Pentax KF + 18-55mm

Features of the KF PENTAX

A perfect companion for travel, landscape and nature photographers, the KF DSLR PENTAX camera provides exceptional imaging performance in a durable and reliable weatherproof body. Combining an advanced feature set with a compact form factor, this camera delivers high-resolution image quality that revolves around a 24.24 MP APS-C CMOS sensor and a PRIME MII image processor.

Complementing the imaging capabilities, the camera features a 3.0" 1.03m dot vari-angle LCD monitor to allow working from high and low angles, and the monitor also features a night vision red light LCD display function, which significantly reduces eye strain when shooting. in dark places, such as when shooting in night landscape and astrophotography modes. In addition, the KF PENTAX is compatible with the optional O-GPS2 GPS module for geotagging and AstroTracer functions.
High-resolution images
A 24.24 MP APS-C CMOS sensor pairs with the PRIME MII image processor to create clean, high-resolution image quality, a sensitivity range of ISO 100-102400 and the ability to record Full HD 1080p video. The processor and sensor combination also offers a range of continuous shooting capabilities, including a 6fps shooting speed for up to 40 consecutive JPEGs, 10 raw frames or 8 raw exposures + JPEG.
Vari-angle LCD monitor for easy viewing
The 3.0" vari-angle 1.03m dot LCD monitor allows the monitor to be positioned at the desired angle, making it easy to compose images in a wide variety of situations. Designed for both high- and low-angle shots, the monitor features a unique construction with no air gaps to effectively reduce glare and light scattering to improve visibility during outdoor shots.

The outdoor-ready LCD monitor features selectable brightness levels that can be instantly adjusted to the lighting level of any shooting location. The LCD monitor also features a night vision red light LCD display function, which greatly reduces eye strain when shooting in dark places, such as night landscape and astrophotography modes used in combination with the optional O-GPS2 GPS module.

Clear-View optical viewfinder

Within its compact body, the KF PENTAX incorporates a glass prism visor with the same optics and coatings as those used on the superior level models. With its approximately 100% field of view and 0.95x magnification, the viewfinder provides a wide and clear view of the subject for quick and easy confirmation of focus and framing.
Sensor-Shift Shake Reduction and pixel shift resolution system
The built-in shake reduction (SR) mechanism with sensor shift effectively minimizes camera shake and delivers sharp, blur-free images, even in conditions prone to camera shake, such as when using a telephoto lens or shooting low-light scenes in ambient light. , or photograph sunset scenes. Using a high-precision gyro sensor, it provides a compensation effect of 4.5 shutter stops. When taking a panoramic shot, this mechanism automatically detects the direction of camera movement and efficiently controls the SR unit to produce the best possible image without the need to switch modes.

The pixel shift resolution system captures four images of the same scene by shifting the image sensor a single pixel for each image and then synthesizing them into a single composite image. Compared to Bayer's conventional system, in which each pixel has only one unit of single-color data, this innovative system obtains all the color data from each pixel to deliver super-high-resolution images with much truer colors and much finer details than those produced. by conventional APS-C size image sensors. This system even provides a motion correction function, which automatically detects a moving object during continuous shooting and minimizes negative effects during the synthesis process to suit a wider range of scenes and subjects.
AA Filter Simulator
By applying microscopic vibrations to the image sensor unit at the subpixel level during image exposure, the AA (anti-aliasing) filter simulator provides the same level of moiré reduction as an optical AA filter. Unlike an optical AA filter, which always creates the same result, this innovative simulator allows the user to activate and deactivate the effect of the AA filter, as well as adjust the level of the effect. This means that the ideal effect for a particular scene or subject can be set based on photographic conditions.

SAFOX X high-speed autofocus system

The high-precision SAFOX X AF sensor module ensures reliable and responsive autofocus operation. With its 11 distinct phase detection points including 9 cross-type sensors in between, this AF module provides pinpoint focusing on the subject with a minimum brightness level of -3 EV. It also ensures excellent AF tracking performance with moving subjects, enabled by advanced features such as the selected area expansion function, which automatically refocuses on a moving subject after it moves away from the starting point. Additional features include an AF Hold function that maintains the initial focus point even when the module loses sight of the subject.

Full HD 1080p video and 4K interval recording
Full HD 1920 x 1080 video recording supports multiple frame rates, including 60i, 50i, 30p, 25p and 24p, in the high-quality H.264 format. HD 1280 x 720 video also supports 60p and 50p frame rates. Audio can be recorded along with video using the built-in stereo microphone or, in addition, a 3.5mm microphone terminal is available for using an external microphone.

The KF PENTAX provides a number of advanced interval shooting features, including 4K interval movie mode, which allows you to record a series of still images at a fixed interval and then link them into a single 4K movie file. Star Stream Movie mode that allows you to view the star footprints or illuminations in a 4K movie file. And the Interval Composite mode, which synthesizes a composite image with a choice of three synthesis modes: average, additive and comparative.

Versatile image processing functions

With a unique custom image function, the KF PENTAX allows users to process an image with the desired finishing touch to express their creative intent or adapt to the particular scene. This feature provides 14 custom image modes including: SATOBI, which reproduces colors that resemble those of color images from the 60s and 70s, with cyan-tinted blues, faint yellows, and faded reds; Bleach Bypass, which recreates the deep atmosphere of cinematic scenes; and Cross Processing, which adds fantastic, unusual colors to captured images
