By using an exclusive slim battery and making the circuit board smaller, the ultra-slim body of Pentax Optio M40 is just 18mm. High quality aluminum alloy is also used for the outer cover, giving the Optio M40 a sophisticated texture. The ultra slim and stylish Pentax Optio M40 offers so much more than you might expect from a digital camera with an affordable price. The Optio M40 is equipped with a powerful flash photography performance that enables for subjects in dark locations to be captured brightly and clearly at a distance of up to approximately 15.5m, due to a flash that uses a large amount of light and the ultra-sensitivity of “Digital SR”.
Loaded with 8.0 megapixel image quality, 3X optical smc Pentax lens, the Optio M40 hosts an array of advanced features including Digital Shake Reduction, an Auto Macro feature, Face Recognition Auto Focus and Auto Exposure.
