Pentax Optio S12 Software Reviews
11.09.2019 admin
Always a sucker for a bargain, I recently saw this 12 megapixel camera on offer at half price and couldn't resist.
It's an easy to use, pocket-sized 'point and shoot' camera that has some great features and it comes with a detailed manual which is over 200 pages long.
Although really compact its aluminium casing makes it feel quite solid and well built. I've taken pictures indoors and outside, and all have come out really well. Pictures of my dog are amazing when loaded onto my PC, I could see the individual hairs on his coat!
The 2.5 LCD display has anti-reflection coating which makes viewing photos easier in bright conditions. There's face recognition for up to 15 faces or you can focus on one individual face. The Digital Shake reduction works well and it has 21mb built in memory expandable with SD/SDHC card.
There are a number of different scene modes: Auto Picture, Program, Night Scene, Movie, Voice Recording, Landscape, Flower, Natural skin tone, Portrait, Half-length Portrait, Kids, Digital SR, Sport, Surf&Snow, Pet, Text, Food, Frame Composite, Green
The menus are well laid out and easy to use. You can just leave it in the 'Auto picture' mode and it will automatically select the best shooting settings or if you want to play around with the settings there are more options that most of us would ever want.
Once you've taken your pictures there a number of editing options available in playback mode some examples are resizing, cropping, colour filters, brightness adjustment, red eye removal. With the digital filter you can even slim or widen an image - no longer need to diet for the hols - just doctor the photos when you get back and instantly look as slim as you want to!
So far I've not had any of the problems that some other reviewers have mentioned. Although I'd be the first to admit I'm no expert, the quality looks pretty good to me. Should I experience any problems in the future I'll update this review.
