1. High resolution, low noise and vivid image presentation
K-5 adopts a newly developed CMOS photosensitive element with a size of 23.7mm x 15.7mm, which has a wide sensitivity adjustment range. Its image data reading speed is higher than all previous models. PRIME (PENTAX Real Image Engine) II imaging engine with the same performance as that used by PENTAX 645D medium format digital SLR camera is adopted. The image sensor with about 16.28 million effective pixels used by K-5 can generate digital photos with super high resolution and fine layers, and at the same time, digital noise can be suppressed to the lowest degree. The sensitivity of K-5 can be adjusted from ISO 1 to ISO 128 by default, and can be extended to ISO 8 to ISO 512 through customized menu options, so as to better meet the needs of different creations, such as taking photos with full aperture under low sensitivity or taking clear photos under weak lighting.
2. High-speed continuous shooting function, about 7 photos can be taken in continuous shooting in one second
K-5 can continuously take 3 photos at the maximum speed of about 7 photos per second (JPEG storage format), which allows photographers to easily shoot high-speed moving scenes continuously, such as athletes, stage actors and wild animals.
3. High-response and high-precision autofocus system
K-5 adopts a new generation of SAFOX IX+ wide-area autofocus system, with 11 focus points (9 points in the middle are cross-shaped focus points). The system has undergone a brand-new design, and the accuracy of autofocus has been greatly improved because of the calculation of light source type during shooting. K-5 also provides the option of shutter release-in AF.S (single focus) mode, you can choose focus accuracy priority or shutter release priority, and in AF.C (continuous focus) mode, you can choose focus priority and continuous shooting speed priority, so that photographers can better set for different shooting needs. In addition, the K-5 also integrates a focusing auxiliary light, which helps to improve the focusing accuracy in the dark.
4. Compact, sturdy and multifunctional fuselage
Although the fuselage of K-5 is compact and small, it is extremely sturdy and durable. The shell is made of durable and lightweight magnesium alloy, and the skeleton is made of high-strength stainless steel alloy. Thanks to the sealing treatment of the whole body 77, K-5 also has a dustproof, waterproof and low-temperature resistant structure, ensuring excellent reliability even in harsh conditions and low temperature environment of-1 C. K-5 also uses a very reliable shutter unit, providing the highest shutter speed of 1/8 second and durable shutter release times of 1, times. Despite its many features, K-5 still maintains a small and compact body design, which is due to Pentax's experience and expertise in product miniaturization accumulated as early as the film SLR camera era.
5. Bright and clear optical viewfinder with a visual field of about 1%
The glass pentaprism viewfinder of K-5 provides a visual field of about 1% and a magnification of about .92 times (using a 5mm F1.4 lens, focusing at infinity), which is more conducive to detecting focusing accuracy and picture composition. The improved new natural-bright-matte III focusing screen can help photographers to focus manually. K-5' s bright and clear viewfinder ensures better outdoor shooting effect-especially when using telephoto lens-which allows photographers to focus on framing and shooting better.
6. Easy shooting in Live View mode
Thanks to the new image sensor and more advanced algorithm, K-5' s contrast detection autofocus mode can ensure faster and more accurate focusing effect than previous products in Live View live view shooting mode. K-5 can also use three different grid lines, including golden ratio separation, as an auxiliary reference for framing.
7. Pentax's original SR anti-shake mechanism and auxiliary shooting ability
K-5 has the SR(Shake Reduction) mechanism developed by Pentax, which can effectively compensate the bad influence on the picture due to shake, and can realize the compensation of shutter speed of 2.5 to 4, so as to ensure the shooting of sharp and unambiguous images. This innovative mechanism is compatible with almost all Pentax interchangeable lenses-even though many lenses are designed for film format cameras *. Because the new generation of anti-shake mechanism can move the photosensitive element freely to avoid the camera's inadvertent shaking, K-5 also provides automatic horizontal correction and subtle angle correction (up/down, left/right, clockwise/counterclockwise, etc.) to help photographers better view and compose.
* The lenses compatible with this mechanism include: PENTAX K-, KA-, KAF-, KAF2- and KAF3- bayonet and screw lens (adapter ring is required); 645- and 67- system lens (adapter ring is required). Some functions of some lenses will not be available.
8. Full-HD video recording (192 x 18 pixels, 25 frames per second)
K-5 provides video recording function, which can shoot beautiful video clips with the ratio of 16:9 full-HD TV (192 x 18 pixels) at the rate of 25 frames per second. Extend the advantages of SLR photography to the field of high-quality short film shooting, such as highlighting the subject through the unique shallow depth of field of SLR cameras, or using special lenses to create unique visual effects. K-5 can also make the film more visual * * *, especially after using custom images and digital filters.
** When the storage speed of the memory card used by K-5 is too low, video recording will be terminated.
*** When using a specific processing effect, the number of shooting frames will change.
9. Innovative image processing function brings unique image expression
(1) Custom image function brings unique image processing effect
K-5 has custom image function, which allows users to easily choose the required color style of the picture, thus better and faithfully expressing the photographer's creative intention, or more strongly rendering the atmosphere when shooting. K-5 provides 9 different styles of custom image modes, including the newly added silver-leaving development mode, which can shoot and create unique visual effects. On the basis of the original traditional definition and fine definition mode, K-5 also has a new ultra-fine definition mode, so that even the fine lines in the picture can be clearly presented and the picture resolution can be improved.
(2) Various digital filter effects
The digital filter function of K-5 allows users to process the photos in a large number of creative ways, and can create special visual effects immediately without a computer. Users can not only choose from 18 different filters (including the latest sketch and tone separation filters), but also use multiple effects superimposed on a photo for many times, thus creating endless effect combinations.
(3) Positive and negative reverse shooting with three preset items
K-5 has a unique positive and negative reverse mode, and the camera will automatically adjust the image elements of each photo, thus creating a unique color effect-just like the special effect brought by the reverse mode in the film era. On the basis of the original "random" mode with unpredictable final effect, users have two more choices: the "default" mode has three preset color styles; Favorite mode allows users to input their own tone parameters.
* * * An unconventional film printing method, which can create special and charming picture colors.
(4) HDR(High Dynamic Range) shooting function
K-5 has HDR (high dynamic range) function, which can synthesize a high dynamic photo with ultra-wide gray scale performance from three photos with different exposures without any computer processing. Provide automatic, standard, enhanced (3 files optional) and other modes to meet different creative intentions. Thanks to the newly added automatic alignment correction function, users can take HDR photos even with a camera.
