The Pentax X-5 is really a camera that can do it all-- from high speed burst shooting of up to 10 images per second to fun processing tools and filters. It is designed like an SLR for ergonomic handling but compact enough for everyday shooting and travel. It also comes with viewing and editing software included! For photo enthusiasts and travelers who want a camera that can easily shoot just about everything and do so in sharp, high resolution quality, the X-5 is the camera for you. 

16MP Sensor and State-of the-Art Image Processor
Supported by the latest Super Resolution technology, the X-5's image processing engine offers outstanding performance to produce clear, high-quality images with well-defined details and the 16MP sensor provides low-noise, high resolution photos and videos.

26x Megazoom Lens with Macro Mode
A 26x super-telephoto optical zoom lens (22.3-580mm equivalent) ensures extreme flexibility for any subject, near or far. Super Macro mode allows for dramatically detailed close-ups as close as 0.4"(1 cm).

Triple Shake-Reduction Technology
The X-5's triple shake-reduction system couples the Pentax-developed mechanical sensor-shift-type SR (Shake Reduction) with a digital high ISO SR mode for stills or movie SR mode for video. This hybrid system assures the photographer of sharp, blur-free images and video even under demanding shooting conditions, such as when using a telephoto lens or shooting in poorly lit locations.

Electronic Viewfinder
The X-5 features a 260,000 dot high resolution electronic viewfinder with diopter adjustment for a clear view of the subject even under difficult lighting conditions. This comes in handy when shooting a subject in strong backlight or when you need more stable control of the camera. The diopter adjustment mechanism assures the photographer of the clearest view of both subject and viewfinder display.

3.0" Tilt LCD Screen
For effortless image composition and playback, the X-5 features a large tilt 3.0" high-definition LCD screen that offers sharp image viewing even in bright sunlight while allowing users to creatively shoot from high and low angles to keep the subject neatly in frame

Full HD Video at 30fps with HDMI Output
The X-5 has a Full HD movie capture function with high quality h.264 recording compression. You can shoot HD quality extended movie clips (1920 x 1080 pixels at a 16:9 aspect ratio) at a frame rate of 30 frames per second. The camera also offers creative playback features, such as High-speed Movie mode for slow-motion playback and Time-lapse Movie mode for fast-forward playback. A micro-HDMI terminal (Type D) for the output of recorded movies and sound to HDTVs or other compatible devices is easily accessed on the camera body.

Auto Picture Mode and Fast Face Detection
Auto Picture mode automatically assesses the scene and selects the most appropriate shooting mode from 16 distinctive shooting options, including Landscape, Portrait, Candlelight and Pet. It even comes with an Auto Macro function, which automatically switches the focus mode to Macro when it detects the subject is close to the lens. Fast Face Detection technology quickly finds up to 32 faces for perfectly focused and exposed portraits.

Handheld Night Scene
Handheld Night Scene shooting mode helps the photographer capture blur-free nighttime images by taking multiple images at once and blending them into a single composite picture.

Quick-set Mode Dial
The X-5 lets the user quickly and effortlessly select the desired shooting mode - from a total of 10 modes including Auto Picture, Scene, Program, Manual, Landscape, and Handheld Night Snap - with a single turn of the Mode Dial, without having to access the on-screen menu.

Creative Processing and Filters
Twelve digital filters including Miniature and Toy Camera add creative touches to captured images and a range of image processing tools including Stretch filter, Small Face filter and Collage function offer creative ways to jazz-up your photos.

Burst Shooting
High-speed continuous shooting of up to 10 images per second is achievable, for a maximum of 30 images in a single sequence. Never miss an action shot or the perfect expression.
