New accelerator unit for high-quality images and ultra-high sensitivity performance. 36.4 megapixels (approx.) Continuous shooting speed: 4.4 frames per second (approx.) / [K1MARK2LK] K1MARK2LK Lens kit included with HD PENTAX-D FA 28-105mm F3.5-5.6ED DC WR released April 2018
Adopting an advanced image processing system, it has completely redesigned image quality. It reproduces colors that are pleasing to the eye and smooth gradations that are close to memory colors across the entire sensitivity range. It is newly equipped with an accelerator unit developed in-house. By appropriately processing the signal output by the image sensor before sending it to the image processing engine, noise is reduced and resolution and color reproduction at high sensitivity are improved (compared to the K-1). This also increases the maximum ISO sensitivity, achieving an ultra-high ISO of 819200 (standard output sensitivity). The PRIME IV image processing engine produces exquisitely sharp, high-quality images. The PRIME IV image processing engine is the culmination of PENTAX's accumulated high-speed, high-quality image processing technology. It features advanced noise reduction, Fine/Extra Sharpness controls for precise and natural detail processing, and an advanced scene analysis system that applies deep learning. It also corrects distortion, vignetting, lateral chromatic aberration, and even diffraction caused by the optical characteristics of the lens. *When using a D FA/DA/DA L lens or an FA lens. However, some lenses are not compatible. The 35mm full-frame image sensor captures every ounce of light. The large sensor surface and ample pixel pitch deliver rich gradation, a sense of realism, and realistic textures. The 35mm full-frame image sensor boasts high pixel count and excellent noise resistance, faithfully capturing subtle details and delicate shadows. The shallow depth of field also allows for bokeh and a sense of depth. Real Resolution shooting is possible even with handheld photography. [Image Stabilization Mode] In addition to conventional shooting methods, the Real Resolution System II features a newly developed [Image Stabilization Mode]. This innovative technology utilizes the subtle shakes that occur during handheld shooting. The camera analyzes four consecutively captured images to detect shake and generate high-resolution images. The SR II image stabilization mechanism also allows you to utilize the Real Resolution System even in dark scenes or when a tripod is not required. In-Body Image Stabilization SR II (Shake Reduction II) The sensor-shift image stabilization mechanism SR has been improved to expand the limits of handheld photography with all lenses. SR II supports 5-axis compensation, including not only conventional angular shake but also shift shake*1, which is common in macro photography, and rotational shake, which cannot be compensated for with in-lens image stabilization. Furthermore, the SR unit's high-precision control immediately after powering on achieves a compensation effect of 5 stops*2 (equivalent to a shutter speed). *1: Shift blur compensation is not available during Live View. *2: Compliant with CIPA standards [f=105mm, when using the HD PENTAX-D FA28-105mmF3.5-5.6ED DC WR]. The entire system, including the lens, is environmentally resistant. Sealing is provided at 87 points on the body and on the optional D-BG6 Battery Grip to prevent the intrusion of water and dust. When an AW/WR lens is attached, the lens and body work together to provide superior environmental resistance. The shell structure encases a metal frame in magnesium alloy. The magnesium alloy exterior is lightweight, highly rigid, and provides excellent impact resistance and electromagnetic shielding. This composite structure, combined with the high-strength metal chassis that holds the main mechanisms, ensures high durability and reliability. Durability of 300,000 Shots Meets Professional Requirements: The shutter unit, installed in the camera, has passed a 300,000-release test. Its excellent durability and high operational precision meet the demands of professional photographers. Smart Functions allow direct control of essential functions. Functions are selected and set simply by operating the two dials on the top of the camera. Direct operation without menus increases shooting mobility. A groundbreaking mechanism allows the monitor to be freely rotated along the optical axis. Aiming for the ideal LCD monitor, aligning the optical axis with the field of view, freedom of angle, and the ideal display, we developed a groundbreaking mechanism that holds the LCD monitor with four stays. This allows the LCD monitor to remain on the optical axis and be oriented in any direction, up, down, left, or right, something not possible with previous cameras. What's more, the LCD monitor can be tilted upwards by approximately 90 degrees for low-angle or waist-level shooting. A built-in GPS unit automatically records shooting location information and more. The camera also features an electronic compass that displays the camera's accurate direction (corrected for declination) on the LCD monitor. Information such as the shooting location, camera orientation, and shooting date and time (Coordinated Universal Time) can be added to the Exif information. It's also useful in situations where you need to consider the direction when preparing to shoot, such as sunrises and starry skies. Celestial tracking photography without an equatorial mount is now possible with the camera alone, thanks to the GPS function, electronic compass, and SR II image stabilization mechanism. The camera calculates the movement of celestial objects based on latitude obtained from GPS satellites and information obtained from various sensors in the camera (left/right/front/back tilt and direction). The image sensor precisely synchronizes with the movement of the celestial object. Stars do not streak even with long exposures, so even faint stars that are difficult to see with the naked eye can be captured as point images.
