PHOTOGRAPHY WITHOUT LIMITS.
The PENTAX K10D not only opens new perspectives to you, with maximum speed and also
with maximum performance. It works more rapidly, more precisely, and more realistically
than any other digital SLR in its class. All components and functions are attuned to highest
photographic requirements. It can shoot up to 3 fps – with a resolution of 10 megapixels.
Recording delays are virtually non-existent because the new image processing system
PRIME (PENTAX Real IMage Engine) calculates the graphic data remarkable speed. Brilliance
in sharpness and colour as well as simplicity in operation and comfort are always there.
And further intelligent systems are provided: supersonic direct-drive technology for ultra-
fast focusing, “Dust Reduction” (DR) against nest dust particles and “Shake Reduction”
for blur-free photographs. Everything is there so that you can concentrate on what is really
important: creative perfection.
FOR AMAZING RESOLUTION: 10 MEGAPIXELS.
The new 23.5 x 15.7mm CCD sensor records photos with a resolution of up to 10 megapixels.
This is enough for you to produce truly astounding ne-grained prints of up to 50 x 70cm
without difculty.
FOR REMARKABLE PROCESSING SPEED: PRIME.
The new PRIME processor (PENTAX Real IMage Engine) greatly accelerates the image proces-
sing of the PENTAX K10D compared to other current digital SLRs. For this a DDR2 component
is used. This has a reading rate of 800 MB/sec. making it 600% faster than SDRam and 100%
faster than the conventional DDR memory.
FOR PRECISE COMPOSITION: PENTAPRISM FINDER.
The bright pentaprism viewnder shows the quality of the photo perfectly regarding colours,
brilliance and picture composition with a 0.95x magnication and a 95% image eld – also
in back light conditions or during night photography. The focussing screen can be changed
for special applications.
FOR PIN-SHARP FOCUS: SUPERSONIC 11 POINT AUTOFOCUS.
You can individually select each of the 9 AF cross-sensors or 2 vertical sensors. The sophis-
ticated Automatic Mode can automatically focus on the subject with utmost precision, even
when it is positioned off centre. Piezo electronics are integrated into our newest lenses that
allow automatic focusing at ultrasonic speeds.
FOR SHAKY SITUATIONS: SHAKE REDUCTION.
The opto magnetic 3D-Sensor suppresses camera shake: it works within the housing inde-
pendently of the lens and counteracts camera shake when shooting with long focal lengths
or under low light. It offers an outstanding compensation effect equivalent to between two
and four shutter-speed steps.
FOR DUST-FREE PICTURES: DUST REDUCTION.
The special nanotechnology uorine coating on the low-pass lter seals the upper surface and
prevents dust on the sensor. The “Dust Reduction” system removes remaining particles by
short, intensive vibrations. For the photographer this means and end to annoying dust specks
and time-intensive retouching.
