Sensor movement a single pixel at a time, to capture four shots. Pixel Shift Resolution merges these By merging those shots into shots into a single file to generate an ultra high-definition image. This method a single image, an ultra high- definition image is generated. All RGB colour differs from the traditional Bayer method, which acquires only a single element CMOS image information Light sensor receiver Light Light Light obtained for of colour information for every pixel by acquiring Full RGB colour information for each pixel every pixel. This difference makes it excellent for detail and colour reproduction, The information and diagrams here are for visualizing the structure and effects of Pixel Shift Resolution. creating super high-definition images. This also prevents false colours from occurring, and also has a high-sensitivity noise reduction effect when compared to normal shooting. Photographed RAW images can be processed directly on the camera and also developed using the included utility software by selecting as Pixel Shift Resolution. *Be sure to use a tripod for thorough stabilisation when shooting. *When shooting, use Drive Mode options: Self-timer, Remote Control, or Mirror Lock-up Shooting. *Effects may not be gained if the subject moves or the camera shakes. Shot with Pixel Shift Resolution Normal shot Captures the feather texture and dots on the print in high definition. OUTSTANDING PICTURE QUALITY Expand DSLR detail to the next level of high-definition AA filter-less 24M CMOS image sensor Imaging element for capturing the delicate details of colour and light Approx. 24.35 effective megapixels. Designed under the concept of giving resolution the first priority, K-3 II is an AA (anti-aliasing)-filter-free model. This enables full use of the CMOS sensor’s resolving power for excellent, sharp image quality. This model can faithfully recreate the three-dimensionality and atmosphere of a scene with all of its textures. AA filter simulator A unique function that prevents false colours and moiré only when necessary The AA filter simulator mirrors the operation of the optical AA filter that reduces false colours and moiré, by applying microscopic vibration of the CMOS image sensor. You can select two levels and, in addition to this, you can set the bracketing allowing you to have further manual control when capturing three successive shots. *Effects are easily achieved when shooting at shutter speeds slower than 1/1000 sec. *Cannot be used with some shooting modes, including Pixel Shift Resolution.

    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.

Principle 2 : Our goal is to produce cameras with the power to capture images that allow for direct communication with the subject. We intend to design cameras that create memorable images, that make us feel as if we're connecting directly with the subject, capturing our imagination and captivating our senses. Principle 3 : We design cameras that allow our users to enjoy all the processes involved in taking a picture. We pursue every essential element involved in the joy of photography. From looking through the viewfinder to composing the image, focusing on the subject and releasing the shutter. Principle 4 : We pursue a level of quality and performance that can’t be measured by numbers alone. We produce our cameras not only by pursuing higher performance based on numerical values, but by integrating our designers’ sensory feedback into the design and development. Principle 5 : We respect and value the photographic experiences of our users and view this as an invaluable asset. We want to share all the inspiring experiences of our users, from the hardware to the shooting processes, creating and viewing the images.
