The PENTAX K-3 Mark III builds on the PENTAX legacy of outstanding image quality, incorporating a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with approximately 25.73 effective megapixels. By coupling this sensor with an AA (anti-aliasing)-filter-free optical design, the camera produces super-high-resolution images. A new, super-bright optical viewfinder delivers a nearly 100% field of view and magnification of approximately 1.05 times. With a newly developed high-refraction glass prism, the viewfinder provides a wide field of view equivalent to that of a full-frame SLR, fully immersing the photographer in shooting. It features a high-performance, five-axis shake-reduction (SR) system and the innovative Pixel Shift Resolution System. The camera’s PENTAX Real-time Scene Analysis System, supported by the latest artificial intelligence technology, assists the camera in optimizing exposure settings and improving autofocusing accuracy, assuring more accurate subject detection and more reliable scene judgment. The high-definition 3.2-inch touch-screen LCD monitor—the first touch screen in the PENTAX K series, improves efficiency and operability. Its compact, rugged dustproof and weather resistant body makes it suitable for use in the most extreme environmental conditions. The Pentax AF540FGZ II Flash is an on-camera flash that is compatible with Pentax DSLR cameras. The AF540FGZ II has a guide number of 177′ at ISO 100 and an effective range of 2.6 to 26.2′. Additionally, it features an all weather construction with 28 seals that pairs with Pentax weather-resistant cameras for safe operation in all conditions.
Based on core principles of passion for photography, The All New Flagship APS-C model K-3 III continues a heritage of craftsmanship combined with todays new technologies.
The newly designed optical viewfinder provides a 100% field of view and 1.05x image magnification. The veiwfinder offers a wide viewing angle comparable to full frame cameras with increased image brightness due to the improved reflectance of the pentaprism.
Top ISO sensitivity of 1.6 million provides image capture in low light situations and achieves excellent descriptive power in the entire sensitivity range. Multi-dimensional image space filtering reduces noise while leaving fine contours. It maximizes the resolution performance and reproduces the texture and details of the subject.
PENTAX SHAKE REDUCTION MECHANISM – Equipped with the PENTAX SR II, the K-3 Mark III provides up-to 5.5-Shutter-Step image stabilization on 5-Axis’ for blur-free images when using telephoto lenses or challenging low-light. The Pentax Shake Ruduction Mechanism is comptible with every Pentax lens ever manufactured and is also used for other photo applications such as [ Pixel Shift Resolution, AstroTracer, HDR, Image Composistion, AA-Filter Simulator ]
PENTAX RENOWED CONSTRUCTION – To start the entire chassis of the K-3 Mark III is built with High-Strengh, Lightweight Magnesium Alloy. 95 Seals are then applied to the body to prevent the intrusion of dust and watter. The End Result: A rugged, durrable, dependable camera which can be used in the harshest environments.
