[Inspired by expressive instinct]

● Viewing Ratio Approx 100% Finder

PENTAX has developed a new method to precisely match the image actually recorded with the viewfinder field of view by applying unique mechanism that controls the imaging element flexibly and precisely.

Without enlarging the penta-rhythm part, we succeeded in compacting the body and achieving about 100% visual field rate.

● Effective Approximately 14.6 million pixels

K - 7 is effective about 14.6 million pixels.

Because it is a high pixel, it is possible to trim part of the image boldly.

Furthermore, if you use PENTAX's unique fine sharpness, sharpness will increase and the tolerance of trimming will be further improved.

Effective with all lenses, the image stabilizer SR

Shake reduction mechanism SR (shake reduction) built in the body.

Reasonable specification that can demonstrate the effect with all lenses that can be fitted.

Shake correction effect is about 4 steps maximum in terms of shutter speed.

Even in dark scenes, natural descriptions that make use of the light sources in the spot, and light snapshots on hand can be done.

Moreover, it corrects a slight camera shake which is difficult to understand unless the image is enlarged, and enhances the resolution of the photograph.

【The essence of field camera】

● PENTAX tradition of advanced machines, dustproof and drip-proof construction

The K - 7 is a dust - proof and drip - proof treatment of 77 places, and foreign matter is shut out.

Furthermore, by using the same structure as the exclusive battery grip D - BG 4, we realized a highly airtight body resistant to raindrops and dusts.

● Compatibility between robustness and light weight, magnesium alloy armor

Magnesium alloy is the lightest metal among practical metals and also has high specific strength (strength / specific gravity).

By adopting this for the exterior, the K-7 secures excellent impact resistance and achieves weight saving.

At the same time, heat dissipation which is a problem of electronic equipment improves Relaxation to protect the precise internal structure and luxury feeling unique to metal materials are transmitted as feel.

● Hybrid stainless steel chassis that supports reliability from the inside

K-7 adopts stainless steel with high strength and excellent corrosion resistance for the chassis that becomes a framework for the camera, and has its own hybrid structure combining molding materials with high impact absorption capability.

● -10 ° C cold-proof operation guarantee

Snowfield in the severe winter is also a field of K - 7 development.

We conducted an environmental test exceeding -10 ° C carefully checking the operational stability of all electronic devices and mechanical mechanisms and the voltage fluctuation of the battery.

● Sifts garbage by ultrasonic vibration.

Evolved DR II

K - 7 is equipped with a low - pass filter piezoelectric element.

Instantaneous removal of dust by ultra high-speed vibration of about 60,000 to 90,000 times per second.

We also shake off garbage including stickiness and static electricity, which was difficult to remove so far.

● Sifts garbage by ultrasonic vibration.

Evolved DR II

Many reflections due to adhesion of dust can be discovered only after enlarging the image, there was a risk of shooting without noticing.

PENTAX solved with its own dust alert function.

Detects dust adhered to the image sensor part and displays its position on the liquid crystal monitor.

Discovered dust can be removed by DR II ultrasonic vibration, blower, dedicated cleaning kit etc methods.

【Latest shooting performance describing impression with light and color】

High resolution, high S / N ratio, newly developed CMOS sensor.

The K-7 adopts a newly developed CMOS sensor which has further evolved into an image pickup element.

In addition to realizing high S / N ratio by fine process, improvement in light receiving efficiency by thinning, dramatically reducing various noises, etc., the performance as an imaging element was improved.

Utilizing the characteristics of a CMOS sensor that can simultaneously read charges from each pixel, 4-channel readout is adopted.

While achieving about 14.6 million effective pixels, it achieves continuous shooting speed of up to about 5.2 frames per second.

● New image processing engine PRIME II

The image processing engine is a newly developed PRIME (Prime) II.

With this and DDR2 memory 2 channels, the data access speed is also increased.

With the improvement in processing speed, it enabled response and intelligent image processing as well as loading of abundant new functions.

· Reduction of high sensitivity noise

Especially at high sensitivity shooting, low frequency color noise where red and green particles float in the shadow area.

PRIME II removes this noise with an enhanced filter.

Even in dark scenes, it can produce high image quality that emphasizes smooth tone connection and natural resolution feeling.

Improvement of resolution

Interpolation processing that reproduces the original color from RGB information obtained in pixel units.

Improved sense of resolution and reduced color moire.

● 3.0 type about 921,000 dots, large and high-definition LCD monitor easy to see

The K - 7 pursues the display quality of the LCD monitor.

A 3.0-inch large, high-definition device of about 921,000 dots is mounted.

Not only the live view display, but also the viewability and beauty of the playback image and operation screen are greatly improved.

In addition to being able to adjust the brightness according to the environment, strict image checking is possible by original specification which can also perform color adjustment.

Adopted AR coating for anti-reflection.

The viewing angle secures about 170 degrees up and down, left and right so that it is easy to see even at low / high angle.
