The X-5 features the PENTAX-original AutoPicture mode, which automatically assesses the subject's conditions and selects the most appropriate shooting mode from 16 distinctive shooting options, including Landscape, Portrait, Candlelight and Pet.
It also features a mode dial for swift, effortless setting of 10 different shooting modes - ranging from the hands-off AutoPicture and the all-purpose Programmed AE, to the more creative Aperture-priority AE, Shutter-priority AE and Metered Manual.
The X-5 lets the user quickly and effortlessly select the desired shooting mode - from a total of 10 modes including the hands-off AutoPicture, Scene, Program, Manual, Landscape, and Handheld Night Snap - with a single turn of the mode dial, without having to access the on-screen menu.
