ultra-wide-angle image capture (equivalent to a focal length of 21mm in 35mm format).</p>
<p>The Optio W60 also accompanies users to new aquatic depths. With improved design and construction of the shutter button and controls, as well as reinforced, airtight joints, the Optio W60 allows underwater photography up to 30 percent deeper than previous Pentax waterproof models. In addition to the JIS Class 8 waterproofing standard, the camera is JIS Class 5 dustproof against dirt, sand and dust and operates in extreme temperatures as cold as 14 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 10 degrees Celsius).</p>
<p>Other important features and modes of the Pentax Optio W60 include a High-Quality Movie mode with HD resolution up to 1280 x 720 pixels (comparable to a 720p HDTV) as well as Auto Picture mode, fast Face Recognition, Smile Capture, Blink Detection, an Underwater Movie mode, High Sensitivity Digital SR mode that automatically adjusts the sensitivity up to ISO 6400, and an LCD monitor with a 170 degree wide-angle view and Anti-Reflection coating to reduce glare.</p>
