Pentax KF DSLR Camera , Black
If you are a travel, landscape, or nature photography enthusiast, the PENTAX KF is your ultimate companion. This compact, mid-range model offers not only outstanding imaging performance but also dustproof, weather-resistant, and dependable cold-proof performance down to temperatures as low as -10 Degree C.Capture Stunning Detail at 24.24MP and ISO 102400The PENTAX KF is packed with advanced functions and user-friendly features. At its heart is a 24.24-megapixel AA-filter-less APS-C CMOS sensor that ensures super-high-resolution images. Additionally, the built-in PENTAX-original SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism provides up to 4.5 shutter-step compensation, essential for capturing sharp images in challenging situations. This camera also boasts a pentaprism-type optical viewfinder with approximately 100% field of view and 0.95-times magnification, ensuring quick and easy confirmation of focusing and framing. Moreover, the various shooting functions such as wireless remote capture, transfer via mobile device, 6fps continuous shooting, and interval or interval composite shooting, allow for a diversified photographic expression.Ergonomic Design for Optimum ComfortDesigned with the photographer's comfort in mind, the grip, control buttons on the back panel, and mode dials are contoured for optimum operability. The high-definition vari-angle LCD monitor enables composing images in a wide variety of applications. Unique to the PENTAX KF is the Night Vision Red Light LCD function that minimizes eye strain and fatigue during nightscape and astrophotography sessions.Capture Fine-Detailed Images Even in Super-High-Sensitivity ShootingThe PENTAX KF assures super-high-resolution imaging with a state-of-the-art CMOS image sensor with approximately 24.24 effective megapixels and high-speed 14-bit image data readout. Combined with an AA-filter-free optical design, this image sensor delivers super-high-resolution images. Furthermore, by coupling a high-performance accelerator unit with the high-speed PRIME MII imaging engine, the PENTAX KF effectively minimizes noise at all sensitivity levels, capturing rich-gradation, fine-detailed images even at a top sensitivity of ISO 102400.Rugged Design for the Outdoor AdventurerThe PENTAX KF is built to endure the most demanding settings. Its compact and easy-to-carry body features a dustproof and weather-resistant construction with 100 seals throughout the body, providing outstanding cold-proof performance at temperatures down to -14 Degree F (-10 Degree C). This makes the PENTAX KF not only your camera but also your reliable partner for rugged outdoor photography.Clear-View Optical Viewfinder for Precise FramingThe PENTAX KF incorporates a glass prism viewfinder featuring the same optics and coatings as those used in higher-level models. This means you get an approximately 100% field of view and 0.95-times magnification, providing a large and clear view of your subject for quick and easy confirmation of focusing and framing. Never miss a moment with the precision this viewfinder offers.Vari-Angle LCD Monitor for Flexible ShootingThe camera features a vari-angle LCD monitor that allows you to position the monitor at your desired angle, facilitating image composition in a variety of situations: whether it's high-angle shooting with outstretched arms, low-angle shots from ground level, or astrophotography with the camera pointed upwards toward a star-filled sky. Additionally, the monitor features a unique air-gapless construction. The air space between the high-definition LCD panel (with approximately 1,037,000 dots) and the protective cover is filled with a special resin material, effectively reducing reflection and dispersion of light.Minimize Camera Shake with In-body SR MechanismThe built-in PENTAX-original SR mechanism effectively minimizes camera shake and delivers sharp, blur-free images in conditions prone to camera shake. Using a high-accuracy gyro sensor, it provides a compensation effect of 4.5 shutter steps. Additionally, when taking a panning shot, the mechanism automatically detects the direction of the camera's movement and efficiently controls the SR unit. This produces the best image possible without requiring any mode-switching operation.Capture Truthful Colors with Pixel-Shift Resolution SystemThe Pixel Shift Resolution System captures four images of the same scene by shifting the image sensor by a single pixel for each image, then synthesizes them into a single composite image. Compared to the conventional Bayer system, this innovative system obtains all color data in each pixel, delivering super-high-resolution images with far more truthful colors and much finer details. Additionally, the system provides a motion correction function that automatically detects moving objects during continuous shooting and minimizes negative effects during the synthesizing process.Adjust Moire Effects with Innovative AA Filter SimulatorThe AA (anti-aliasing) filter simulator minimizes moire by applying microscopic vibrations to the image sensor unit at the sub-pixel level during image exposure. Unlike an optical AA filter, which always creates identical results, this innovative simulator allows the user to switch the AA filter effect on and off and adjust the level of the effect. This means the ideal effect can be set for a particular scene or subject based on the current photographic conditions.Power of ASTROTRACER and Hybrid AF SystemThe image sensor unit of the PENTAX KF is designed to tilt in all directions, enabling a range of handy shooting functions including ASTROTRACER, Auto Horizon Correction, and Extra Sharpness functions. Additionally, the camera employs a Hybrid AF system during Live View autofocus operation, which optimizes the benefits of both contrast-detection AF sensor and phase-matching AF sensor to assure high-speed, pinpoint AF focusing on the subject.Achieve Pinpoint Focus with High-Precision SAFOX X ModuleThe SAFOX X AF sensor module ensures responsive, dependable autofocus operation. With 11 sensors, including nine cross-type sensors, it assures pinpoint focus even at a minimum brightness level of -3 EV. Additionally, it offers outstanding AF tracking performance with moving subjects, thanks to advanced features like the Select-area Expansion function and an AF Hold function.Express Your Creativity with Custom Image FunctionsThe PENTAX-developed Custom Image function allows you to process images with your desired finishing touch. It provides 14 Custom Image modes, including SATOBI, Bleach Bypass, and Cross Processing, as well as special-edition modes KYUSHU and KATEN. Combined with PENTAX Limited-series lenses, these Custom Image modes enable capturing images with distinctive themes and renditions.Advanced Interval Shooting FunctionsThe PENTAX KF offers a range of advanced interval shooting functions. These include the 4K-resolution Interval Movie function, which links a series of still images into a single 4K-resolution movie file; Star Stream Movie function, which records the traces of stars or illuminations on a 4K-resolution movie file; and Interval Composite function, which synthesizes a composite image with a choice of three synthesis modes.The PENTAX KF is more than just a camera; it's a tool that empowers you to capture and express your creative vision in ways you never thought possible. With its advanced shooting functions, hybrid AF system, high-precision autofocus, custom image processing functions, and interval shooting functions, the world is your canvas.
