Pentax pulled the wraps off a new 12-megapixel (MP) compact digital camera yesterday. The new Optio A40 ($299.95) expected to reach the market this month is loaded with features, including three shake reduction modes. There's a manual mode that shifts the camera's image sensorlinks using a gyro-sensor that detects the degree of shake in a shot. There's a digital mode that compensates for shake by increasing the unit's ISO, which maxes out at 3200. And there's a movie mode that comes into play when the device is being used to shoot video. The camera also features:
  • 2.5-inch LCD with 232,000 pixels.
  • 3x optical and 6x digital zoom.
  • 640-by-480 video at 30 frames per second.
  • DivX video storage.
  • Face recognition technology, including "Natural Skin tone" and "Half-length Portrait" mode, which automatically takes a head and shoulder shot of people in a frame.
  • Auto Picture mode, which automatically chooses the best shooting settings for a shot.
  • 21 megabytes of internal memory.
  • SD and SDHC card support.
  • PictBridge, DPOF, EXIF, and Print Image Matching III support.
