Pentax Optio E30
Equipped with the Green mode for automated setup
The Optio E30 comes with the Green mode, which automates the camera setup when shooting still images, that allows even complete digital-camera beginners to enjoy picture-taking effortlessly. A single button press automatically sets the exposure, sensitivity, white balance, and other parameters according to the shooting conditions. This function is useful when asking someone else to take your picture or when you’ve simply lost track of the camera settings.
Mode Palette displays intuitive icons
Selection of shooting and playback modes is made much easier with the Mode Palette, PENTAX’s original mode-selection function that lists mode icons on the LCD monitor. By arranging 15 shooting modes, including Landscape, Pet, and Food, and 8 playback modes, the Mode Palette speeds up mode selection with its straightforward display and guide function.
3X optical zoom and 4X digital zoom for a maximum of 12X magnification
The Optio E30 features a 3X optical zoom lens with a focal range covering angles of view equivalent to those of a 36-108mm lens in 35mm format, which is ideal for a broad spectrum of subjects from landscapes, through sightseeing photographs, to portraits. Such zooming power can also be combined with 4X digital zoom to achieve a total of 12X zoom capability.

I have a new Pentax E30. It started out as a good camera, but now on startup the lens goes halfway out, the screen says lens error and the machine shuts down after a couple of secrets. I am losing the thrill of photography. I don’t know how to contact Pentax for assistance. Presently, I am in ST. Lucia, so really cannot go back to where I bought the camera for some time. This seems to be a loser camera.
I have had this camera for over a year and now this had happened to! me. were you able to fix it? if so how?
