The Optio P70 features a newly designed Sliding Lens System to realize an astonishingly slim body, with a depth of only 16.5mm. Its compact, stylish and slender body makes it the perfect companion, even for special occasions such as weddings and receptions.

The Optio P70 comes equipped with a zoom lens with a 27.5mm wide-angle coverage. This not only makes it possible to preserve beautiful images of breathtaking landscapes, but also to capture high-quality images of large groups from a short distance away. Coupled with a 4X optical zoom capability and 12.0 effective megapixels, you’re assured of top-grade images over the entire zoom range.

Since the Optio P70’s Face-Recognition AF & AE function captures as many as 32 faces beautifully and in crisp focus, you have nothing to worry when shooting group snapshots involving a large number of people. The Smile Capture function then automatically releases the shutter the instant it detects the subject’s smile. Finally, the triple anti-shake protection system, combining the High-sensitivity SR and Movie SR modes with a new Pixel Track SR mode, effectively minimizes the adverse effects of camera shake and subject shake during the recording of both still images and movie clips.

The Optio P70’s advanced Auto Picture mode automatically selects the most appropriate shooting mode for a given subject or scene. This eliminates the time and trouble required for shooting mode changes, letting you capture once-in-a-lifetime shutter opportunities and preserve your precious moments with great ease.

The Optio P70 features a new Vertical Snap mode, which lets you take vertical images with the same ease of operation as a cellphone. It even lets you turn the power on and off, and zoom the lens in and out, with simple pushbutton operation on the camera’s back panel. The Optio P70 also offers a choice of 90 different photo frames — including whimsical animal ears — to produce eye-catching, fun-packed images. With all these features, the Optio P70 is designed to make digital photography more fun and more creative.

Automatic Switching to the Macro Mode for Close-Range Subjects

When the Optio P70 detects a subject at a close distance, it automatically measures the distance to the subject, and switches its autofocus system to the macro mode. This saves you from troublesome mode-switching operations, and allows you to capture well-defined, close-up images instantly and effortlessly.

Digital Wide Mode
to Composite One Spectacular Scene from Two Images

The Optio P70’s Digital Wide mode lets you effortlessly preserve a breathtaking landscape or extra-wide subject in a single image. Simply take a pair of vertical images by following the camera’s instructions, and the Optio P70 automatically composites them into a single image, which appears so natural and seamless to everyone’s eye.

Auto-Tracking AF
to Maintain Constant Focus on Active Subjects for Timely Shutter Releases

Once the subject is captured in focus, the Optio P70’s auto-tracking AF mode keeps it in focus, even when it moves around in the image field. By eliminating the need for frequent refocusing, this lets you effortlessly capture the decisive moment, even when the subject is an active child or unpredictable pet.

Digital Filters
to Add Personal Touches for Creative Expressions

Since the Optio P70 incorporates an array of digital filters, including black & white, sepia, color, soft and color extraction, you can easily add creative and artistic touches to your images — one of the great benefits available only to digital photography.

Compatibility with Exif Print, PRINT Image Matching and DPOF

The Optio P70 is compatible with Exif Print and PRINT Image Matching III to produce beautiful printouts faithful to the camera data. It is also compatible with DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) to control the number of prints and date imprint information.

When you want to share special memories with your friends or relatives, you can make copies of recorded images or movies on a DVD or videotape, simply by connecting the Optio P70 to a DVD recorder or video deck via the included AV cable. Such copies also allow other people to watch the memorable scenes comfortably on a larger TV or projector screen.
