Camera Characteristics

 

• Uses a 23.5×15.7mm CCD with 6.1 mega-pixels of effective pixels for

 

high precision and a wide dynamic range.

• Small, light, and highly rigid among digital cameras with interchangeable

lenses.

Before

• Consecutive shooting at approximately three 2.6 per second (6 frames

max.) with noise reduction off.

using

• Features a newly developed AF sensor, with 11-point distance

measurement. (Center uses a wide cross area AF including 9 focus

points.)

your

• Improved manual focusing using a viewfinder similar to a conventional

camera

35mm SLR camera, but with 0.95× magnification. Also features a

superimpose function, in which the focus points on the viewfinder

illuminate red.

 

 

• Can use two CR-V3 lithium batteries, four AA lithium batteries, four AA

 

Ni-MH batteries or four AA alkaline batteries.

 

• Features the two-dial hyper operating system.

 

• Can install the battery grip (sold separately) which uses the same

 

batteries as the camera, extends battery life and has a vertical shutter

 

release button.

 

 

 

This camera can be used with a variety of Pentax 35mm interchangeable

 

lenses.

 

While the size of the CCD is 23.5×15.7mm, the format size of the 35mm

 

camera is 36×24mm. As a result, the angle of view (the size and scale of

 

the subject to be photographed) will differ from 35mm cameras when

 

lenses of the same focal length are used to take pictures from the same

 

distance.

 

The format size of a 35mm camera is approximately 1.5 times larger than

 

the format size of this camera. As such, focal distance when the lens for

 

35mm format lens is attached to this camera will be equivalent to approx.

 

1.5 times more than the value noted on the lens.
