Like all Pentax cameras it is well built and feels solid

By MATT G.

The camera fits my hand like the K50 it is replacing and has a few more features. The little that I have used it it is going to do everything that I want it to do.

PENTAX KF

The PENTAX KF offers outstanding imaging performance in a compact body. Featuring dustproof, weather-resistant construction and dependable cold-proof performance down to temperatures as low as 14°F, it’s optimized for all types of outdoor photography.

Compact weather-resistant design

This compact, easy-to-carry DSLR is designed for all types of outdoor photography. It features dustproof, weather-resistant construction with 100 seals throughout the body and outstanding cold-proof performance at temperatures down to 14°F (-10°C).

IPXKFB

High-performance optical viewfinder featuring a glass pentaprism

With an approximately 100% field of view and nearly 0.95-times magnification, the PENTAX KF’s optical viewfinder provides a large, clear view of the subject for quick, easy confirmation of focusing and framing.

IPXKFB

Vari-angle LCD monitor

The PENTAX KF’s vari-angle LCD monitor allows you to position it at any desired angle, making image composition easier in a variety of Live View outdoor shooting applications, such as high-angle shooting using stretched arms or low-angle. The brightness level can be instantly adjusted to the desired level: brighter during outdoor shooting in sunshine, or dimmer during nightscape photography.

IPXKFB

In-body SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism

The PENTAX KF features the PENTAX-original, in-body SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism with a compensation effect of 4.5 shutter steps. It works effectively with all PENTAX interchangeable lenses — from ultra-wide-angle to super-telephoto models.

IPXKFB

AA-filter-free design APS-C-size CMOS image sensor with 24.24 effective megapixels

The APS-C size 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, enables the PENTAX KF to deliver super-high-resolution images.

IPXKFB

PRIME MII imaging engine and accelerator unit

The PENTAX KF couples a high-performance accelerator unit with the high-speed PRIME MII imaging engine, effectively minimizing noise at all sensitivity levels, and capturing richly gradated, fine-detailed images, even at its top sensitivity of ISO 102400.

IPXKFB

Pixel Shift Resolution System

By taking advantage of the SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism, this innovative system captures four images of the same scene by shifting the image sensor by a single pixel for each image, then synthesizing them into a single composite image.

IPXKFB

Double e-dials

A pair of e-dials can be used to control the PENTAX-original Hyper operating system. With a turn of either dial, you can instantly shift the aperture or shutter-speed setting without taking your eye off your subject.

IPXKFB

An array of customization tools

You can customize the PENTAX KF’s operation to your shooting preferences by assigning desired functions to the set of buttons, including the Fx1 and Fx2 buttons, and three USER Mode positions on the Mode dial.

IPXKFB

Astrotracer

By mounting the optional O-GPS2 GPS unit (sold separately), the PENTAX KF provides an automatic tracking function in astronomical photography. The camera calculates the movement of celestial bodies based on GPS data obtained by the unit, then shifts its image sensor in synchronization with their movement.

IPXKFB

Wireless LAN function

The PENTAX KF provides a set of wireless LAN functions to support operations using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. Since you can transfer captured images instantly to the mobile devices, you can enjoy them away from the camera.
