Item Description
PENTAX K-1 Mark II body Digital single-lens reflex camera Full size 15996 Black
Condition: Brand new
1. 1. Newly equipped with an accelerator unit that realizes high-quality images and ultra-high sensitivity performance
It uses a 35mm full-size CMOS image sensor with a low-pass filterless specification that prioritizes resolution performance and can obtain high-definition images with effective approximately 36.4 million pixels. In addition, the newly installed accelerator unit optimizes the image information from the full-size image sensor and sends it to the high-performance image processing engine "PRIME IV", resulting in high resolution in the entire range from normal sensitivity to ultra-high sensitivity. While maintaining the feeling, we have achieved high-quality images with thoroughly suppressed noise. In addition, the image processing parameters have been completely reviewed, and we are pursuing the creation of pictures that can be said to be unique to PENTAX, with improved reproducibility of "deep blue" and "lively green". Furthermore, by dramatically improving the high-sensitivity noise reduction processing performance, ultra-high-sensitivity shooting with the highest ISO sensitivity of 819200 has been achieved, and the shooting range has been expanded.
2. 2. Super-resolution technology "Real Resolution System II" with handheld shooting mode Note 1
In addition to super-resolution shooting that combines images taken four times into one image while finely shifting the image sensor unit pixel by pixel using the image stabilization mechanism inside the main body, a new handheld shooting mode is provided. " It is equipped with Real Resolution System II ". By making it possible to acquire information on each RGB color for each pixel, it is possible to obtain ultra-high-definition images that are excellent in detail and color reproduction in detail and exceed the resolution of a general full-size sensor. In the newly developed "Image Stabilizer Mode" Note 2 that enables handheld shooting, super-resolution images are combined using slight fluctuations during continuous shooting, so it can be used in combination with the image stabilization function. In addition, it also has a moving object correction Note 3 on / off function that detects only the part that is detected as a moving object during continuous shooting and reduces the effect during image composition.
Note 1: Use a tripod, etc. to firmly fix the camera during normal shooting. Also, if there is a moving subject on the screen, the image of that part may not be reproduced.
Note 2: Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, it may not be possible to combine well. By shooting in RAW or RAW +, it is possible to expand RAW in the body as an image for normal shooting even if the image is not suitable for compositing.
Note 3: It may not be possible to correct depending on how the moving object moves. In addition, the effect is not guaranteed for all subjects.
3.5-axis, 5-stage high-performance image stabilization mechanism "SR II"
(1) In-body image stabilization that can be used with all mountable lenses Note 4
It enables accurate control of a large full-size image sensor and is equipped with our original 5-axis image stabilization mechanism "SR II (Shake Reduction II)" that can be used with all Pentax lenses. In addition to angle blur, it also supports shift blur that tends to occur during macro shooting and rotational blur that is difficult with the in-lens image stabilization method, and the correction effect is 5 steps (CIPA standard compliant, lens used: HD PENTAX-D). FA 28-105mmF3.5-5.6ED DC WR, f = 105mm) is achieved. In addition, during panning shooting, the camera detects the swing in a certain direction and controls the SR unit so that optimal shooting can always be performed without switching operations.
(2) "Low-pass selector" that eliminates the occurrence of false colors and moire Note 5
It is equipped with a "low-pass selector" function that achieves the same moire reduction effect as an optical low-pass filter by finely driving the image sensor unit in sub-pixel units during exposure. In contrast to the optical type, which has a fixed effect, our unique epoch-making technology that allows you to turn the effect on / off and select the strength makes it easy to set the optimum shooting settings according to the subject and shooting conditions.
③ Unique applied functions useful for shooting
Taking advantage of the SR mechanism that allows the image sensor to move freely up, down, left, right, and in the direction of rotation, there are various types such as "automatic horizontal correction", "composition fine adjustment", and "astrotracer" that enables simple astronomical photography in combination with the built-in GPS. It has various application functions.
Note 4: Mountable lenses are K, KA, KAF, KAF2, KAF3, KAF4 mount lenses, screw mount lenses by using an adapter, and lenses for 645 and 67. Some functions may not be available depending on the lens.
Note 5: This function can be used more effectively with a shutter speed lower than 1/1000. It cannot be used in combination with some shooting modes such as "Real Resolution System II".
4. Flexible tilt LCD monitor with improved ease of use in dark places
The image monitor on the back uses a flexible tilt LCD monitor that can be turned up, down, left, right, or diagonally with a single action without shifting the position from the optical axis of the lens. It can move up and down by about 44 ° and left and right by about 35 °, and by pulling up the monitor from the pedestal, it also supports waist level shooting from directly above. The screen size is as large as 3.2 inches and approximately 1.037 million dots (aspect ratio 3: 2), and high durability is achieved by using protective tempered glass. Furthermore, in addition to a wide viewing angle, the air gapless structure that eliminates the air layer between the liquid crystal surfaces effectively suppresses light reflection and enhances visibility outdoors. In addition, we have improved the outdoor monitor function that allows you to quickly adjust the brightness according to the usage environment to improve visibility in the dark. In addition, it has a red screen display function that is easy on the eyes and is familiar to dark places.
5.33 point AF system "SAFOX 12" for full size
The 33-point AF system "SAFOX 12" (25 points in the center is a cross type) that accelerates the AF.S focusing speed by optimizing the focusing process is adopted. The center and the three points above and below it also support a luminous flux of F2.8, which is effective for severe focusing when using a large-diameter lens. In addition, the moving object tracking algorithm has also been improved to improve the moving object prediction performance of AF.C.
6. "PENTAX real-time scene analysis system" that applies artificial intelligence technology
The combination of a high-definition RGB sensor with approximately 86,000 pixels and the high-speed image processing engine "PRIME IV" analyzes the brightness distribution on the screen and the color and movement of the subject in real time for highly accurate and stable metering and optimum exposure. Realizes control. Furthermore, by using deep learning, which is attracting attention as an innovative technology of artificial intelligence, for the algorithm, more precise scene discrimination Note 6 becomes possible, enabling optimal exposure control and picture creation according to the shooting scene. I am.
Note 6: Effective when exposure mode AUTO (scene analyze auto) or custom image (auto select) is selected.
7. An optical viewfinder with a field of view of approximately 100% that makes it easy to grasp the peak of focus.
It is equipped with an optical viewfinder with a field of view of approximately 100% and a magnification of approximately 0.7x designed for 35mm full-size digital SLR cameras. By adopting an aspherical lens as the condenser lens, a large field of view can be obtained and a clear viewfinder image without distortion can be obtained. The focusing screen uses Natural Bright Matte III, which has a reputation for ease of focusing during manual focus, and achieves a high-quality appearance with excellent bokeh reproducibility. Furthermore, by adopting the transparent viewfinder display, it is possible to display various shooting information on the screen.
8. High-speed continuous shooting
High-speed and high-precision control of the shutter and mirror unit, including a damper mechanism that effectively suppresses mirror shock, and high-speed data transfer using "PRIME IV" enable continuous 17 frames (RAW shooting) at a maximum of approximately 4.4 frames / sec. High-speed continuous shooting is possible (up to 70 frames at the time of JPEG: L ・ ★★★). In addition, when shooting crops in APS-C size, high-speed continuous shooting of up to about 6.4 frames / sec is possible at a maximum of 50 frames (up to 100 frames during RAW shooting, JPEG: L / ★★★).
