•Records in the versatile JPEG format or the high quality and fully editable RAW format. You can also select JPEG+RAW and record in both formats. Pictures taken in RAW format can be easily processed internally by the camera.

•Features Custom Image and White Balance which allow you to readjust images shot in JPEG format without affecting the image quality.

•Supports the optional Battery Grip D-BG4 with vertical shutter release button. If a battery (D-LI90) is inserted in both the camera and grip, the battery with more power is prioritized. This enables you to get the best camera performance for an extended period. A menu item also allows you to prioritize a battery and use its full power before switching to the other battery.

The captured area (view angle) will differ between the Qand 35 mm SLR cameras even if the same lens is used because the format size for 35 mm film and CMOS sensor are different.

Sizes for 35 mm film and CMOS sensor

35 mm film

: 36×24 mm

QCMOS sensor

: 23.4×15.6 mm

Angles of view being equal, the focal length of a lens used with a 35 mm camera must be approximately 1.5 times longer than that of Q. To obtain an angle of view framing the same area, divide the focal length of the 35 mm lens by 1.5.

Example) To capture the same image as a 150 mm lens attached to a 35 mm camera

150÷1.5=100

Use a 100 mm lens with the Q.

Inversely, multiply the focal length of the lens used with the Qby 1.5 to determine the focal length for 35 mm cameras.

Example) If 300 mm lens is used with the Q 300×1.5=450

Focal length is equivalent to a 450 mm lens on a 35 mm camera.

Shake Reduction (SR)

Shake Reduction (SR) on the Qfeatures a PENTAX original system which uses magnetic force to move the image sensor at high speeds, compensating camera shake.

The camera may generate some operating noise when it is shaken, such as when changing the composition of a picture. It is not a malfunction.
