A full-frame SLR fromthe PENTAX K series
What’s the best camera for a photographer ?
Throughout more than 50 years as a leading SLR camera manufacturer,
PENTAX has always thought very seriously about this question,and developed the original technologies to provide good answers.
It’s a history of never-ending innovation and evolution.
Based on its experiences and expertise accumulated over these years,
PENTAX now has the final answer: a new 35mm full-frame digital SLR camera
named PENTAX K-1. Proudly carrying the number “1” in its name,the K-1 reigns as the flagship of the acclaimed PENTAX K series.
While inheriting PENTAX’s traditional compact, durable body design,
the K-1 adds essential values to the 35mm full-frame format, including
state-of-the-art high-resolution technologies drawn from PENTAX’s developmentof medium-format models, an array of exclusive shooting features, and remarkableenvironmental adaptability in the field.
True to its number-1 naming, the PENTAX K-1 signifies the arrival ofa new era in 35mm full-frame digital SLR cameras.

Exceptional imaging power assured by a large-format sensor NEW

The K-1 incorporates a high-performance
35mm full-frame CMOS image

Exceptional resolving power supported by a high-resolution,
AA-filter-free design

Thanks to its approximately 36.4 effective megapixels, the K-1 delivers
breathtaking, true-to-life images — the kind that will seize the viewer’s
imagination. Its exceptional resolving power captures each leaf of a distanttree or every drop of a spray in the finest detail. Since it provides image
data large enough to produce a brilliant A 2 -size print (at 300dpi),
the photographer is assured of great flexibility in image composition, either
by cropping the image during shooting, or trimming the captured image
during processing. By processing large volumes of data with its 14 -bit
image-processing system, the K-1 delivers beautiful, rich-gradation images.

sensor, one that assures the highest
image quality to be found in
the K-mount SLR series. Thanks to
its large imaging area and wide pixel
pitch, this high-pixel sensor delivers
lively, true-to-life images with richgradation and minimal noise. Its
shallow depth of field allows you tocontrol the sense of depth and bokeh(defocused) effect at will.

PRIME IV

Approximately 36.4 effective megapixels

AA -filter -free design, to optimize resolving power
An optical AA (anti-aliasing) filter will affect the camera’s image resolving power, eventhough it will help reduce moiré and false color. The K-1 incorporates an AA-filter-freedesign to optimize the image resolving power of its high-pixel image sensor.

NEW

A new imaging engine optimized for a 35 mm full-frame image circle
The K-1 features a newly designed
PRIME IV imaging engine.
Compared with the previous PRIME
III version, it is fine-tuned to process
higher-resolution images, whileboosting the operating frequency bynearly 50 percent. Its noise-processing
algorithm has also been upgraded tocapture beautiful, fine-gradation
images at higher sensitivities.
A combination of an advanced scene
analysis system and newimage-processing functions helps
improve the accuracy and reliabilityof image reproduction.

ISO 204800

By taking full advantage of the image
sensor excelled in noise-resistance
performance and the PRIME IV
imaging engine, the K-1 provides a top
sensitivity of ISO 204800 (at standard
output sensitivity). This not only
delivers high-resolution images free ofISO102400
tone jumps and graininess at
high-sensitivity settings, but also improves image quality inthe low-sensitivity range. Since the K-1 allows you to raise the sensitivity
level to capture images equal in image quality to those taken at lower
sensitivities, it expands the boundaries of photographic expression.

Reproduction of true-to-life, super-high-resolution images beyond actual pixels

1st image

Reinforced with the SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism, the K-1’s Pixel Shift Resolution System* captures four
images of the same scene by shifting the image sensor by a single pixel for each image, then synthesizes them intoa single, super-high-resolution composite image. Compared to the conventional Bayer system, this innovative
system obtains all RGB color data in each pixel to deliver beautiful images with far more truthful colors and muchfiner details, without any hint of false color. This system also reduces high-sensitivity noise to a minimum.
The difference in image quality is evident at a glance, even without magnifying the captured image on a computer
screen or producing a large-size print. Images captured by the Pixel Shift Resolution System can be saved as
RAW-format files. You can develop these files within the camera body while adjusting various parameters or
turning the Pixel Shift Resolution effect on and off to create a new image.

* When using this system, the user is advised to stabilize the camera firmly on a tripod during shooting by setting the drive mode to self-timer or
remote control, or using the mirror lock-up function.
* When the subject is on the move or camera shake occurs, the desired effect may not be obtained.

Motion Correction function NEW
When shooting an image with the Pixel Shift Resolution System, the K-1 provides a new Motion Correction
function. When this function is activated, the camera automatically detects the amount of subject motion
during continuous shooting and minimizes negative effects during the synthesizing process.** The movement may not be sufficiently corrected when the subject is moving in certain directions
and/or patterns. This function does not guarantee that the movement will be properly corrected forall subjects.

AA filter simulator

State-of-the-art mechanism to optically minimize moiré and false color
By using the camera’s SR mechanism to apply microscopic vibrations to
the image sensor, the PENTAX-original AA (anti-aliasing) filter
simulator* effectively minimizes moiré and false color along the image’s
edges, which are common problems when shooting subjects with minutepatterns. The K-1 allows you to faithfully reproduce your creative
intention on a captured image, either by simulating the AA-filter effectfor well-balanced images or by opting for the AA-filter-free mode forgreater resolving power.

Fine Sharpness and Extra Sharpness

Sharpness-enhancing tools to greatly improve the image
rendition of high-pixel photography
No matter how many pixels and how much resolving power an image
sensor may provide, the captured image can appear as a low-resolution
image if the subject is outlined with thick lines. The K-1’s Fine Sharpness
function outlines the subject with thinner, more natural lines than thosecreated by normal processing to produce a high-quality, fine-detailed
image. It allows you to create a fine piece of art, with a true-to-life
description of the subject. The K-1 also provides an Extra Sharpness
function, which emphasizes the subject’s outline more prominently withmuch finer lines, making it particularly useful for enhancing the outlineof a low-contrast subject.

it provides an exposure compensation of up to approximately two
aperture steps,* making it useful for such subjects as landscapes, which
requires you to close down the aperture to widen a depth of field
without compromising the resolving power.
* Measured under RICOH IMAGING in-house testing standards. This function can be used with D
FA-, DA-, DA L-, and FA-series lenses, with an exception of some incompatible lenses.

The K-1 effectively compensates for the distortion, vignetting andchromatic aberration caused by specific lens properties, and captureshigh-quality images with edge-to-edge sharpness. It even compensates

SR II in-body shake reduction mechanism
The world’s first five-axis, five-shutter-step camera
shake compensation*NEW

The PENTAX-original sensor-shift-type shake reduction mechanism
has been upgraded to provide optimum compensation for all lenses
used in handheld shooting. The new-generation SR II (Shake
Reduction II) features a five-axis mechanism to compensate forcamera shake caused by horizontal and vertical shift** (often
generated in macro photography) and camera shake caused by roll,which is difficult to handle by lens-installed shake reduction
mechanisms, in addition to more common camera shake caused by
pitch and yaw. The SR II unit is controlled with great precision assoon as the camera’s power is turned on, and provides a widecompensation range — as much as five shutter steps*** — to expand
the limits of handheld shooting.

Automatic recording of shooting
position data

Effortless tracking and photographing ofcelestial bodies without an equatorial

The K-1 features a built-in GPS module and Electronic Compass, which
together display the camera's direction on the LCD monitor. Thesefeatures allow you to attach Exif data to recorded images, including
the location, direction and time of shooting (using Universal Time
Coordinated). This comes in particularly handy in situations where you
must make meticulous preparations in advance for the direction ofshooting, such as the shooting of sunrise scenes and celestial bodies.

By making full use of its GPS module, Electronic Compass and SR
mechanism, the K-1 simplifies the astronomical photography of celestialbodies, without the help for an equatorial telescope. Based on the latitude
data obtained from GPS satellites and other affecting factors (the camera’s
direction and horizontal / vertical tilt) obtained by its various sensors,
the K-1 calculates the movement of celestial bodies, then synchronizes
the movement of its image sensor with that of celestial bodies with great
precision. Since it captures stars without a streaking effect even duringextended exposures, you can record faint stars, which are difficult to
detect with the naked eye, as point images.

Supported by the PENTAX Real-time Scene Analysis System, the K-1’s
Scene Analyze AUTO mode automatically optimizes exposure settings,
and selects the most appropriate finishing touch foryour subject. When using the optical viewfinder, it
is also assisted by an algorithm that adopts the deeplearning artificial intelligence technology, andmakes an extensive analysis of a given scene basedon the enormous volume of data accumulated fromprevious scenes.

Multi-mode AE system

A choice of distinctive auto-exposure modes
In addition to the conventional Program (P), Aperture-Priority (A) and
Shutter-Priority (Tv) modes, the K-1 also provides the PENTAX-originalSensitivity-Priority (Sv) and Shutter-speed / Aperture-Priority (TAv)modes, both of which assure proper exposure on the subject by factoring
the ISO sensitivity more prominently into exposure-control operation.
This multi-mode system assures more flexible control of exposure settings
to express the subject’s motion or the depth of field. It also provides a wide
exposure compensation range of ±5EV (in still-image shooting) to expand
a range of exposure control.

Hyper Program and Hyper Manual

Flexible control of the depth of field and the subject’s motion
In the Program (P) mode, the K-1 features the PENTAX-developed Hyper
Program mode, which allows you to set a desired shutter speed andaperture using the front and rear e-dials, while retaining a proper
exposure level. This eliminates the need for turning the model dial whenswitching to the Tv or Av mode.

Conceptual diagram of Hyper Program mode

1/8000-second high-speed shutter

Exceptional operational accuracy and remarkable durability

The K-1 features an electronically controlled, vertical-run shutter to
optimize the performance of the 35mm full-frame image sensor. Witha top speed of 1/8000 second, it allows you to open up the aperture, evenin bright locations, and take full advantage of the bokeh (defocus) effectcreated by the large image sensor. It also provides a flash synchronization
speed of 1/200 second. Symbolizing the K-1’s field camera concept, thisunit is designed to be compact and lightweight, with a well-balanced
combination of high-precision operation and outstanding durability.

High-speed drive mode

Flawless continuous shooting at approximately 4.4 images per second
The K-1 provides high-speed continuous shooting at a top speed ofapproximately 4.4 images per second (at C H setting). You can also switch
instantly to an optional speed setting of three images per second (CM) or
0.7 images per second (CL) using the main menu or Smart Function. In
the APS-C Crop mode, the drive speed can be boosted to as high as
approximately 6.5 images per second to assure quick response to
fast-moving subjects.

Large image recording capacity in continuous
shooting

A maximum of 100 images captured at a high-quality 36-megapixel level
Thanks to its large-capacity buffer memory, the K-1 lets you record a large
number of images during continuous shooting: approx. 70 JPEG images(or approx. 17 RAW images) at C H setting; approx. 100 JPEG images (orapprox. 20 RAW images) at C M setting, or approx. 100 JPEG images (orapprox. 100 RAW images) at C L setting.** These figures are an approximate number of images recordable in the 35mm full-frame format, in the

Image composition and shooting functions
For freedom of creativity and boundless inspiration

Custom ImageHDR

The K-1’s Custom Image function allows you to apply the preferredfinishing touch to your image, based on your subject or creative
intentions. With the addition of Auto Select, in which the camera
automatically detects the type of scene or subject and selects the bestfinishing touch for you, and Flat, which produces a base image mosttolerant to retouching, the K-1 now provides a total of 13 Custom Image
modes.* Each mode provides minute adjustment of parameters such as
saturation, shade, key, contrast and sharpness.**

The K-1’s HDR (High Dynamic
Range) mode* delivers an image similar
to that detected by the naked eye, by
minimizing white-washed highlights
and pitch-black shadows, even withextreme high-contrast scenes. It also
allows you to set a range of exposure
shifts or use the Automatic Position Adjustment function.** Since thismode can save original image files in the RAW format, you can develop themby changing HDR settings or turning the HDR mode off. By using a PC and
the included software, you can also divide a single RAW-format file into
three separate RAW-format images, and save them as independent files.

Effortless expression of the ideal tone and shade for each subject* The Custom Image mode is fixed to Auto Select when the camera’s exposure mode is set to AUTO.
** Adjustable parameters may vary depending on the selected Custom Image mode.

Faithful reproduction of highlights and shadows* This HDR function cannot be used in some shooting modes, and is not compatible with some otherfunctions.
** The Automatic Position Adjustment function is fixed at the OFF mode when the Interval or IntervalMovie shooting mode is selected.

Clarity control and Skin Tone correction*
Compensation of the subject’s texture, while retaining
the image’s overall sharpness

NEW

The Clarity control function is an image-processing technology effective
in reproducing the glossy texture of metals and the clearness of the sky or
splashing water. By adjusting the smoothness of a silky or shiny surface, it
lets you control the quality of texture and the degree of clarity. The Skin
Tone correction function** restores a tender texture and a healthy tone of
the subject’s skin, while keeping the high-resolution rendition in its hairand clothing and in the background. It depicts your subject with smoothtexture and healthy skin tones.
* Both of these functions are technologies developed by RICOH Co., Ltd.
** The Skin Tone correction function is activated when the face is detected.

Digital filters

For creating a dramatized work of art with special visual effects
The K-1 offers a choice of nine digital filters during shooting, and 21
digital filters during playback. You can apply as many as 20 filters toa single image to create a distinctive, personalized work of art.

CTE

For expressing the colors of the mind, rather than truthful color
reproduction
In contrast to the standard auto white balance mode, which is designed tosuppress the effect of a light source color on the image’s color
reproduction, the CTE (Color Temperature Enhancement) modeemphasizes the image’s dominant color based on the color temperature.
It is useful in dramatizing sunrise and sunset scenes or snow-covered
landscapes under the cloudy sky. It is also effective in preventing color
fading or the loss of colors such as dark greens and faint pinks.

IMAGE Transmitter 2 compatibility

The K-1 records lively, true-to-life movies. Thanks toa shallow depth of field provided by its 35mm full-frame
design, it effectively produces a beautiful bokeh effect.
You can also record sound in stereo using a stereo microphone (commercial
product, not included with the K-1), or monitor it during recording using
headphones (commercial product, not included with the K-1).

By installing the optional IMAGE Transmitter 2 tethering software on
your PC and connecting it with the K-1 via USB terminal, you can operate
the K-1, automatically transfer and save recorded images, and checkphotographic data on your computer. This greatly improves the efficiencyof studio shooting.

4K-compatible Interval Movie shooting

In-body RAW data development

The K-1’s Interval Movie mode allows you to record still images of a slowly
changing subject at a fixed interval, and link them into a single movie file.
You can play back the 4K-resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) movie file,* as if
fast-forwarding the time on the screen. The K-1 also provides the Star
Stream function, which lets you draw the magical traces of stars in a movie.

The K-1 provides in-body development of RAW-format files, withthe developed files saved as separate JPEG or TIFF files. This offers greater
flexibility in finishing a captured image more faithfully to your creative
intention, without the help of a PC. Thanks to a wide range of adjustableparameters, you can add a desired finishing touch to your image regardlessof a location, until you are truly satisfied with the result. The K-1 also
features a newly designed user interface for more effortless, more flexible
parameter control.

Full HD movies with a beautiful bokeh effectDocumenting a constantly changing subject in high resolution* When playing back the movie file on a device other than the K-1, the user is advised
to use a PC operating environment supporting 4 K-resolution movie playback.

Wi-Fi compatibility

Remote control of the camera using a smartphone
By wirelessly connecting the K-1 with yoursmartphone, you can capture images from a distance,or browse them on the smartphone screen.* You can set various shooting
functions and change their settings, adjust the focus, release the shutter,and check the captured images.
* The dedicated Image Sync application is required for remote shooting and browsing operations. Image
Sync can be downloaded free of charge from App Store (for iPhones) or Google Play™ (for Android™
smartphones).

From ultra-wide angle to super telephoto, an entire selection of high-performance DA-series lenses can be used on the K-1 without
any modification. They deliver exceptional image quality, despite their compact, lightweight design.

Crop mode

Automatic switching of an image area with attachment of a lensWhen a DA -, DA Limited- or DA-series lens is mounted on the K-1,
its Crop mode automatically switches an image area to the APS-C size
covering the middle section of the image field, while displaying
the cropping frame in the viewfinder. It not only assures high-resolution
images with approximately 15.36 effective megapixels, but also
provides an efficient AF sensor coverage of the image area for more
flexible image composition during autofocus operation. When you
select the FF (Full Frame) setting of the Crop mode, you can evencapture a 35mm full-frame image with a DA-series lens.** With certain lenses and / or under certain photographic conditions, a captured image may
suffer a drastic drop in brightness and / or resolution in the areas outside the APS-C image area.

PENTAX’s SLR camera history:
the heritage of a field camera

When photographing outdoors, it is desirable
that a camera is designed to be small,lightweight and highly resistant to the harshnatural environment.
Since the time of film-format cameras,
PENTAX has developed a series of compact,
lightweight and durable SLR cameras, anddelivered numerous “field camera” masterpieces
to our users. Among them are 67- and645-series medium-format cameras, whichhave received tremendous support from bothprofessionals and amateurs because of theirremarkable maneuverability and exceptional

imaging power. As for 35mm film-format
cameras, the professional-standard PENTAXLX remained a best-selling camera for morethan 20 years, as the first PENTAX SLR
camera to feature a dustproof, weather-resistant
structure. Then, the PENTAX ME became
an epoch-making model for its world’s smallest,lightest body.*
Even after the transition to digital imaging, the
PENTAX *ist D — our first digital SLR
camera — boosted the world’s smallest, lightest
body.* The PENTAX K10 D and 645D, bothof which were named triple-crown winners of

the world’s most prestigious camera awards,
greatly expanded physical boundaries ofoutdoor photography with their exceptional
dustproof, weather-resistant and cold-proof
performance.
Now, equipped with an array of innovative
features useful in outdoor photography,
the PENTAX K-1 is expected to broaden
the potential of field photography, especially insuch applications as landscape photography.
PENTA X’s heritage as a leading field camera
manufacturer will continue into the future.
* The world’s smallest, lightest body based on RICOH IMAGING research.
