PENTAX Optio WPi

The ideal companion for Pitons, Snowboards or Snorkels.

Experience and photograph all the elements of nature – water, snow, or sand. You’ll be perfectly equipped with the PENTAX Optio WPi for carefree photo adventures.

Discover a new world: below the surface of the water.

A change in perspective can show you a

completely new aspect. What does the

beach look like from the viewpoint of a

seal? Try it out yourself – you can shoot

photos in the water with the Optio WPi.

Get perfect pictures wherever you go: the

roaring cascades of a waterfall, the wild

waves on the beach, the drenching sprays

of white-water rafting. Water presents no

challenge for the Optio WPi. It works under

water up to a depth of 1.5m – an abso-

lute dream for snorkelling, swimming or

diving.

Adventurers need the right equipment.

Although the Optio WPi is only 22mm thick,

it is optimised for extra action. The body

is ergonomic and durable. The operation

simple. And you won’t have to miss that

wild scene just because of dirt or dust:

the Optio WPi can simply be rinsed off

under ﬂowing water.

Waterproof to a depth of 1.5m, 6.0 megapixel resolution, optical 3x zoom with interior focusing. The Optio WPi sets the standard for excellence in technology. Designed for your pleasure.

Stylish, durable and ready for anything.

What design promises, technology fulﬁls. Perfection. With a resolution

of 6.0 megapixels the Optio WPi is state of the art and provides razor-

sharp pictures. The large 2.0” TFT screen with 115K pixels presents

images and videos more brilliantly than ever.

> 6.0 megapixel resolution

> Large, bright 2.0” TFT screen with backlighting

Have you ever captured spectacular photographs in the snow – when

the powdered snow whirls up and enhances the dynamics of the scene?

In these instances speed triumphs. For quick snaps the Optio WPi is

ready for action in only 0.6sec.. The continuous autofocus assures

perfect focus automatically. And with an extremely fast continuous

shooting capability, you can shoot at 3fps. for a rapid sequence up to

3 shots. And the numerous Picture modes and automatic features are

easily and quickly selectable.

Get yourself ready for outdoor action – not just for outdoor photography.

Get ready with the Optio WPi – and you’ll capture the scenes that no-

body else even saw.
