Description:

The Pentax IQ Zoom 140M QD 35mm camera is incredibly compact--at a height of 2.6 inches it's just a little taller than a roll of 35mm film. Yet it has a powerful 38-140mm zoom that makes your pictures bigger, closer, and more detailed than most compacts in its class. The "actual image" viewfinder lets you see the image size in relation to the zoom ratio, providing a concise preview of the finished photo no matter which of the two available print formats--standard and panorama--you use. Switch back and forth between the two formats as often as you like to capture close-ups or the whole landscape.

In spot AF mode, you can keep your subject in focus even when it's in the background and/or other subjects are in the foreground. The six-segment multipattern metering provides flawless exposure for any lighting condition. The built-in, fully automatic flash has five modes to illuminate your subject perfectly: flash on, flash off, slow shutter sync, bulb sync with or without flash for special effects, and bulb (night mode), for great pictures in any lighting condition. Red-eye reduction is also included.

This camera has several features that allow you to shoot worry-free pictures. The fail-safe film loading function loads and advances your film automatically. The high-precision, passive five-point autofocus system ensures sharp pictures, even when shooting through windows. When left unused for three minutes with the power on, the camera retracts the lens to the wide-angle position to protect it from damage, and then shuts itself off completely. The LCD panel gives you easy-to-see readings on frame counter, zoom, flash modes, self-timer, remote control, shooting modes, date/time stamp, and battery level, so you always know what your camera settings and levels are.
