The K-50 Provides a Range of Creative Tools for Personalized Expressions
HDR Shooting to prevent pitch-black shadows
and whitewashed highlights
Flexible Live-View shooting, with easy tracking
of the subject on the LCD monitor
Multiple exposure for easy composition of
dramatic images
Recording of Full HD and interval movies,
with a choice of creative tools
In-body RAW development and buffer RAW
filing for flexible post-recording image
development and storage
Digital filters for easy image modifications
The K-50’s HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode works effectively in high-contrast
scenes, as it captures three images at different exposure levels (normal, over and
under), then selects the ideally exposed areas from these images to produce one
extra-wide-gradation composite picture free of excessive shadows and highlights.
With this mode, you can create an image with a gradation similar to human vision,
or add a dynamic, artistic expression with exaggerated contrast.
Low-and high-angle shooting is often a troublesome task with the optical viewfinder.
The K-50’s Live-View mode, however, makes it easier and more comfortable for you,
since it lets you angle the camera more freely. It also allows you to more accurately
visualize the final image (such as brightness and tone) on the LCD monitor. You can even
take advantage of such handy tools as the Face Recognition AF mode and a grid display
during Live-View shooting.
You can tell a fascinating story simply by combining several scenes in a single image.
The K-50 lets you compose a single picture from as many as nine separate images.
During Live-View shooting, you can even check an existing composite image on the
LCD monitor when framing the next image, for easy composition of the entire image.
The K-50 captures beautiful Full HD movie clips (at 30 frames per second, in MPEG-4
format). You can add various visual effects using custom images and digital filters,
and also remove unwanted segments using simple-to-use editing tools. The K-50 also
provides the interval movie mode, which captures a series of movie clips at a fixed
interval, then edits them into a single movie (in Motion JPEG). This mode lets you
dramatize familiar, everyday events, such as the blossoming of a flower, by compressing
the progress of the event into a shorter timeframe.
Since the K-50 offers in-body, computer-free development of RAW-format files, you
can create the most satisfying image by choosing the desired custom image or
adjusting white-balance settings. It also has a buffer RAW filing function that stores
the last-captured JPEG-format image as RAW-format data, allowing you to make
desired adjustments after shooting, without compromising image quality.
A digital filter can change the tone or gradation of your image to give it a more striking
impression. You can choose one of seven filters during shooting, or apply one of 19
filters later to a recorded image. You can experiment with different filters until you
find the desired visual effect. You can even apply multiple filters to a single image, or
fine-tune the parameters of a specific filter to explore your own creative possibilities.
Note: The camera’s shake reduction mode is switched to digital movie SR during movie recording.
Note: Only the last-captured JPEG-format image (the last image of the sequence in continuous shooting,
or a normal-exposure image in HDR shooting) can be filed as RAW-format data.
Note: Simulated image.
Note: The HDR mode is available
only in JPEG recording format.
This mode is not selectable during
RAW+ shooting.
