About Pentax K100D, 6.1mp Digital SLR Camera with Pentax SMCP-DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL AF Zoom Lens
Full-featured, user-friendly, affordable K100D...
Compatible with any PENTAX lens ever produced* and featuring Shake Reduction, the affordable PENTAX K100D is the kind of camera that makes history. Picture a large 2.5 inch LCD monitor with 210,000 pixel resolution and a friendly Mode Dial offering Auto Picture and Picture modes as well as new Scene modes for evensimpler photography.
The 6.1 megapixel APS-C size CCD and sophisticated 16-segment multi-pattern metering delivers outstanding image reproduction, while the bright, high-precision PENTAX mirror viewfinder features with 0.85x magnification. All these features combine in a compact design with high-rigidity stainless-steel chassis that is built to last.
*With adaptor for screw mount and 645/67 lenses.)
The sleek, compact body design with a high-rigidity stainless-steel chassis offers convenient SD media Card storage and High Speed USB 2.0 data transfer and operates on AA batteries, 2CR-V3 lithium batteries, or optional AC adapter.
The PENTAX-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system in the K100D effectively offers a two-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.
The SR mechanism is designed to minimize camera shake by oscillating the CCD image sensor vertically and horizontally at high speed using magnetic force, while adjusting the speed of o scillation in proportion to the amount of camera shake detected by a built-in sensor. As a result, the system does not require special anti-shake lenses and can be used with almost all existing PENTAX interchangeable lenses.
The sophisticated K100D SAFOX VIII autofocus system features 11 sensor points (with 9 cross-type sensors) to automatically focus on the subject with utmost precision, even when it is positioned off center. The in-focus sensor point is automatically superimposed in red in the viewfinder for at-a-glance confirmation. This high-precision AF system offers a choice of two AF modes: the conventional single AF, and the continuous AF, which maintains focus on the moving subject as long as the shutter release button is pressed halfway down.
The K100D features an auto sensitivity control function, which automatically sets the optimum standard output sensitivity up to equivalent ISO of 3200, which is the highest automatic setting in its class based on such data as the subject's brightness level and the lens focal length.
The K100D offers the exclusive PENTAX Auto Picture Mode, which automatically andinstantly selects one of the four Picture modes, including Portrait, Landscape and Macro by calculating various photographic factors to assure optimum results.
The K100D incorporates a large 2.5 inch color LCD monitor on its back panel thatoffers a wide-view design that allows views from over 140 degrees vertically and horizontally, ensuring effortless image viewing.
