Pentax Optio 430RS Digital Camera {4MP}

The exterior of the Optio 430RS has been stylishly crafted from stainless steel. This makes them feel surprisingly comfortable in the hand and gives them a sleek and elegant appearance. Acrylic has been used for the area surrounding the base of the lens to enhance the look of the 330RS from a range of different angles. The camera has achieved even more compact dimensions through the incorporation of an ultra-compact zoom lens, which retracts in two stages whenever the power is switched off. The Optio 430RS also employs the Multi Chip Module (MCM), which integrates the CPU, ASIC, and the memory chip for a more compact overall design.

Other Features
Based upon interval shooting, this creative mode runs all of the frames in order as though viewing a short film. This time-lapse photography effect can be used to create scenes of clouds rushing across the sky or to exaggerate scenes of rush hour traffic, for example. With this handy function, the creative possibilities are infinite and there is even a selection of settings that allows you to play the video at different speeds - simply choose from X2, X5, X10, X20, X50, or X100.
