K10D
10.2-Megapixel Water-Resistant Digital SLR
Combining 10.2-megapixel image sensor with a host of advanced technologies -
including Pentax’s original Shake Reduction (SR) system to minimize the adverse
effects of camera shake, an A/D converter designed to swiftly and accurately
convert a large volume of data, and a high-performance imaging engine,
the K10D delivers high-quality digital images and responsive operation for
advanced photo enthusiasts.
The K10D also comes equipped with a host of features and functions designed
to assist the photographer in all aspects of high-quality digital SLR photography.
They include a Dust Removal (DR) system to keep dust off the CCD surface, a
Pentax-original exposure system for accurate reproduction of the photographer’s
creative intentions, and a dependable dust-proof, water-resistant body construction
with 72 seals throughout the camera to allow photographers to continue shooting even in dusty or rainy environments.
Combined, the K10D delivers exceptionally high image quality and responds brilliantly to the exacting demands of advanced
photographers and keen amateurs alike.
◆ 10.2-megapixel resolution image sensor
ensures the reproduction of true-to-life,
rich-gradation images. Gives photographers
the flexibility to blow up their prints to
the large sizes supported by many of
today’s printers, or crop the image to
print only a part of the image that is
important to them.
◆ The high-rigidity stainless-steel chassis of
the K10D boasts a reliable dust-proof, and
water-resistant construction, with special
seals applied to 72 different parts of the
camera body, including the shutter release
button and switches/levers/dials, making it
possible to use the K10D in the rain or in
dusty locations without any worry.
◆ 22-bit high-performance A/D converter,
faithfully converts the analog data collected
by the CCD image sensor into digital data
that offers a digital-conversion capacity
1000 times greater than conventional
12-bit, 4,096-gradation A/D converters.
◆ Designed exclusively for Pentax digital
SLR cameras, the PRIME (Pentax Real
Image Engine) produces well-balanced,
true-to-life images through efficient
control of CCD signals, saturation,
brightness, white balance, sharpness and
contrast. Its fast memory also serves to
enhance speedy image processing and
high-speed data transfer.
◆ The K10D’s Hyper Program function allows
the user to instantly switch to the Shutter-
Priority AE (Tv) mode or Aperture-Priority
AE (Av) mode from the Program AE mode,
with a simple turn of the electronic dials on
the grip, and when shooting in the Metered
Manual mode, a single push of the green
button allows the user to instantly set the
proper exposure for the subject.
◆ The K10D also features two unique shooting
modes; the Sensitivity-Priority AE (Sv)
mode, is designed to automatically select
the optimum combination of aperture and
shutter speed for a user-selected sensitivity,
and the Shutter & Aperture-Priority AE (TAv)
mode will automatically select the most
appropriate sensitivity for a user-selected
shutter-speed and aperture combination.
