Pentax X90

The Pentax X90 automatically switches the camera’s focus range to macro in close-range applications.The X90 is equipped with an HDMI-micro output, allowing you to enjoy your own movies on a HD TV monitor.

The Pentax X90 incorporates an image sensor shift Shake Reduction system to assure sharply focused, blur-free images even under demanding photographic conditions such as when shooting at full telephoto or when shooting a sunset or indoor scenes with very low light. By accurately detecting the amount of camera shake using a high-performance gyro sensor and shifting the CCD image sensor vertically and horizontally at high speed, the X90 offers an outstanding camera-shake compensation effect.

The camera captures High Definition video clips in 1280×720 pixels at 30 frames per second. This camera also features Movie SR mode, which effectively minimizes annoying camera shake during movie capture.

The camera features a Face Detection function which is effective for capturing casual snapshots of people by optimizing the focusing and exposure of up to 32 faces in a single image in approximately 0.03 seconds.

The  X90 megazoom camera also offers other user-friendly functions including Smile Capture which automatically releases the shutter the instant it detects the subject’s smile, and Blink Detection which warns the photographer when the subject’s eyes are closed at the moment of capture.
