Optio H90 main features
Pure design, derived from the pursuit of functional beauty
The Optio H90 sports a simple, extremely functional design, with extensive use of straight lines and easy-to-push round control buttons efficiently positioned for easy access. To achieve the unparalleled functional beauty in the Optio H90, PENTAX paid the utmost attention to every detail in design, material and finish.
Exceptional image quality
Combining a 12.1 megapixels sensor to a high performance PENTAX zoom lens, the Optio H90 delivers high-quality images with sharp details and faithful colour reproduction.
Optical 5X zoom lens and 2.7'' LCD screen
The Optio H90 features a wide-angle 5x zoom lens equivalent to 28-140mm in 35mm format, allowing you to handle breathtaking landscapes as well as group shots in a confined space. The high resolution 2.7'' LCD screen (230.000 dots) offers absolute convenience not only to view captured images but also to make camera settings.
HD-TV proportioned movie recording
The Optio H90 captures beautiful, flawless movie clips at HD-TV proportions (720p) at 30 frames per second.
This mode also offers a variety of editing functions: still images can be extracted from movie clips, and title images can be added to the beginning and/or end of a movie clip.
Making perfect pictures has never been so easy
The Optio H90 features a new-generation Face Detection function, which instantly detects up to 32 faces in the image field, then catches them in sharp focus and in optimum exposure. You can program the camera to automatically release the shutter when the subject’s face turns straight toward the camera.
Get connected!
The Optio H90 is compatible with the Eye-Fi wireless memory cards. These Wi-Fi cards automatically transfer pictures from your camera to your computer, without the use of any cable.
