Light is clever. On one hand it re assures us tha t th e
world is a familiar, tr usted a nd fri endly p lace. O n the
other hand light can bring a changeab le new perspec-
tive to everyth ing. For photographe rs it is fascinating to
follow these cha nges and to try to captu re strong im-
ages of people, places, objects or landscapes. P ENTAX
understan ds this fascination . That is why we have spent
decades n ding creative new solutions that s et the
standard in photography.
The new PENTAX K 200D is a prime exam ple. For people
who want more free dom, increased oppor tunity and
more pu re pleasure from their p hotography th e K200D
opens the door to the ulti mate expression of creativity:
digital SLR photography. Th e huge pallet of technolo gi-
cal featu res that the K20 0D musters make s it a leading
camera in its cla ss. It links its high level of performance
with a use r-friendliness that makes the en trance into
SLR photo graphy an inspi ring experien ce.
FRO M 0 T O 800 IN 1 SECO ND: P ENTAX PRIM E.
Demanding digital technology requires the highest computing power performance during data processing. The PRIME processor
(PENTAX Real Image Engine) developed by PENTAX ensures that the K200D packs all the computing punch necessary. Data
communication rates up to 800 MB/sec guarantee smooth operation without delays. This also allows the K200D to take a
series of shots at up to 3 pictures per second.

Great feeling can be found in the details. The high resolving power of the K200D’s image sensor supplies photographs of
impressing depth and brilliance. It provides great photos in every sense of the word. The results of the camera are not only
captivating with its image quality, it can easily provide problem-free high-quality prints up to 50 x 70cm in size – and even
larger prints are possible with outstanding results. The 10.2 Megapixel resolution also means that impressive enlargements
can be made from a cropped area of the original shot without having to accept a noticeable loss of quality.
A P LACE OF STA BILIT Y: PEN TAX S HAKE REDUC TION.
Even photography must obey the laws of physics. One proof of this are images that aren’t perfectly clear due to camera
shake: if the camera is not kept sufciently steady at the moment the shutter is released the pictures will be blurred. The
PENTAX Shake Reduction system substantially decreases the possibility of blur caused by camera shake by effectively steading
your hand. This is done by increasing the range of shutter speeds that you can hand hold the camera for. The result is brilliant
photos in critical situations. An added bonus: since the Shake Reduction is integrated in the camera body it is fully func-
tional with any PENTAX lens.
A F INE D IFFER ENCE: PENT AX DY NAMIC RANG E ENL ARGEM ENT (DRE) .
Time and again we nd situations that push the limit of the camera to control high contrast levels. A good example: a picture
of a person in front of a brightly illuminated background will almost always turn out too dark. With the PENTAX Dynamic
Range Enlargement you’ll nd greater detail in shots taken in demanding conditions.
DON ’T GI VE DU ST A CHANC E: PE NTAX DUST ALERT.
Dust particles on the sensor can ruin the best pictures. That’s why PENTAX has rened the Dust Removal System in such a
unique way. Dust Alert is able to clearly locate persistently adhering particles and to accurately indicate their position on the
camera’s monitor. This makes it simple to remove the contamination with the Cleaning Stick that is available as an accessory.

When you’re on the go with your camera most of your shots will be hand-held. In fast moving situations there is always
the risk of blurred shots due to camera shake. Whether the lighting conditions require long shutter speeds or because
the camera, for whatever reason, can’t be held sufciently steady.
The PENTAX Shake Reduction system substantially increases your chances of a getting a sharp image. When the camera’s
gyro sensor registers movement the highly efcient, opto-magnetical sensor technology ensures that the image sensor
implements a counter-movement neutralizing blur. The result: pin sharp images.
PENTAX Shake Reduction gives the photographer an additional hand-holdable exposure range of 4EV – that’s 4 full stops!
Here’s another important characteristic of the system to consider: it is an integral component of the camera body so it’s
fully functional with any PENTAX lens.
DUS T IS SERIO US MAT TER.
TAKE IT I N YOU R STR IDE.
PENTAX Dust Alert is the logical and unique addition of the Dust
Removal Function. It has been shown that under certain condi-
tions dust particles that were not moved with vibration can remain
clinging to the sensor. PENTAX Dust Alert locates these persistent
particles and precisely indicates t heir location. The sens or can
then be easily and accurately cleaned with a Cleaning Stick that
is available as an optional accessory.

With the PENTAX K200D all weather is photography weather.
60 seals on the body and 14 on the battery grip ensure that
moisture, dust and sand cannot wear at the camera. Addi-
tionally, the breglassreinforced polycarbonate housing with
high-grade steel chassis offers the necessary robustness to
stand up to the rigorous demands of daily use.

THE THIN G ABO UT SE NSITI VITY.
No camera – whether lm or digital – can capture
contrast differences to the same range as the human
eye. For example, the face of a person in a backlit
situation often raises problems. The same applies
to the intricate surface design of a bright object set
against a dark background. With the new Dynamic
Range Enlargement your photos take a major step
forward. The PENTAX D RE fu nction performs an
amazing feat: it extends the contrast range of the
picture by a full exposure stop.
The result: a more evenly modulated image with rich
details emerging from darker ranges and restored
detail in the brighter areas. These photos will clearly
show greater spatiality and tension.
