The PENTAX Q10 lies a backlit CMOS sensor, which is to ensure by exploiting its special mounting position for a very high light. The light sensitivity of up to ISO 6400 will allow even in low light a condition is still relatively sharp, noise-free images. The Q10 can take HDR images (photos with high-contrast), by calculating from multiple shots of the same subject that were exposed differently a "perfect" photo.
The very powerful AF algorithm the PENTAX Q will Pentax have been optimized for the Q10 again. In autofocus mode is the Q10 to focus more accurately and more quickly - even in low light conditions or using a telephoto lens. Do not have enough light for accurate focus supports a built-in illuminator, the distance measurement. The PENTAX Q 10 has automatic face recognition. The PENTAX Q 10 also operates a specially designed opto-magnetic image stabilization technology (SR Shake Reduction). The SR mechanism will effectively compensate for blurring due to camera shake. The built (guide number 7 at ISO 200 / m), that on request in low light illuminates the subject can. Be extended with a small lever on the top of the Q10. It is even suitable for wide angle lenses up to a focal length of 28 mm (equivalent to 35-mm film format).

A "Bokeh Control" function is called to ensure that the great depth that comes with a small sensor concluded, is "mitigated" electronically. About the "Custom Image" function, creative photographers her pictures give a personal touch, for example, by enhancing the mood captured on the recording or alienate an image deliberately artistic. The Q10 offers nine custom image modes. This includes about Bleach Bypass. This digital effect is used by some Hollywood studios and acts as if you had copied the color and the black and white version of a photo above the other.
There are also a total of 19 digital filters. Eleven of them, turn around filters like Toy Camera; can be pre-set for image and video capture. The remaining eight can be applied to existing recordings. All filters can also be combined. With a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels and a frame rate of 30 frames per second can be recorded videos in Full HD picture quality. The videos can be creative by using "Smart" effects refine * optical, change in style or creative alienate. The editing is done directly in the Q10.
On the back there is a screen with 7.6 inch diagonal and 460,000-dot resolution. Through the use of energy-efficient components should also last a long battery life give (about 250 images (with 50% flash usage) about 270 images (without flash usage)). Stored photos and / or videos on SD, SDHC or SDXC memory cards. The camera with the dimensions 102 x 58 x 33.5 mm and weighs around 200g without lens. You should in the colors black, silver and red in late October 2012 with 5-15 mm lens for 499, - Euro come into the trade.
