The compact Pentax Optio W30 waterproof 7 Megapixel 3X Zoom digital camera 19271 is the fifth version of waterproof Pentax Optio Digital Camera series (PentaxOptioWP, WPi, W10 and W20 are the previous models). Pentax Optio W30 offers superb waterproof photography, including a slim, flat body design.

With more enhanced waterproof design and slightly thicker than its W20 predecessor, the compact Optio W30 performance capacity has more than doubled and now allows photographers to capture images underwater up to 10 feet for 2 hours. The generous 2.5 inch LCD monitor offers an LCD Bright Mode that can adjust the brightness of the screen as necessary for improved viewing in the sunlight. Ever the perfect camera for capturing adventure in the outdoors, the Optio W30 by Pentax also features both Digital and Movie SR modes to reduce blur in both image and video capture. The Pentax Optio W 30 also features the Face Recognition function and Macro Photography mode to allow image capture at under half an inch for stunning close-ups of photography subjects such as flowers, insects, jewelry and much more.

The Optio W30 from Pentax is capable of underwater photography without requiring a waterproof case or other digital camera accessories.
