Pentax Optio T10

Connectivity
Software
The S-SW45 CD-ROM is a basic image editing software program which comes included with the purchase of the Pentax Optio T10. Check back in for the full review when we’ll get a chance to sit down and really pull apart this program to find out what it can and can’t do for photographers.

Jacks, Ports, Plugs
There are two ports located on the body of the Pentax Optio T10, the A/V out on the left side and the DC in on the right. While both ports are well placed for easy access, the port covers are unfortunately attached via non-sturdy hinges.

Direct Print Options
The Pentax Optio T10 is PictBridge compliant and offers options of one image print, all image print, DPOF auto print, Paper size, Paper type, Paper quality and borders to be dictated by the user prior to direct printing to PictBridge printers.

Battery
The Pentax Optio T10 comes with a light, rechargeable Lithium-ion D-LI8. The T10 can also be powered via an additional optional AC power adapter.

Memory
Included with the purchase of the Pentax Optio T10 will be 12 MB of internal memory. While this is a start, and will cover those times when memory cards are forgotten or when just a couple of photographs are needed, the user would be wise to purchase additional SD memory cards. The SD memory format is a commonly found format that consumers will be able to find both on and off line.

Other Features
Illustration Mode - This postproduction feature allows the user to select clip art options, which include a number of kitschy visuals, as well as a drawing feature which may be applied and erased at will from the surface of the image. Images can be saved or canceled separately from the original photograph so that multiple alternate images may be created by the user.

Voice Memo - Audio files may be added to still image photographs previously captured by the user by engaging the voice memo option located within the playback mode of the Pentax Optio T10. This process is easily accomplished by selecting this option, initiating recording and speaking clearly and directly into the microphone positioned on the front of the camera.
