Pentax K-3 Mark III Camera Body (Black) with DA 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR Camera Lens
Pentax K-3 Mark III Camera Body
The Pentax K-3 Mark III builds on the Pentax legacy, incorporating a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with approximately 25.73 effective megapixels. The camera produces super-high-resolution images by coupling this sensor with an AA (anti-aliasing)-filter-free optical design. A new, super-bright optical viewfinder delivers a nearly 100 percent field of view and magnification of approximately 1.05 times. With a newly developed high-refraction glass prism, the viewfinder provides a wide field of view equivalent to that of a full-frame SLR, fully immersing the photographer in a shooting. It features a high-performance, five-axis shake-reduction (SR) system, and the innovative Pixel Shift Resolution System. The high-definition 3.2-inch touch-screen LCD monitor—the first touch screen in the Pentax K series, improves efficiency and operability.
Back-Illuminated CMOS Image Sensor with Approximately 25.73 Effective Megapixels
The Pentax K-3 Mark III is equipped with a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with approximately 25.73 effective megapixels. The camera produces super-high-resolution images by coupling this sensor with an AA (anti-aliasing)-filter-free optical design. The newly developed, high-performance PRIME V imaging engine and new-generation accelerator unit delivers well-defined images with minimal noise while retaining high-resolution reproduction at all sensitivities — even in the super-low or super-high range. By greatly improving the noise-reduction performance at high-sensitivity ranges, it boasts a top sensitivity of ISO 1600000 to extend the range of scenes that can be photographed.
High-Definition LCD Monitor with Intuitive Touch-screen Control
The Pentax K-3 Mark III features a high-definition, 3.2-inch LCD monitor with approximately 1,620,000 pixels. Incorporating touch-screen control for the first time in the Pentax K series, this monitor provides intuitive operation of monitor functions, including menu selection and image zooming during playback. Its air-gapless construction effectively reduces reflections and the dispersion of light to improve visibility during outdoor shooting. The viewfinder eyepiece is designed to protrude away from the LCD monitor screen, so the user’s nose does not contact the camera body.
SAFOX 13 Autofocus System with 101 Focus Sensors
The Pentax K-3 Mark III features a newly developed SAFOX 13 phase-matching AF sensor module for dependable, high-precision autofocus operations. It has 101 focus sensors, 25 of which are cross-type sensors positioned in the middle, to assure pinpoint focus on the subject at minimum brightness levels as low as -4 EV. Also, by featuring a new, high-capacity RGBIr image sensor with approximately 307,000 pixels and a newly developed image-tracking algorithm, the camera assures accurate tracking of subjects moving at varying speeds or in an irregular motion. A newly installed AF point selector lever allows the user to select the desired focus point more intuitively (up to 41 points).
Pentax DA 16-85mm f3.5-5.6 ED DC WR Camera Lens
Catering to the needs of the photographer, this lens provides a high zoom ratio of approximately 5.3 times to cover focal lengths from 16mm ultra-wide-angle to 85mm medium-telephoto for lengths equivalent to 24.5mm to 130mm (in the 35mm format). This versatile zoom lens comes in handy for a wide variety of scenes and subjects, including sweeping landscapes and cramped rooms. Equipped with the PENTAX-exclusive, HD coating, this lens is sure to offer sharp, clear images even under challenging light conditions. Consisting of 16 optical elements in 12 groups, this lens features one ED element and three high-grade aspherical elements.
