FEATURES
High Image Quality
◆ 6.1-megapixel image sensor, ensures the
faithful reproduction of your photographic
intent —resulting in images with beautiful
out-of-focus backgrounds to those with
edge-to-edge sharpness. The high-resolution
sensor combined with high-performance
imaging engine and advanced image-
processing technologies produce beautiful,
true-to-life images that are rich in gradation.
They also offer a choice of two finishing
touches of “Natural” or “Bright” to create a
distinctive atmosphere.
◆ They have a sophisticated AF system to
automatically focus on the subject with
utmost precision, even when positioned off
center. They offer a choice of two AF modes:
Conventional single AF, and continuous AF,
which maintains focus on the moving
subject as long as the shutter release button
is pressed halfway down. They also give
you choice of two depth-of-field preview
functions (digital/optical)
◆ You have a choice of image formats between
JPEG (Best, Better or Good) and RAW
◆ To further enhance quality, a noise reduction
function can be activated at slow shutter
speeds to eliminate digital noise that may
spoil the quality of captured images during
extended exposures.
High Performance
◆ They feature an auto sensitivity control
function, which automatically sets the
optimum standard output sensitivity – up to
ISO 3200, which is the highest automatic
setting in their class – based on data such as
the subject’s brightness level and the lens’
focal length. Since this function allows the
use of higher shutter speeds in poor lighting
situations (like night scenes), it helps the
photographer to effectively reduce camera
shake and prevent blurred images.
◆ Their sophisticated 16-segment multi-
pattern metering system instantly solves
even the most complicated lighting
conditions to produce beautifully exposed
images frame after frame. Spot and center-
weighted metering modes are also available.
◆ They offer a top shutter speed of 1/4000 sec-
ond to freeze fast-moving subjects and cap-
ture decisive moments. They also offer flash
synchronization speed of 1/180 second and
a bulb setting (B) for extended exposures.
◆ To trace the movement of an active subject
or capture a sequence of the subject’s
expressions, their continuous shooting
mode allows capture of up to five images at
“Best” image quality JPEGs at a
maximum speed of approximately 2.8
images per second.
Conveniences
◆ They feature a bright, clear viewfinder which
combines a Pentax finder optics and a
Natural-Bright-Matte II focusing screen to
deliver bright, clear subject image with a
0.85x magnification and a 96% field of view.
◆ They offer Auto Picture Mode, which
automatically selects one of the five Picture
modes - including Portrait, Landscape and
Macro - by calculating various photographic
factors to assure optimum results. Since this
mode takes away all the concerns about
aperture, shutter-speed, white-balance,
saturation, contrast and sharpness settings,
the photographer can concentrate on image
composition and shutter opportunity.
◆ Their 2.5˝ 210,000 pixel LCD monitor has a
wide-view design that allows you to check
the monitor image over 140° vertically and
horizontally, ensuring effortless image
viewing even from a diagonal position.
◆ Playback images with up to 12x magnification
for easy confirmation of the image’s focusing
status and details. The monitor allows for
large letters, digits and icons on the menu
screens, and a color scheme between the
menu listings and the background is
optimized for each menu screen to assure
at-a-glance confirmation, even under
varying shooting conditions.
6.1-Megapixel Digital SLR
The K110D and K100D are 6.1-megapixel digital SLRs that are not only
compatible with any Pentax lens ever made, they also pack an array of
advanced, user-friendly features like high-precision autofocus, 6-segment
multi-pattern metering, bright, high-precision viewfinder, 2.5˝LCD monitor, and
auto sensitivity control — into a compact, well-balanced body. Designed
to accommodate a wide range of shooting and playback requirements, their
outstanding overall performance makes high-quality digital SLR photography
effortless, fun and exciting for all users in all situations — from casual travel
snapshots and memorable family pictures to highly specialized applications.
They feature a friendly Mode Dial offering Auto Picture and Picture modes as well as
Scene modes for even simpler photography. All this in a compact design with high-rigidity stainless-steel chassis that is built
to last. Otherwise identical, the K100D steps-up with Pentax’s Shake Reduction (SR) system. The SR system in the K100D
effectively offers a 2 to 3.5 stop advantage for sharp, blur-free images even under difficult shooting conditions, such as using a
telephoto lens or shooting in low light without a flash.
