Table of contents and Foreword
I am pleased that you purchased one of our “Pentax
K-7 – Everything you need to know…..and then
some” book. As an enthusiastic photographer for
many years, I have had many Pentax cameras. My
first “new” camera was a Pentax Spotmatic,
purchased when I was still in Junior High.
I
When Pentax stepped into the Digital SLR market, I
was delighted. Their first few DSLRs (The *ist
series) were the smallest DSLRs on the market but
were not particularly special with the 6MP CCD.
When the K10D was introduced, everything changed and Pentax was suddenly a
major player. The K10D was a breakthrough, in my opinion. It had the capabili-
ties of Professional DSLRs with the price of entry-level DSLRs. It had some
unique features found nowhere else at any price. In January of 2008, Pentax an-
nounced the K20D. It was not a revolution as the K10D was, but it certainly was
an evolution of the revolution. The K200D and the K2000/KM followed with no
exceptional or marginal improvements. On May 20, 2009, Pentax made history
again by introducing the Pentax K-7. This time, it is definitely another revolu-
tion, and maybe bigger than the K10D was when introduced. Once again, Pentax
engineers have pushed the envelope and designed a DSLR with more features
than any camera in it’s price range.
This book is not about me as a photographer. It is about you and what informa-
tion you will need when using this marvel of engineering that the K-7 is. The
book complements the Pentax user’s manual and explains in simple terms how to
use the camera. It contains techniques, shortcuts, explanations, tips, examples
and photographic information applicable to the K-7 as well as other DSLRs in
general.
We opted to publish the book ourselves, just as we published the previous books.
This time we offered the K-7 book in a downloadable form only. We save pro-
duction costs and you save money, and get you book much quicker.
Your feedback is always important to us. As we get feedback from our custom-
ers, we can update the book according to what readers wants. We have incorpo-
rated many of your suggestions from the previous books into this K-7 book.
