The K200D features the user-friendly Dust Removal (DR) system to
prevent dust from appearing in images. Applied to the CCD surface (or
low-pass filter) through the vapor deposition of a fluorine compound,
the PENTAX-original SP (Super Protect) coating effectively removes dust
and stains from the surface. In the next step, dust that still remains
on the surface will be shaken off when the SR system shifts the image
sensor at high speed. Finally, the dust that is shaken off the image
sensor will fall onto an adhesive sheet positioned at the bottom of the
SR unit, eliminating any possibility of it returning to the image
sensor surface. This DR system even offers a new Dust Alert function,
which allows the user to confirm the dust-adhesion status of the CCD in
advance.
4. Dust-proof, water-resistant construction
The K200D boasts an extremely reliable dust-proof, water-resistant
construction, with special seals applied to 60 different parts of the
camera body, including the shutter release button and
switches/levers/dials. This dependable body makes it possible to use
the K200D in the rain or dusty locations without worries.
5. Auto sensitivity control up to ISO 1600
The K200D’s auto sensitivity control function automatically sets the
optimum sensitivity up to ISO 1600, based on such data as the subject’s
brightness level and the lens’ focal length. Since this function allows
the user to use faster shutter speeds in poor lighting situations (such
as indoor sports events and night scenes), it helps the photographer to
effectively reduce camera shake and prevent blurred images. For
specialized applications, the sensitivity can be set manually from ISO
100 to ISO 1600.
6.High-precision 11-point wide-frame AF
The K200D’s advanced SAFOX VIII autofocus system features 11 sensor
points (with nine cross-type sensors positioned in the middle) to
automatically focus on the subject with utmost precision, even when it
is positioned off center. When the subject is captured in focus, the
in-focus sensor point is automatically superimposed in red in the
viewfinder for at-a-glance confirmation.
