The Pentax ZX-7 Camera
 Exposure
compensation of +/- 3 EV in 1/2 EV steps 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.
With a simple push of the memory lock button, the exposure value is memorized
for 20 seconds, allowing you to recompose the image without changing the
exposure on your subject.
Covering a wide 28mm angle of view, the built-in auto flash pops up and
automatically discharges when the camera detects low-light and/or backlight
situations. Its red-eye reduction function effectively reduces this effect which
can appear in the subject’s eyes (although it may not eliminate red eyes
completely in all instances).
The ZX-7’s multi-data LCD panel, with large icons and numbers, efficiently
compliments the camera’s simple operation system. When the camera is used
under low-lighting conditions, a green LCD illuminator brightens the panel to
make data confirmation easier.
The ZX-7 is the first model in the PENTAX ZX series to offer a convenient remote
control mode. Using an optional infrared remote control, you can release the
ZX-7’s shutter from a distance – either instantly or after a three-second
delay.
You can easily expose more than two images on a single frame to create dramatic
multiple exposures. When taking three or more exposures on the same frame,
simply press the multiple exposure button after each exposure.
The user can select the panorama mode for any frame to capture dramatic
landscape images or large group shots. The viewfinder image is automatically
adjusted to indicate the panorama format.
Packaged in a lightweight silver and black body, this ultra-compact 35mm AF-SLR
has a round-edged design and ideal positioning of controls making it extremely
maneuverable and comfortable to operate.
Kit Includes: Pentax ZX-7 Date Body, 28-80mm FA Silver Lens, SLR Holster
Bag, and Two CR-2 Lithium Batteries.
Featuring the innovative Auto Picture Mode, the Pentax ZX-7 is so smart that it
completely frees you from complicated exposure control! It will automatically
select one of five Picture Modes: landscape, close-up, action, portrait or
standard program based on your subjects’ distance, lens focal length and
movement, and tells you about its decision via the illuminated mode dial and the
viewfinder indication.
When the intelligent Auto Picture mode is selected, the ZX-7 automatically
chooses the most appropriate auto exposure mode from five different programs
(Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Close-Up and Action) based on the photographic
situation. The ZX-7 detects the subject’s distance, lens focal length and
whether or not the subject is in motion; assuring the best results possible.
In addition to the hands-off Auto Picture mode, the ZX-7 offers six manually
selectable picture modes, two conventional auto exposure modes (Aperture-
priority AE and Shutter-priority AE), metered manual and bulb modes.
Thanks to the acclaimed high-precision, high-speed phase matching autofocus
(SAFOX IV) system, the ZX-7 assures sharp, crisp focus even under poor lighting
conditions. The three-point wide focus frame enables pinpoint focus.
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.
