Features:

Encased in a compact, low-profile body, the ESPIO 140VDate features a 38mm~140mm (3.7X) zoom lens and a host of user-friendly features including high-quality optics and a protective, stylish sliding lens cover.
The lightweight body of the ESPIO 140VDate features a high-performance smc PENTAX zoom lens which incorporates two aspherical elements in its eight-element/six-group optics to deliver high-quality images.
The ESPIO 140VDate also features the PENTAX-developed Switchover Zoom system that contributes to the camera's compact size and allows the powerful lens to switch effortlessly from wide-angle to telephoto.
ESPIO 140VDate offers a responsive five-point autofocus system, multi-function auto zoom flash, an actual-image zoom viewfinder with diopter adjustment and a multi-data LCD panel.
The ESPIO 140VDate's extended, low-profile design is easy to hold and the silver-colored body with large metallic-finish parts is attractive. The camera's front panel is covered with a full-face, slide-open lens protector to avoid damage to the lens during storage and transport. All control buttons are designed for easy access.
The reliable passive autofocus system assures pinpoint focus even from a distance or through window glass. The five-point wide focus frame keeps the subject in perfect focus at any focal length, even when it is positioned off-center or two subjects are standing apart. The Spot AF mode is also available to focus on unwanted elements in the foreground.
When the metering system detects backlighting or low-light conditions, the built-in auto zoom flash automatically provides fill-in illumination and adjusts the angle of discharge in proportion to the selected focal length. A red-eye reduction mode* minimizes red-eye effect in subjects. The soft-flash function lowers the discharge level to avoid over-exposure in close-up photography. The Flash-off mode deactivates the flash for situations where the use of a flash is restricted or when ambient-light photography is preferred. * This mode does not eliminate “red eyes” in all instances.
ESPIO 140VDate's bright, clear viewfinder automatically adjusts the size of its image area in proportion to the selected focal length. To adjust the viewfinder image to the user's eyesight, a sliding diopter adjustment mechanism (-3 to +1) is built into the viewfinder eyepiece.
The ESPIO 140VDate's multi-data LCD panel offers a wide range of useful photographer information at a glance and facilitates fast, trouble-free operations.
The built-in electronic self-timer delays shutter release by 10 seconds, allowing the photographer to take a self-portrait or join in a group shot.
When the camera is left unused with the power on for three minutes (five minutes in Remote control mode), the zoom lens automatically retracts to the shortest wide-angle position to avoid damage.
In combination with an optional remote control, the ESPIO 140VDate offers a convenient remote control mode, allowing the user to release the shutter from a distance after a three-second delay.
ESPIO 140VDate automatically records the date, or day and time, of shooting on the photograph.
