Pentax K-3 Prestige Edition-- flagship in a high-grade gunmetal gray coating
The PENTAX K-3 was awarded the TIPA Best Digital SLR Expert award in by the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA), Europe’s most prestigious awards for photographic and imaging products. This win is recognised by the specially designed faux leather camera strap, included as a standard accessory - and embossed with ‘ TIPA BEST DIGITAL SLR EXPERT’ and the PENTAX K-3 logo. The PENTAX K-3 Prestige Edition is available in an exclusively designed presentation box. Major Specifications: AA-filter-free 24-megapixel CMOS image sensor AA filter simulator SAFOX -point AF system High-speed continuous shooting at 8.3 images per second Shake Reduction (SR) Newly developed PRIME III imaging engine Max. ISO: PENTAX Real-time Scene Analysis System Dependable AF at super-low minimum luminance of-3EV 4K-compatible interval movie shooting Optical viewfinder with approx. 100% picture coverage Dustproof, weather-resistant construction Special package design Latest firmware version preinstalled (Ver. 1.10) including Diffraction Correction and AA Filter Simulator Bracketing functions. High-resolution images with the 24 megapixels brand-new sensor The K-3 is equipped with a new APS-C-size CMOS image sensor (23.5mm×15.6mm) with approximately 24 effective megapixels. By coupling this sensor with a newly developed PRIME III imaging engine with high-efficiency noise and image processing capacities and an anti-aliasing filter-free design, the K-3 delivers high-resolution, fine-gradation images. The World’s-first***, innovative anti-aliasing simulator function Newly developed for the K-3, the anti-aliasing simulator**** applies microscopic vibrations to the image sensor unit at the subpixel level during image exposure, generating the same level of moiré-reduction effect as an optical anti-aliasing filter. Unlike an optical anti-aliasing filter that always creates the identical result, this innovative simulator allows the user not only to switch the anti-aliasing filter effect on and off, but also to adjust the level of the effect. This allows the user to set the ideal effect for a particular scene or subject. User-assisting shooting functions The SR unit’s flexible design, which tilts the image sensor unit in all directions, is one reason why the K-3 can offer a host of handy shooting functions, including auto level compensation, image-composition fine-adjustment, and ASTRO TRACER, which simplifies advanced astronomical photography in combination with the optional O-GPS1 GPS Unit. ** Lenses compatible with this mechanism: K-, KA-, KAF-, KAF2-, and KAF3-mount lenses; screw-mount lenses, (with adapter); and 645- and 67-system lenses (with adapter). Some functions may not be available with all lenses. *** World’s first as an interchangeable-lens camera to carry this functionality as of October .(Based on RICOH IMAGING COMPANY’s research) **** This function is most effective with a shutter speed of second or slower. This function is not available during HDR shooting. Newly designed SAFOX 11 AF module with 27 auto focus points The K-3 features a new SAFOX 11 AF module with an expanded image-area coverage using 27 AF sensors (25 cross-type sensors positioned in the middle). High-precision exposure control The K-3 is equipped with newly introduced PENTAX Real-Time Scene Analysis System that consists of approximately pixel RGB light-metering sensor and improved algorithm, which allows it to not only control the exposure with extreme accuracy, but also to utilize the data taken in by the light-metering sensor to further enhance the accuracy of auto-focusing and white balance adjustment.. This has expanded the measurable minimum luminance level to as low as –3EV. By detecting the type of scene or subject using the light sensor, the K-3 also can not only select the exposure settings that are more consistent with the photographer’s creative intentions, but also it can make more precise distinction between the main subject and the background to improve the accuracy of flash discharge level.
