PENTAX Optio S5z

The beauty of summer. The fascination of something special

> Digital camera in business card format with 5 Megapixel resolution

> Massive 2.5” TFT Screen with 110,000 pixels

> Patented “Sliding Lens” system with 3x optical zoom

> Brilliant still images and movies with sound

> Simple operation with numerous Automatic Functions

> Fashionable design with diamond cross-section aluminium housing

> USB 2.0 connection

> AF-assist light for optimal focussing in poor light

Exclusivity has but one measurement: The smaller the better

In summer fashion becomes more limi-

ted. Luxury accommodates the highest

quality in the smallest space. Look at the

Optio S5z: this 6th generation model is

more advanced, more compact and more

comfortable to handle. Measuring a mere

83x55x21.5mm it is hardly bigger that a

business card, but surprisingly features

an enormous backlit 2.5” TFT screen to

view photos and movies with 110,000-

pixel clarity.

The patented “Sliding Lens” system means

that the highly efficient 3x optical zoom

takes up minimum space. The advanced

autofocus system operates even under

poor lighting conditions – thanks to a

special AF light that fires when neces-

sary before releasing the shutter. Macro

photographs are stunningly sharp: from

a distance of only 6cm you can capture

the smallest details – the pattern on a

unique orchid or the ornate coat of arms

on a gold tea spoon.

To see and be seen, the joy of life, the special moments to savour. The Optio S5z is simply the perfect companion. It captures all the moments that you’ll talk about forever. It belongs with you because it possesses a certain something: Style.

Something exclusive becomes more special when it is simple. The Optio S5z captures still pictures and videos that are true to life, all you have to do is move a ﬁnger.

The technology of seduction: a ﬁnger tip

The ﬁrst impression is determined by the styling. The rich styling of the

Optio S5z – a true beauty with a diamond cross-section aluminium

housing – does make an impact. Concealed within are the hidden

gems: numerous photo and movie programmes that are easily

selectable from the clearly arranged menu along with practical auto

matic functions to perfectly capture speciﬁc motifs. You can be certain

that no crucial moment escapes you. The Optio S5z is particularly fast

operationally – it’s ready to shoot almost immediately after switching on.

The Optio S5z is the perfect companion to grab the most ﬂeeting mo

ments. The Movie function records those scenes that need more than

a single frame. With sound, naturally, and your movies are recorded

securely in MPEG-4 format along with your photos on a practical and

universal SD memory card.

You do not need to follow a trend, if you’re the trendsetter. Although

the Optio S5z is as small as a business card it is ready for the big mo-

ments. Keep it with you and enjoy life.
