• Features a 23.7×15.7 mm CMOS sensor with approximately 16.28 million
effective pixels for high precision and a wide dynamic range.
• Features Shake Reduction (SR), an image sensor shifting shake
1
Before Using Your Camera
reduction system. This enables you to capture sharp pictures with
minimal camera shake regardless of the lens type.
• Features an AF sensor with 11 focusing points. The central 9 focusing
points are wide cross area sensors.
•
Features a viewfinder similar to that of a conventional 35 mm camera, with
a magnification of approximately 0.92 and field of view of approximately
100%, for easier manual focusing. Also features a superimpose function
in which the active AF point(s) on the viewfinder illuminate red.
• Features a large 3.0-inch monitor with approximately 921,000 dots,
a wide viewing angle and brightness and color adjusting functions for
high-precision viewing performance.
• Features a Live View function for shooting while viewing the subject in
real-time on the monitor.
• Movies can be recorded by taking advantage of the lens properties.
The camera can also output composite and HDMI video signals so that
you can watch recorded still pictures and movies on a TV or high-quality
monitor.
• A user-friendly design has been implemented in various parts of the
camera. The large text size, high-contrast monitor and easy-to-use
menus make the camera easier to operate.
• The body exterior is magnesium alloy, and the dials, buttons, joints, and
retractable parts of the camera are dust-proof and water-resistant.
• Features the Dust Removal function to remove dust on the CMOS
sensor.
• Features Hyper-program and Hyper-manual modes that let you take
pictures with the intended exposure. Also features Sensitivity Priority
Automatic Exposure mode K that automatically adjusts aperture and
shutter speed according to the set sensitivity, and Shutter & Aperture
Priority Automatic Exposure mode L that automatically adjusts
sensitivity according to the set aperture and shutter speed.
• Features Digital Filters to internally process the image in the camera.
You can use digital filters such as Color or Soft while taking pictures
or to process images after taking them.
• Features Custom Image which allows you to adjust settings while
previewing the end result of the edited image, enabling a wider range
of photographic expression.
• Records images in the versatile JPEG format or the high quality and fully
editable RAW format. You can also select JPEG+RAW and record in
both formats simultaneously. When the file format of the last captured
image is JPEG, and its data still remains in the buffer memory, you can
save the image in RAW format. RAW images can be easily processed
internally by the camera.
• Up to five setting patterns can be saved as A mode. In addition,
functions for the |/Y button and the e-dials can also be
customized, enabling speedy operation by any type of photographer.
• Supports the optional Battery Grip D-BG4 with vertical shutter release
button. If a battery (D-LI90) is inserted in both the camera and grip, the
battery with more power is prioritized. This enables you to get the best
camera performance for an extended period. By using a menu item, you
can prioritize either one of the batteries in the camera and battery grip,
and use its full power before switching to the other battery.
Shake Reduction (SR)
Shake Reduction (SR) on this camera features a PENTAX original
system which uses magnetic force to move the image sensor at high
speeds, compensating for camera shake.
The camera may generate some operating noise when it is shaken,
such as when changing the composition of a picture. This is normal
and not a malfunction.
17
1
Before Using Your Camera
The captured area (view angle) will differ between this camera and 35 mm SLR
cameras even if the same lens is used because the format sizes for 35 mm film
and CMOS sensor are different.
Sizes for 35 mm film and CMOS sensor
35 mm film: 36×24 mm
CMOS sensor on this camera : 23.7×15.7 mm
The focal length of a lens used with a 35 mm camera is about 1.5 times longer
than that of this camera. To shoot images with an angle of view framing the same
area, divide the focal length of the 35 mm lens by 1.5.
Example) To capture the same image as a 150 mm lens attached to a 35 mm
Inversely, multiply the focal length of the lens used with this camera by 1.5 to
determine the focal length for 35 mm cameras.
Example) If a 300 mm lens is used with this camera
camera
150÷1.5=100
Use a 100 mm lens with this camera.
300×1.5=450
The focal length is equivalent to a 450 mm lens on a 35 mm camera.
18
About the J
Compared with the I, the J is superior in its ability
to express the fine details, which enables taking even higher definition
images.
1
Please note the following to enjoy the high resolution of your J
Before Using Your Camera
to the fullest.
Relationship between High Resolution and Aperture
When taking photographs in situations where the ability to record fine
details is important, an open aperture up to an aperture of F8 is
recommended to reduce the effects of diffraction. Try using an aperture
higher than F8 in situations where false color or moiré are noticeable.
False Color and Moiré
While the J is more suited for expressing fine details than the
I, false color and moiré are more noticeable.
For example, when sharpness is emphasized in Custom Image, the image
may turn out looking unnatural in some cases. Be sure to take pictures
while adjusting the balance between capturing fine details and image
processing.
To check for false color and moiré, transfer images to a computer and view
them at 100%.
JPEG Quality
If you are going to shoot in JPEG with the quality set to E or D, highdefinition images will not be captured and the ability to record fine details
will diminish. Set [JPEG Quality] to C or Z as much as possible.
Camera Shake
High-definition images cannot be captured if camera shake occurs.
Prevent camera shake from occurring by using a tripod when necessary.
