Pentax K3 +18-135mm Wr

Weather-resistant body with 92 sealed joints

• 24MP CMOS stabilized sensor
• No low-pass filter
• AA filter simulation function
• Advanced muaré correction

The K-3 is equipped with a new 23.5mm x 15.6mm APSC CMOS image sensor of 24 effective megapixels. Images are processed by PENTAX's new PRIME III image processor, with a high-speed imaging capability and new noise controls.

The K-3 has an SR stabilization system developed by PENTAX that can be used with any interchangeable PENTAX compatible lens**. Thanks to the implementation of a new SR-dedicated servo controller and an increase in the magnetic working force of the SR unit, this mechanism ensures the compensation of camera movement in a more efficient and more stable way than ever before.

The K-3 PENTAX incorporates the newly developed anti-aliasing simulation system****, which applies microscopic vibrations to the image sensor unit at the subpixel level, during image exposure, generating the same level of effect as optical AA or low-pass filters. This innovative new system allows not only to activate and deactivate the anti-aliasing filter, but also makes it possible to adjust the effect level. This allows the photographer to set the ideal AA filter level based on the scene.

The design of the SR unit, which allows the movement of the sensor in all directions, offers the photographer a number of advantages, such as being able to shoot at pulse at very low shutter speeds, as well as being able to include automatic level compensation, fine adjustment of composition, etc. It is also possible, in combination with the GPS module, to use the advanced functions of the ASTROTRACER module, which simplifies astronomical photography, by tracking the sky and stars.
