A true outdoor camera must be able to preserve the drama of the moment swiftly and eortlessly, regardless the lighting conditions. To achieve this goal, the K-5 II comes equipped with a new AF system. Coupled with the PENTAX-original SR mechanism and high-resolution image reproduction, the K-5 II captures a world previously unreachable by other outdoor cameras. 09 Power for Shooting Imaging Power AF unit housing SAFOX X delivers incomparable AF performance even in the dark Separator lens and with fast-moving subjects Condenser lens The next-generation SAFOX X AF module was newly developed for the K-5 II. This module incorporates a Reflex mirror high-sensitivity AF sensor that performs brilliantly in low-light conditions. It also incorporates a diffractive lens to greatly improve focusing accuracy while effectively minimizing chromatic aberration generated within the Diffraction lens module. It also features a light-source sensor to minimize focusing errors, particularly with artificial light sources. Newly developed, high-sensitivity AF sensor The combination of a diffractive lens and an aspherical lens minimizes chromatic aberration without the need for independent compensation optics. Select-area expansion to track fast-moving subjects When the AF mode is set to continuous (AF. C), the K-5 II automatically tracks the subject, even when it moves away from Dependable AF operation at super-low a pre-selected AF point, by assessing the distance data collected brightness levels of -3 EV to set focus on by neighboring focus sensors. This function assures stable AF poorly illuminated subjects operation with subjects that are otherwise difficult to focus on, including high-speed action, distant subjects and poorly A newly developed, high-sensitivity AF sensor assures illuminated scenes. dependable autofocus operation down to a minimum luminance of –3 EV (when using nine middle sensor points). When shooting in moonlight, for instance, the sensor prevents the AF mechanism from slowing down or being confused by high-illumination spots in the image field. It also captures low-contrast subjects in great accuracy. High-precision AF with an F2.8 luminance flux line sensor to greatly improve focusing accuracy with very fast lenses The K-5 II features an 11-point AF system, with nine cross- shaped sensors to assure accurate focus even with subjects that linear sensors often fail to detect. This high-precision AF system also works with luminance flux based on F2.8 levels (using the linear sensor at center). This drastically improves the autofocus When one of the middle sensors is selected as an AF point, the neighboring accuracy when using fast lenses with a maximum aperture of eight sensors support its AF operation. The sensors in action are highlighted in F2.8 or larger, allowing you to optimize focusing accuracy using pink on the status screen. a very narrow depth of field. Cross-shaped sensor F2.8 luminance Linear sensor flux linear sensor As the subject moves, the AF point shifts automatically. (The superimposed AF marker on the viewfinder also shifts.) Note: AF point selections include Auto, Select and Center. Note: Only the in-focus point is highlighted during actual operation. 10 CMOS Sensor In-body shake reduction mechanism assures sharp, blur-free images and delivers innovative functions to aid the user The K-5 I I features the PENTAX-developed image sensor-shift type SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism compatible with all PENTAX interchangeable lenses. Using a high-sensitivity gyro sensor, it effectively compensates for even the slightest camera shake to optimize the resolving power of the high-performance image sensor. This mechanism is not only effective in low-light conditions, but also comes in handy during Live View shooting and movie recording. Note: This mechanism compensates camera shake by as much as three shutter steps. Image-composition fine-adjustment Auto level compensation function for to minimize tripod head adjustments hands-off adjustment of horizontal inclination This function is one of the additional benefits of the SR mechanism. When the K-5 II is mounted on a tripod, it allows you to effortlessly The K-5 II automatically compensates for horizontal inclination of make minute adjustment to image composition and compensate for the image, and brings it to a level position by tilting the image the camera’s tilt, by shifting the image sensor along the X and Y axes sensor by as much as ±2 degrees.* This function makes precise and/or rotating it. This function is particularly useful in composing an horizontal alignment simple and effortless, not only for handheld image during Live View shooting. shooting, but also for tripod shooting. Fine adjustment to image position Using the four-way controller, the image sensor can be shifted by as much as 1.5mm horizontally and vertically. Fine adjustment in the direction of rotation Using the rear e-dial, the image sensor With auto level Without auto level can be rotated by as much as ±1.0 compensation compensation degree. * When the SR mechanism is activated, the maximum angle of compensation is ±1 degree. Glass pentaprism finder with a 100-percent field of view to assure a clear view of the entire image field Another benefit of the SR mechanism is that the K-5 II effectively and accurately adjusts the position of the image sensor to provide 100 percent field of view, without compromising its compact design or imaging performance. The combination of a high-grade glass pentaprism and high- performance finder optics also assures a large, bright viewfinder image ( at an approximately 0.92-times magnification, with a 50mm F1.4 lens set at infinity). 11 High Quality Exceptional image quality at high sensitivities is the key to portray every single ray of light The K-5 II is a low-noise digital imaging system incorporating a CMOS image sensor with high S/N ratio, a gain amplifier and a 14-bit A/D converter in a compact body to deliver crisp colours, a wide dynamic range, smooth gradational transitions and noise-free shadows. Its image reproduction at high sensitivities has been greatly improved, with the wide sensitivity range of ISO 100 to ISO 12800 at default setting. Its top sensitivity can be pushed as high as ISO 51200 when expanded with a custom function. PRIME II with 16.28 eective megapixels High-sensitivity NR (Noise Reduction) for to deliver true-to-life, gradation-rich images easy adjustment of noise-reduction levels The K-5 II features the proven PRIME II as its imaging engine, The K-5 II’s high-sensitivity noise-reduction function can not only which processes 14-bit, multi-gradation image data at high be turned on and off, but it also offers a choice of a reduction speed and produces high-quality, fine-detailed images with level from low, medium and high (with an identical noise- approximately 16.28 effective megapixels that are rich in reduction effect applied to all ISO sensitivity settings).

    Table of contents and Foreword I am pleased that you purchased one of our Pentax K-5 – Everything you need to know…..and then some e-books. As an enthusiastic photographer for many years, I have had many Pentax cam- eras. My first “new” camera was a Pentax Spotmatic, purchased when I was still in Junior High. 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 particu- larly 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 capabilities 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 announced the K20D. It was not a revolu- tion as the K10D was, but it certainly was an evolution of the revolution. The K200D and the K2000/KM, the K-x all followed with no exceptional or marginal improve- ments. On May 2009, Pentax made history again by in- troducing the Pentax K-7. On October 2010, the K-5 is announces as the flagship of the company. With the no- nonsense approach of Pentax, the body looks the same as the K-7, but don’t be fooled by appearances…the K-5 stands on its own. It is definitely another era in Digital Photography and the K-5 is, in the Pentax tradition, the most economical DSLR for the price / ca- pabilities.
