Dust/Weather Resistant
Protection From The Elements
Whether you’re shooting in a misty, tropical rain forest,
on a snowcapped peak, or along a dusty desert trail, the
seals around the durable PENTAX DSLR bodies reliably
protect the inner components against humidity, moisture
and dust particles. The ber-reinforced polycarbonate
body surrounding the high-rigidity, stainless steel chassis
provides plenty of strength for every day use.
A complete system: the K20D is protected by 72 seals
and the optional battery grip with an additional 38 seals,
while the K200D has 60 seals in the body and 14 in the
grip, assuring complete protection against humidity, dust
or sand. PENTAX oers the highest level of protection in
either class. Durable and solid: the stainless-steel chassis
is also impermeable to corrosion and is extremely stable.
Dust Removal
Behind the “Dust Removal” designation lays an entire system unto itself. The surface of the low pass lter
is sealed with a nanotechnology based uorine coating. This ensures that dust has a dicult time adher-
ing to the sensor surface. Dust that may remain on the surface is shaken o when the SR system shifts
the CCD at high speed. The dust that is shaken o the CCD, then falls onto an adhesive sheet eliminating
any possibility of its returning to the CCD surface. Dust ecks are now a thing of the past, along with
annoying and time consuming retouching work.
Dust Alert
Occasionally, especially when shooting in humid conditions, the Dust Removal system will not purge
all dust specks. If you are shooting in extremely dusty or dirty conditions, the new Dust Alert system
will save you from time consuming retouching. This system analyzes the sensor to determine if and
where any dust remains after the Dust Removal system is activated. The results are displayed on the LCD
screen, showing exactly where any dust remains. The image is reversed so you can quickly pinpoint and
remove dust from the sensor itself.
