Pentax Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of the Pentax Optio E30 compact digital camera. Although an entry-level model designed with the convenience of beginners in mind, the Pentax E30 is packed with 7.1 effective Megapixels for exceptional high-resolution photography.

The Pentax Optio E30 compact camera comes with the Green mode, which automates the camera setup when shooting still images that allows even complete digital-camera beginners to enjoy picture-taking effortlessly. A single button press automatically sets the exposure, sensitivity, white balance, and other parameters according to the shooting conditions. This function is useful when asking someone else to take your picture or when you’ve simply lost track of the camera settings.
