The PENTAX K-1 Mark II: the new standard of the 35mm full-frame K series Rich colors and subtle shades, and a beautiful bokeh and a well-defined sense of depth. When the photographer’s inspiration is truly reflected in all these elements, photographs will become more than mere records — they will evolve into truly impressive works of art. The PENTAX K-1 Mark II has been created as the flagship model that will fulfill this goal. It features a new, advanced image-processing system to deliver the beautiful image quality which all photographers demand. It produces images that are rich in color and gradation, high in resolution, and superb in bokeh rendition. The Pixel Shift Resolution System II — the PENTAX-original super-solution technology — now accommodates handheld photography. The AF system featuring a new algorithm assures high-precision focusing even with moving subjects. While inheriting the PENTAX K-1’s development concept, the PENTAX K1 Mark II has advanced technologies to near perfection. When your creativity is in complete harmony with the camera, your photography will truly come alive. Top sensitivity of ISO 819200 enhances image quality, and expands the creative boundaries of high-resolution digital SLR photography State-of-the-art imaging processing system Greatly improved image quality, even in high-sensitivity photography NEW To reproduce lively colors and rich gradations closeclose toto memorymemory colors in all sensitivity ranges, the PENTAX K-K-1 MarkMark IIII newlynewly incorporates an original accelerator unit, which efficientlyefficiently processes image signals output by the image sensor before sending them to the imaging engine.
