The Pentax IQ Zoom 160 camera boasts a user-friendly mode dial that allows you to turn the power on and off, as well as select the desired mode, including panorama, with just a twist. It features a large, easy-to-read LCD instruction panel that displays all of the camera's settings and indicators. The actual-image zoom viewfinder can switch between standard view and panorama, enabling you to see exactly what your image will look like when transitioning between formats.

Even challenging shooting situations pose no problem, thanks to the five-point passive autofocus system and the six-segment multipattern metering system. The large LCD instruction panel is easily readable and automatically illuminates, ensuring you can access all the necessary information for operating the camera, such as exposure counter, battery exhaustion warning, panorama, infinity-landscape, spot AF, flash-on, flash-off, red-eye reduction, self-timer, and multiexposure, regardless of the lighting conditions.

Utilizing automatic LCD parallax compensation, the actual-image viewfinder can accurately display the framing area. If you wish to capture the entire scene, you can switch to panorama mode at any point, and the IQZoom 160 will automatically provide a view of the new panorama area through the viewfinder. The viewfinder also features an adjustable diopter, allowing you to fine-tune the image to match your eyesight.

Conditions that would typically "fool" a camera, such as shooting through a glass window or an off-center subject, are handled with precision by the IQZoom 160's phase-matching five-point passive autofocus system. Even challenging lighting situations are no problem, thanks to the highly accurate six-segment multipattern metering system, which measures the current lighting conditions to ensure optimal exposure. The automatic backlight compensation feature further enhances the camera's performance by firing the flash during backlight conditions to properly expose the subject.

The 38-160mm power zoom lens allows you to zoom in to capture subtle details or zoom out to encompass the entire scene. Additionally, the multiexposure mode enables you to combine two or more exposures on a single frame, unleashing your creative potential. Even if you forget to turn the power off, the IQZoom 160 will automatically retract the lens to its original position, protecting it from damage.

This camera takes great pictures and is easy to use. (Not Included) 3 volt Lithium Battery type SF123A required.
