The Performance of an SLR with the Operational ease of Picture Mode: ZX-50 The third addition to the already successful ZX line, the ZX-50 is the perfect camera for the beginning photographer. One of the smallest, lightest autofocus 35mm SLR cameras on the market, the ZX-50 is packed with many sophisticated features at a very affordable price.  


Five user-selectable Picture Modes, including Green Mode (for point-and-shoot simplicity), Portrait Mode, Landscape Mode, Close-up Mode or Action Program Mode, provide maximum flexibility without sacrificing ease of use.
Conventional aperture-preferred and shutter-preferred auto modes for creative control, and metered manual and Bulb modes for total creative freedom.
Multi-segment metering system assures optimum results even under difficult lighting conditions, such as backlighting or high-contrast conditions.
High-speed, high-precision SAFOX V phase-matching autofocus system assures precise, fast focus even under poor lighting conditions.
Predictive autofocus function automatically detects the subject's motion and anticipates the subject's position at the time of shutter release, resulting in perfectly focused photos even when the subject is moving toward or away from the camera.
The built-in TTL "Smart Flash" is your reliable assistant in difficult lighting conditions. It makes previously complicated flash techniques such as daylight sync and slow shutter sync simple and effortless. It is also equipped with a pre-flash emission to reduce the "red-eye" effect in your subject's eyes.
Bright, uncluttered viewfinder has an LCD display with shutter and aperture settings, manual metering scales, and indicators for focus, flash and exposure compensation.
Exposure compensation of +/- 3 EV allows you to intentionally over- or under-expose your images for just the right effect your creativity demands to capture the mood of the moment.
Large, easy-to-see external LCD control panel gives camera status at a glance, including shutter and aperture settings, exposure counter, picture mode setting, exposure compensation setting and low-battery warning.
The ZX-50 Date model has five-mode switchable data imprinting: Year-Month-Day,  Day-Hour-Minute, Month-Day-Year, Day-Month-Year,  and blank.
The ZX-50 is truly compatible; the Pentax FA-, F- and A-series lenses are ideal partners for the ZX-50 as well as the AF500FTZ, AF330FTZ, AF220T and AF140C dedicated flash units.
