Product Overview

• Style: Body with 18-55mm Lens
• Model: Pentax K100D
• Brand: Pentax
• Type: DSLR

From the Manufacturer The Pentax K100D combines 6.1 effective megapixels with
a host of advanced technologies including a Shake Reduction (SR) system to
deliver high-quality digital SLR photography and user-friendly operation to
all levels of photographers. The ease of use, advanced features, and
attractive price also make the Pentax K100D digital SLR a perfect choice for
users moving up from a point-and-shoot camera. Both the K100D and the K110D
reflect a new digital SLR naming system that references the reverse
compatibility that each body has with the legacy of Pentax K-mount lenses. The
Pentax-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system in the K100D effectively offers a
two-stop advantage for sharp, blur-free images even under difficult shooting
conditions, such as when using a telePhoto lens or shooting in low light
without a flash. The SR mechanism is designed to minimize camera shake by
oscillating the CCD image sensor vertically and horizontally at high speed
using magnetic force, while adjusting the speed of oscillation in proportion
to the amount of camera shake detected by a built-in sensor. As a result, the
system does not require special anti-shake lenses and can be used with almost
all existing Pentax interchangeable lenses.Features:Pentax-original Shake
Reduction mechanism for sharp, blur-free images The K100D features a Pentax-
developed Shake Reduction (SR) system, which effectively reduces camera shake
for sharp, blur-free images even under difficult shooting conditions, such as
using a telePhoto lens, shooting in low light conditions without a
supplementary flash illumination. The K100D SR mechanism is designed to
minimize camera shake by oscillating the CCD image sensor vertically and
horizontally at high speed using magnetic force, while adjusting the speed of
oscillation in proportion to the amount of camera shake detected by a built-in
sensor. This system does not require special anti-shake lenses and may be used
with almost all existing Pentax interchangeable lenses. (Lenses compatible
with this mechanism are: Pentax K-, KA-, KAF- and KAF2-mount lenses; screw-
mount lenses (with an adapter); and 645- and 67-system lenses (with an
adapter). Certain camera and/or lens functions may be disabled.)11-point wide-
frame AF to capture off-center subjects in crisp focus The sophisticated K100D
SAFOX VIII autofocus system features 11 sensor points (with nine cross-type
sensors) to automatically focus on the subject with utmost precision, even
when it is positioned off center. The in-focus sensor point is automatically
superimposed in red in the viewfinder for at-a-glance confirmation. This high-
precision AF system offers a choice of two AF modes: the conventional single
AF, and the continuous AF, which maintains focus on the moving subject as long
as the shutter release button is pressed halfway down. (The continuous AF mode
is selectable by the user only when P, Tv, Av, M, or B is selected as a
shooting mode on the mode dial. This mode is automatically activated by the
camera when the Auto Picture Program, or one of the Picture or Scene modes, is
selected.)Auto sensitivity control up to ISO equivalent 3200 The K100D
features an auto sensitivity control function, which automatically sets the
optimum standard output sensitivity--up to equivalent ISO of 3200, which is
the highest automatic setting in its class--based on such data as the
subject's brightness level and the lens focal length. Since this function
allows the use of higher shutter speeds in poor lighting situations (such as
indoor sports events and night scenes), it helps Photographers reduce camera
shake and prevent blurred images.Auto Picture Mode for effortless point-and-
shoot SLR Photography The K100D offers the exclusive Pentax Auto Picture Mode,
which automatically and instantly selects one of the four Picture modes--
including Portrait, Landscape and Macro--by calculating various Photographic
factors to assure optimum results. Since this advanced shooting mode takes
away all the concerns about aperture, shutter-speed, white-balance,
saturation, contrast and sharpness settings, the Photographer can concentrate
on image composition and shutter opportunity.Large LCD monitor to facilitate
image viewing and menu setting The K100D incorporates a large 2.5-inch color
LCD monitor on its back panel that offers a wide-view design that allows views
from over 140 degrees vertically and horizontally, ensuring effortless image
viewing even from a diagonal position. With a total of approximately 210,000
pixels, the monitor offers digital zooming of playback images up to 12 times
for easy confirmation of the image's focusing status and details. The large
monitor size allows for large letters, digits, and icons on the menu screens
to facilitate menu confirmation and camera operations. In addition, the color
scheme between the menu listings and the background is optimized for each menu
screen to assure at-a-glance confirmation, even under varying shooting
conditions.True-to-life, rich-gradation images assured by 6.1 effective
megapixels The K100D features a large, high-performance 23.5mm x 15.7mm CCD as
its image sensor, assuring the faithful reproduction of the desired
Photographic intention in the resulting images--from images with beautiful
out-of-focus backgrounds to those with edge-to-edge sharpness. Combining 6.1
effective megapixels with a high-performance imaging engine and advanced
image-processing technologies, the K100D is designed to produce beautiful,
true-to-life images that are rich in gradation. What's more, it offers a
choice of two finishing touches of "Natural" or "Bright" to create a
distinctive atmosphere.Super-compact, ultra-lightweight body, with outstanding
rigidity While the K100D is designed to be compact and lightweight to enhance
operability and portability, it also incorporates a newly developed stainless-
steel chassis and a fiber-reinforced engineering plastic housing to reinforce
its overall rigidity and durability.Bright, clear viewfinder The K100D
features a lightweight penta-mirror viewfinder, which combines Pentax finder
optics and a Natural-Bright-Matte II focusing screen to deliver bright, clear
subject image with a 0.85x magnification and a 96 percent field of view.Top
shutter speed of 1/4000 second The K100D offers a top shutter speed of 1/4000
second to freeze fast-moving subjects and capture decisive moments and
features a flash synchronization speed of 1/180 second and a bulb setting (B)
for extended exposures.Continuous shooting at approximately 2.8 images per
second To trace the movement of an active subject or capture a sequence of the
subject's expressions, the K100D offers a continuous shooting mode that allows
the Photographer to capture multiple images (up to five images at "Best" image
quality in JPEG format) at a maximum speed of approximately 2.8 images per
second.Upgraded standard software package The K100D's standard software
package consists of the Pentax Photo Laboratory 3 that features the reliable
Silkypix image-processing engine (developed by Ichikawa Soft Laboratory) for
RAW data processing, and the Pentax Photo Browser 3, which offers faster data
processing speed and better operability than the previous version and can
convert RAW images to the DNG format. DNG is a public, archival format for
digital camera raw data.Save-by-day Storage Capability on an SD memory card
Images may be stored in a standard format where all files are located in one
folder, or the images can be stored in folders for each day of shooting
automatically on an SD memory card.Additional camera body features: 19 custom
functions to personalize camera operations SD memory card compatibility Eight
distinctive Scene modes to accommodate specific subjects/applications Choice
of two depth-of-field preview functions (digital/optical) Choice of 16-segment
multi-pattern metering, center-weighted metering, and spot metering to
accommodate various photographic applications Noise reduction mechanism to
reduce digital noise during extended exposures Dual power source (two CR-V3
lithium batteries or four AA-size batteries) USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) compatibility
