Released in April 2018 *Lens not included. Purchase separately. Newly equipped with an accelerator unit for high-quality images and ultra-high sensitivity performance. "Pixel Resolution System II" super-resolution technology now includes a handheld shooting mode. 36.4 megapixels (approx.) Continuous shooting speed: 4.4 frames per second (approx.) / [K1MARK2BODY] K1MARK2BODY Released in April 2018. Adopting an advanced image processing system, the camera delivers completely new 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. The camera is equipped with a new 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, improving resolution and color reproduction at high sensitivity (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 delivers razor-sharp, high-quality image quality. The PRIME IV image processing engine is the culmination of PENTAX's high-speed, high-image-quality processing technology. In addition to advanced noise reduction, it features Fine/Extra Sharpness, which processes details meticulously and naturally, and an advanced scene analysis system that applies deep learning. It also corrects distortion, vignetting, 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 last bit of light. The large sensor surface and ample pixel pitch deliver rich gradation, a sense of realism, and realistic texture. The 35mm full-frame image sensor boasts high pixel count and excellent noise resistance, faithfully capturing subtle details and subtle shadows. It also takes advantage of the shallow depth of field to create bokeh and a three-dimensional effect. Achieve Real Resolution shooting with handheld shooting. [Image Stabilization Mode] In addition to conventional shooting methods, the Pixel Shift 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 Pixel Shift Resolution System II (SR II) image stabilization mechanism allows you to utilize the Pixel Shift Resolution System even in dark scenes or when a tripod is not available. In-Body SR II (Shake Reduction II) The sensor-shift SR mechanism expands the limits of handheld shooting with all lenses. SR II now supports 5-axis compensation for not only conventional angular shake, but also shift shake*1, which is common in macro photography, and rotational shake, which cannot be addressed by in-lens image stabilization. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the SR unit immediately after powering on, it achieves a compensation effect of 5 stops*2 (equivalent to a shutter speed). *1: Shift shake compensation is not available during Live View mode. *2: Compliant with CIPA standards [f=105mm, when using HD PENTAX-D FA28-105mmF3.5-5.6ED DC WR]
Ensuring environmental resistance for the entire system, including the lens. Sealing is applied to 87 points on the body and the Battery Grip D-BG6 (sold separately) to prevent the intrusion of water droplets and dust. When an AW/WR lens is attached, the lens and body work together to provide excellent environmental resistance.
The shell structure, which encases a metal frame in a magnesium alloy, uses a lightweight, highly rigid magnesium alloy with excellent impact resistance and electromagnetic shielding properties. This composite structure, combined with the high-strength metal chassis that holds the main mechanisms, ensures high durability and reliability.
Professional durability of 300,000 shots: The shutter unit, installed in the camera, passed a 300,000-shot release test. Its excellent durability and high operational precision can withstand the rigors of professional photography. Smart Function is a new control system that combines powerful functionality with ease of use. Select and set functions simply by operating two dials on the top of the camera. This direct operation, without using menus, increases shooting mobility. A groundbreaking mechanism that allows the monitor to be freely rotated along the optical axis. Aiming for the ideal LCD monitor, we developed a groundbreaking mechanism that holds the LCD monitor with four stays. This allows the 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. It 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 possible. By utilizing the GPS function, electronic compass, and SR II image stabilization mechanism, you can now track and photograph celestial objects using just the camera, something that previously required an equatorial mount. The movement of the celestial object is calculated based on the latitude obtained from GPS satellites and information obtained from the camera's various sensors (left/right/front/back tilt and direction). The image sensor is precisely synchronized with the movement of the celestial object. Stars can be captured without bleeding even with long exposures, so even faint stars that are difficult to see with the naked eye can be captured as point images.
