Can't access your account? Since the Optio S5i does not accommodate AA batteries in any form, I highly recommend picking up an additional battery pack and keeping it freshly charged.

This is easier to do with the S5i, because the battery charger can be used in two ways. You can remove the battery and place it in the charger, or leave it in and simply place the camera in the slot designed to hold it upright, while the charging is done through the three gold contacts on the bottom of the camera.

The optional AC adapter might also be useful for preserving battery power when reviewing and downloading images, but it isn't really necessary for normal use. With its tiny size and multitude of features, the Pentax Optio S5i is a good camera for people on the go. Although it operates mainly as a point-and-shoot style digicam, it offers an abundance of color and exposure controls for creative shooting, so it should be interesting to advanced users as well. The ultra-compact design makes the Optio S5i an excellent candidate for travel, fitting easily into a shirt pocket or small purse.

It's also great for novices who want to have fun with their digital picture-taking, but get good quality images as well, and have a few features to grow into. If you want a camera that's ultra-compact, has good color, and that can be shared by both novice and enthusiast users, and don't need to do a lot of shooting after dark, the S5i would make an excellent choice. The Pentax Optio S5i is easily one of the most feature-packed, subcompact cameras on the market.

Its sleek, smooth styling is free from any notable protrusions except for the lens, which telescopes outward about an inch when powered on. The camera is so small, it actually fits inside an empty Altoids tin making for a very inexpensive, minty-fresh camera case! Measuring 3. Despite its attractive metal body, the Pentax S5i weighs just 4. The small size and smooth case design could make it a little difficult for larger hands to hold onto, but the included wrist strap will provide some security if it slips through your fingers.

The camera also has textured body panels that help provide some traction for fingers, and a small raised thumb ridge on the back panel. The front of the camera features the lens, flash, optical viewfinder window, flash sensor, self-timer lamp, and remote control sensor. There's also a tiny microphone, upper right of the lens barrel. A shutter-like, retractable lens cover protects the lens whenever the camera is powered off, sliding quickly out of the way when the camera is turned on.

The lens then telescopes out from the camera body about an inch. A tiny strip of a finger grip is on the right side, but I'd still keep the wrist strap securely around your wrist when holding the camera. The metal eyelet for attaching the wrist strap is also on this side of the camera. The opposite side of the Optio S5i is nearly featureless, except for the nine small holes of the speaker grille. The camera's top panel is flat with only slight protrusions from the Shutter and Power buttons.

An illuminated ring surrounds the Power button, lighting green in Camera mode and Red in Voice Recorder mode. Only a handful of external controls dot the camera's rear panel, along with the optical viewfinder eyepiece and 1.

Two LEDs next to the optical viewfinder report the camera's status, such as when focus is set, when the flash is charged, etc. A small five-way navigation controller is placed central between the LCD and right side of the camera, eliminating most of the thumb rest space. With it, the user navigates through settings menus, and accesses the camera's Mode menu via the down arrow.

While shooting, the left and right arrows adjust EV compensation. The down arrow pulls up the Mode menu. Just below the controller are the Menu and Display buttons. Above left of the controller is the Playback button. When in Playback mode, another press here or on the Shutter button takes you very quickly back to Record mode.

Just right of the optical viewfinder is the Green mode button. In this mode, the camera controls everything but the zoom. The Zoom lever is in the top right corner, controlling both Record and Playback mode zoom. The plastic, threaded tripod mount is off-center from the lens because of the camera's small size, but provides a stable mount, centered along the panel. However, I doubt that this will be of much concern to most users, as the Optio S5i is clearly designed for on-the-go shooting rather than tripod work.

The Pentax Optio S5i's user interface is straightforward, with only a few external controls and an easily navigable LCD menu system. For standard point-and-shoot operation, the most basic features such as flash, focus mode, and zoom all feature external controls. The Mode setting allows you to quickly set the camera's operating mode, using the Multi-Controller.

When it is necessary to enter the LCD menu system, you'll find it simple to navigate. Three menus are available, delineated by subject tabs at the top of the screen, with the Playback and Setup menus available in any mode. The arrow keys of the Multi-Controller scroll through each selection, and the OK button in the center of the pad confirms any changes.

It shouldn't take much more then half an hour to an hour to become familiar with the basic camera setup, as it's fairly intuitive. Record-Mode Display In Record mode, the LCD monitor optionally displays just the subject, the subject plus a partial information overlay, the subject plus a full information overlay that includes a histogram, or nothing at all that is, the LCD is turned off.

Playback-Mode Display In playback mode, the LCD display options mirror those in Record mode, but expand to include thumbnail or zoomed views. The LCD can show the captured images alone, with a limited information overlay, or with a full overlay that includes a histogram. Modify your browser's settings to allow Javascript to execute.
