Product Info
The Pentax Optio T20 is compact digital camera featuring an extremely slim body. Incorporating the Pentax-developed Sliding Lens System and an impressive 3.0-inch, high-definition LCD monitor, the Optio T20 is the thinnest digital camera in its class. Featuring 7.0 megapixels and a 3x zoom, the latest model in the Pentax T series allows users to select and confirm functions directly on the LCD monitor with just a touch or with a stylus. The 3.0-inch display allows users to easily view and decorate images with drawings, stamps, picture frames, and more. With the 3.0-inch touch-display, the Optio T20 allows users to simply touch, shoot, and enjoy.
Oversize 3.0-inch LCD monitor makes it easy to share
The Optio T20 hosts a large 3.0-inch LCD monitor with 230,000 pixels for exceptional clarity and definition for reviewing images and menu text. With a wide viewing field, the screen remains easy to see when viewed from an angle or straight on. This is helpful when monitoring shots at low or high angles or when displaying images in a group setting. The large LCD is made possible by high-density mounting technology and the Pentax Sliding Lens System. In Pentax's proprietary lens system, the central lens group slides upward from the optical axis and the front and back lens groups slip under them. Housing the lens in two steps in the lens cylinder reduces overall lens thickness, thereby minimizing body depth.
Extremely slim body
With a slim body only 0.77 inches thick (19.5 millimeters), the Optio T20 is the thinnest in this digital camera class.
Touch display makes operations simple and enjoyable
The Optio T20's touch display allows users to select and confirm functions by directly touching the LCD monitor. Easy operation of the screen allows users to access icons from the displayed menu with a simple touch.
