For beach, poolside, hiking in summer showers and every other outdoor activity, this is your fun camera — and it's a Pentax®. Because it's rated JIS Class 8 waterproof, you can use it for underwater photography or moviemaking to a depth of 1.5 meters! Rinse away sand and dirt with ease — without worry.
The Pentax OptioWP features 5 megapixel resolution plus 3x optical zoom and a big 2-inch color LCD that's easy to view, even in bright sun. There's an incredibly responsive 0.6-second startup and a really quick 0.05-second shutter lag for great action shots. Ultra-fast 9-point auto focus offers both Continuous AF and Tracking AF to keep moving subjects in sharp focus.
Capture memorable sights and sounds by choosing Synchronous Sound mode to automatically record 10 seconds of audio during any snapshot. Shoot movies with sound and edit them in-camera; then print a still from any movie frame. Stylish, compact, waterproof design measures 4" x 2" x 0.9" and weighs just 4.2 oz. Powered by an included long-life rechargeable lithium-ion battery (charging cradle in-cluded).
You get 10MB of on-board memory and extra SD memory cards are available: 256MB (LX406, order separately); high-speed 512MB (LX410, order separately); and high-speed 1GB (LX411, order separately). PC, Mac and PictBridge compatible. One-year warranty.
