Category: pentax camera
Enhanced Immersion with the Viewfinder
The K-3 Mark III’s viewfinder has been thoughtfully designed to enhance your photography experience. It not only allows for a more natural sight alignment but is also structured so your nose won’t touch the camera body. With the inclusion of an eye sensor, the display automatically turns off as you look through the viewfinder. This feature minimizes screen illumination, significantly improving your visibility while shooting and making the image capture process more enjoyable.
A Heritage of Craftsmanship Meets Cutting-Edge Technology
Carrying forward a legacy built on a passion for photography, the flagship APS-C model, K-3 Mark III, masterfully blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary technological advancements. The newly redesigned optical viewfinder provides a full 100% field of view and a 1.05x image magnification. Offering a wide viewing angle comparable to full-frame cameras, the viewfinder also enhances image brightness thanks to the improved reflectance of the pentaprism.
Unmatched Low-Light Performance
With a top ISO sensitivity of 1.6 million, the K-3 Mark III excels in low-light conditions, ensuring exceptional detail capture across the entire sensitivity range. Utilizing multi-dimensional image space filtering, the camera effectively reduces noise without compromising intricate details, thereby maximizing resolution for various subjects.
PENTAX Shake Reduction Mechanism
The PENTAX SR II stabilization system within the K-3 Mark III enables up to 5.5 shutter-step image stabilization across five axes. This feature is invaluable when using telephoto lenses or shooting in challenging low-light environments. Furthermore, this Shake Reduction Mechanism is compatible with every Pentax lens ever made and supports various photographic applications, including Pixel Shift Resolution, AstroTracer, HDR, Image Composition, and AA Filter Simulation.
Rugged and Durable Construction
The entire chassis of the K-3 Mark III is crafted from high-strength, lightweight magnesium alloy. It features 95 seals to protect against dust and moisture, resulting in a sturdy, reliable camera that thrives in demanding conditions.
Superior Speed for Action Photography
A newly developed mirror and shutter drive mechanism, coupled with an advanced image processing engine, enables impressive 12 frames per second (FPS) image capture, making it ideal for fast-moving subjects.
Advanced Autofocus System
The K-3 Mark III features an enhanced SAFOX13 autofocus system with 101 AF points, expanding the AF area for quicker responses and high-accuracy subject tracking.
Flexible Storage Solutions
Dual SD card slots allow for simultaneous image capture and tailored image storage options. Slot 1 supports UHS-II cards for rapid read/write speeds, ensuring efficient image transfer.
High-Resolution Touchscreen LCD
The high-resolution touchscreen LCD facilitates quick access to the camera's menu system for operational and image customization. This intuitive interface also enables enhanced image review capabilities, allowing you to swipe and pinch seamlessly through your shots.
