Pentax K-1 Full Frame DSLR Camera Body

After years of waiting, Pentax has finally broken through the full-frame sensor market with a masterpiece: the K-1 DSLR Camera. Boasting of a 36.4 Megapixel AA-Filter-Less CMOS Sensor, this camera is primed for 1080p video capture at 30 fps and burst shooting of 4.4 fps. Ease of focusing is also made possible through the viewfinder with nearly 100 percent field of view. You can also retain the details of any subject with the help of the K-1's 33 Autofocus points. Previous Pentax lenses can also be used with this camera thanks to its Crop Mode for APS-C photos. To maintain image and video quality, the Pentax K-1 is equipped with SR II Shake Reduction 5-axis stabilization system and Motion Correction Function. During low light settings, you can activate the Operation Assist Lights for continuous operation. All recorded media, as well as camera settings, can be reviewed through the flexible tilt, 3.2-inch, 1.04M-dot LCD screen. File storage is also not a concern once you maximize the device's dual SD card slots. Housed in a weather-resistant body that is sealed in 87 points, the Pentax K-1 Full Frame DSLR Camera also has built-in Wi-Fi and GPS functions.

Product Features in Detail

High-resolution images of utmost quality
The K-1 features an AA filterless design that prioritizes image resolution. Coupled with the new PRIME IV imaging engine, capable of 14-bit RAW-format image recording. The K-1’s unique full frame sensor and imaging engine design also allows for super-high-sensitivity shooting up to ISO 204800, producing beautiful, high-resolution images.

Shake off the camera shake
The SR II five-axis mechanism enables accurate control of the large full-frame image sensor with all compatible PENTAX interchangeable lenses.* In addition to camera shake caused by pitch and yaw, it effectively compensates for camera shake caused by horizontal and vertical shift, as well as camera shake caused by roll, which is difficult to deal with by lens-installed shake reduction mechanisms. Even when taking a panning shot, this system automatically detects the direction of the camera’s movement, and efficiently controls the SR unit to always produce the best image possible.

Pixel shift resolution system
The K-1 uses the latest super-resolution technology, which captures four images of the same scene by shifting the image sensor by a single pixel for each image, and then synthesizes them into a single composite image. Since the K-1’s SR unit has a flexible design that tilts the image sensor unit in all directions, it provides a host of handy shooting functions, including auto level compensation, image-composition fine-adjustment, and ASTRO TRACER, which simplifies advanced astronomical photography using a built-in GPS module.

Adjusts to previous Pentax lenses
If you are an existing user of Pentax lenses, you need not worry about upgrading your camera. Through its Crop Mode, the K-1 can detect the type of lens attached to it which then allows it to configure settings with ease. Therefore, this allows you to shoot APS-C sized photos with lenses built for such images.

Get the perfect angle every time
The K-1 features a newly designed, flexible tilt-type LCD monitor, which tilts horizontally, vertically or diagonally with a single action, without deviating from the lens’s optical axis. 35 degrees of horizontal and 44 degrees of vertical adjustment can be achieved, the LCD panel can even be laid flat up or down. The 3.2-inch LCD monitor features a tempered-glass front panel for added durability and a unique air-gapless construction effectively reduces reflection.

In focus with the Autofocus
The SAFOX 12 AF sensor module features 33 AF sensors (25 cross-type sensors positioned in the middle). The center sensor and the two sensors located just above and below it are designed to detect the light flux of an F2.8 lens, making it easy to obtain pinpoint focus on a subject when using a large-aperture lens.

Fly high with AI
The K-1’s advanced PENTAX Real-Time Scene Analysis System performs near instant analysis of exposure, color, movement and other factors. Combining with a breakthrough artificial intelligence technology called deep learning, the K-1 instantly optimizes settings for even the most difficult shooting situations.

A nearly perfect optical viewfinder
Newly developed for its 35mm full-frame design, the K-1’s optical viewfinder provides a nearly 100-percent field of view and an approximately 0.7-times magnification. A Natural Bright Matt III focusing screen allows ease of focusing and a true-to-life rendition of defocused areas in the viewfinder image.

A reliable guiding light
The GPS feature records shooting location, facing direction, and date and time into image data. Electronic Compass records the shooting direction, and Astro Tracer combines these features with SRII shake reduction to capture rock-steady images of heavenly objects in the night sky without streaking or blurring during long exposures.
