12.0 megapixels
An impressive 12.0 megapixel CCD captures large, detailed images, which can be printed as 11 x 14 inch enlargements (and larger) in clear resolution with impressive image quality.
4X wide-angle optical zoom
The 4X internal optical zoom is equivalent to a wide-angle 27.5110mm, making it ideal for landscape, indoor, portrait or group photos, as well as farther away subjects.
2.7 inch LCD screen
The large, bright 2.7 inch LCD screen is viewable at wide-angles, even in bright sunlight. It also provides for easy picture review with intuitive, easy-to-read menus.
Ultra-slim body
The P70's ultra-slim, highly fashionable aluminum body is available in three distinct colors.
Pixel Track Shake Reduction
Pixel Track Shake Reduction mode reduces camera shake and blurring of the subject when photographing still images, as well as ensuring sharp images even in challenging lighting conditions. Pixel Track SR even produces these sharp images without adding any high ISO noise.
Advanced Face Recognition
With Advanced Face Recognition technology, the camera automatically recognizes and quickly captures up to 32 faces in 0.03 seconds, so every face is bright and focused, even in backlit areas.
Smile Capture and Blink Detection
Smile Capture recognizes the precise moment a subject smiles and releases the shutter automatically, and Blink Detection gives an alert to retake the pictures if anyones eyes are closed.
PENTAX Auto Picture mode
PENTAX Auto Picture mode automatically selects from 8 shooting modes for the best picture in any situation.
Vertical Snap mode
Vertical Snap mode provides the ease of cell phone-camera picture taking with the quality of the latest PENTAX Optios by using the OK button to snap shots and the 4-way controller to adjust zoom.
HD movie capture
HD movie capture vividly captures moving memories in wide-screen 720p at 15 FPS.
PENTAX Digital Shake Reduction
Digital Shake Reduction mode reduces camera shake and blurring of the subject when photographing still images. At up to ISO 6400, trust the P70 for accurate, blur-free photos.
