When photo opportunities arise,
give them your best shot with the ZX-30 from Pentax. It lets you shoot at
the spur of the moment with automatic ease, or express yourself creatively
through manual control - whichever style matches your mood. Best of all,
precision Pentax technology ensures rewarding results every time. Set your
sights on the new ZX-30. It makes SLR photography as simple or
sophisticated as you want it to be.
Like
all other ZX series models, the ZX-30 is one of the most compact and
lightweight 35mm autofocus SLR cameras available on the market today
(only 12.7 ounces).

Thanks
to the acclaimed SAFOX VI phase-matching autofocus system, the ZX-30
assures high precision, high speed autofocus operation û even under
low light conditions. The predictive autofocus function
automatically activates when the camera detects the subjectÆs
motion and predicts the subjectÆs position at the moment of shutter
release for pinpoint focusing.
|
 |
The
ZX-30's six-selectable Picture Modes simplify complicated exposure
control in many different situations. Mode selection is simple and
direct; all the photographer needs to do is turn the model dial on
the camera's left side to one of the exposure programs (Standard
Program, Portrait Program, Landscape Program, Close-Up Program,
Action Program, and Night Scene Program).
|
 |
The
ZX-30 offers two conventional auto-exposure modes (Aperture-Priority
AE and Shutter-Priority AE) as well as Metered Manual mode and Bulb
mode for greater freedom of visual expression.
|
 |
The
ZX-30's six-segment multi-pattern metering system assures optimum
results, even in difficult, high-contrast lighting situations such
as side-lighting and backlit situations.
|
 |
Covering
up to a wide 28mm angle of view, the built-in auto flash
automatically pops up and discharges when the camera detects
low-light and/or backlight situations. Thanks to the advanced TTL
flash control system, complicated flash techniques such as daylight
sync, slow-shutter sync and bulb sync are made simple and effortless
- even when used in combination with a dedicated flash unit.
|
 |
The
red-eye reduction function* effectively reduces the red spots which
can appear in the subject's eyes when using the flash. The flash
unit also makes a brief discharge in the dark to assist the camera's
AF system.
|
 |
Exposure
Compensation lets you quickly and easily shift exposure across a
range of +/-3, in + EV increments, to create the desired visual
effect. A bar-graph indicator in the viewfinder indicates the
compensation value.
|
 |
By
pressing the Memory Lock button, you can store the present exposure
value in memory for 20 seconds and recompose the image without
changing the value.
|
 |
Multiple
Exposure allows interesting effects such as multiple appearances of
the same subject on a single frame.
|
 |
Set
your own pace with three drive modes, including single-frame
advance, consecutive-frame advance at 2 frames per second, and a
self-timer with a 12-second delay.
|
 |
The
ZX-30 is compatible with most existing PENTAX 35mm system
accessories, including the AF500FTZ and AF330FTZ dedicated flash
units.
|
 |
The
ZX-30 Date allows the user to record data onto photographs for easy
reference of captured images. The user can select one of five data
recording modes (day-month-year, month-day-year, year-month-day,
day-and-time and blank) with easy pushbutton operation.
