Digital Compact Camera: Optio E50

Optio E50
Pretty, Lively Faces Captured Automatically

When you select a shooting mode normally used to capture human subjects, such as Portrait or Kids, the Optio E50 offers the advanced Face-Recognition AF & AE function. Since this user-friendly function automatically detects the position and lighting condition of the subject’s face and optimizes focus and exposure settings, you can always capture the subject’s face in sharp focus and perfect exposure.


Effective Camera-Shake Reduction in the Dark

When the Optio E50 detects low-lighting conditions, its Digital SR (Shake Reduction) system automatically raises the sensitivity level up to ISO 1600 for a faster shutter speed. This lets you capture bright, crisp images, even in situations susceptible to camera shake and subject shake.


Effortless Point-and-Shoot Operation with All Subjects

Effortless Point-and-Shoot Operation with All SubjectsWhen you set the Optio E50 to the Auto Picture mode, the camera automatically selects the most appropriate shooting mode for a given subject or scene. Thanks to this user-friendly mode, you can capture lively images, frame after frame, with a single push of the shutter release button.


AA-Battery Power Supply: No Worries on the Road, and More Images without Battery Changes

AA-Battery Power Supply: No Worries on the Road, and More Images without Battery ChangesSince the Optio E50 is powered by world-standard AA-size batteries, replacements can be easily obtained almost anywhere in the world. With a fresh pair of batteries, you can capture as many as 770 images (with lithium batteries) or 250 images (with alkaline batteries) without any battery change.*

* The numbers of recordable images were measured using testing conditions specified by the CIPA standards. These numbers may vary depending on shooting conditions.



8.1 Effective Megapixels for High-Quality, Fine-Detailed Images

With approximately 8.1 effective megapixels, the Optio E50 reproduces subjects faithfully and brilliantly, including the delicate texture of skin and hair. By combining a 3X optical zoom lens with 4X digital zoom capability, you can also magnify your subject up to 12 times to capture fine-detailed images.
