The flagship of the Optio digital camera line, the high-end PENTAX Optio A20 offers the pinnacle of PENTAX compact digital photography in an ultra-compact aluminum alloy body. With a 10.0 megapixel CCD, a 3X (38-114mm (35mm equiv) optical zoom lens, built in Shake Reduction and Tracking AF, the Optio A20 offers a versatile manual shooting mode. Add to this, a 232,000 pixel 2.5 inch LCD and Movie mode MPEG-4 DivX (640 x 480) capture at 30fps and guaranteed video playback on all DivX certified devices. The SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism, developed by PENTAX, features two gyro sensors that detect the amount of shake and an image sensor (CCD) that moves both horizontally and vertically to reduce the camera shake.
The SR mechanism effectively prevents shake at the instant that the shutter is clicked to take a photograph. The Pentax Optio A20 with 22MB of built-in memory supports two removable storage media: the SD memory cards and the SDHC memory cards. The Pentax Optio A20 measures 88.5 x 54.5 x 23 mm, weighs 125g and the convenient charging cradle recharges the D-L18 Lithium-ion battery in the camera.
