Description — Pentax Efina
The Pentax Efina is a point-and-shoot compact camera centered on a 14MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor. The body measures just 87 x 54 x 21 mm and weighs 91g, making it one of the more genuinely compact options available for casual shooting. Framing is handled via a 2.5-inch TFT LCD at 230,000 dots — there is no optical viewfinder.
Autofocus uses contrast detection along with face detection AF supporting up to 5 faces, which is handy for group photography. The ISO 80–1600 range covers typical daylight through moderate low-light scenarios. A built-in flash is included, and Digital/Electronic IS helps mitigate camera shake.
Burst shooting tops out at 3 fps. Video capture runs at 30fps. Storage options span SD, SDHC, and internal storage, and the camera connects via USB.
Three color profiles — Standard, Vivid, and Black & White — offer basic creative options in-camera. The D-LI108 battery is rated for 200 shots per charge.
