photographic experience available only with the PENTAX K- 3 Mark III

Exceptional imaging power,
to truthfully depict the scene the way the photographer sees it
NEWHigh-performance optical viewfinder withapproximately 1.05X magnification

NEW❺

By incorporating a high-refraction glass pentaprism, the PENTAX K-3 Mark III’s optical viewfinder
provides an approximately 1.05-times magnification (with an FA 50mm lens set at infinity). It delivers
a truthful, wide-view image, equal in angle of view to a full-frame SLR, to assure a truly immersive
photographic experience — one unrivaled by other APS-C-format models. The viewfinder also
produces a brighter viewfinder image, thanks to improved reflectance in the pentaprism, while
newly designed optics provide a high-magnification image with natural, true-to-life image rendition.

In pursuit of higher image quality, the PENTAX K-3 Mark III
incorporates a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor withapproximately 25.7 effective megapixels. It also features an
AA (anti-aliasing)-filter-free design to maximize the camera’s
resolving power.

The PENTAX K-3 Mark III combines the newly developed
PRIME V imaging engine with much-improved data processing
capacity, and a second-generation accelerator unit, to assure
flawless, high-speed image processing operations.

The PENTAX K-3 Mark III’s innovative SR II mechanism compensates
for camera shake caused by horizontal and vertical shift, roll,
pitch and yaw, with a wide compensation range of up to
approximately 5.5 shutter steps.* It also provides a Panning mode
to capture sharply focused images of slow-moving subjects.
*The shutter speed used for still images were measured in conformity to CIPA
standards, using an HD PENTAX-DA 16-85mm F3.5-5.6ED DC WR lens set at
a focal length of 85mm.

Pixel Shift Resolution System

The PENTAX K-3 Mark III’s optical viewfinder features a transparent LCD viewfinder display that displays an expanded rangeof data. You can quickly and easily check and adjust camera settings without removing your eye from the viewfinder. It also lets
you program the desired data on the monitor to facilitate camera operation.

With a single push of the Smart Function button, the PENTAX -original Smart
Function displays a list of up to five preprogrammed functions in the viewfinder
window. Using the combination of the rear electronic dial (used for function
selections) and the Smart Function dial (used for setting changes), you canreplace functions without removing your eye from the viewfinder. Because theSmart Function lets you select and program the desired values for each function,
you can more precisely customize it the way you like it.

This PENTAX -developed system allows you to instantly shift the AE mode from
P (Program) to Tv (Shutter -priority) or Av (Aperture -priority) without use of themode dial. This upgraded system features a new Advanced mode, which assures
greater flexibility in exposure control — as if shooting in the TAv (Shutter/
Aperture - priority) mode (with automatic ISO sensitivity control) or in the M(Metered Manual) mode (with the ISO sensitivity set at a random value).

❷By taking advantage of the SR II mechanism, this innovative system captures four
images of the same scene by slightly shifting the image sensor for each image toobtain all RGB color data for each pixel, then synthesizes the four images into a single,
super -high-resolution composite image. The system also contributes to the
reduction of false color and high-sensitivity noises.

The PENTAX K-3 Mark III retains the subtle outlines of a
subject through effective reduction of noise. It greatly
improves the rendition of subject texture and detail,particularly in the lower sensitivity range. It also provides
a top sensitivity of ISO 1,600,000.

NEW

The camera’ s eyepiece features an eye sensor, which turns the LCD monitor
off the moment the eye is raised up to the eyepiece ring. This not only lets you
effortlessly switch operation between viewfinder shooting and confirmation/
setting of on-screen menus, but also prevents the status screen from affecting
visibility during shooting for greater viewing comfort.

High-speed,
high-precision mirror and shutter driving unit

SAFOX 13 with 101 focus points

Thanks to the combination of a newly developed mirror andshutter driving unit and the high-speed, high-performance
PRIME V imaging engine, the PENTAX K-3 Mark III provides
high-speed, continuous shooting with a maximum speedof approximately 12 images per second in the AF.S mode,or approximately 11 images per second in the AF.C mode.

To minimize the effect of bounce created by the main and sub
mirrors, the PENTAX K-3 Mark III incorporates a totally new mirror
and shutter driving unit. By reducing the operation time for each
image to almost two-thirds that required by conventional units(such as the one installed in the PENTAX K-3 II), it improves
both the operation speed and imaging performance of thecamera’s AF system.

The number of focus points in the PENTAX K- 3 Mark III has
been increased to 101.* Coupled with the expanded AF area,
the camera optimizes focusing accuracy and image tracking
performance with all types of subjects. Its F2.8-sensitive
light sensor operates even at -4EV illumination.***The continuous shooting speed may decrease depending on the type of lens used
and/or the aperture, shutter speed and sensitivity selected by the user.
*A certain amount of time is required for the playback of images captured in thecontinuous shooting mode. The time required may vary depending on the number of
captured images and/or the recording format.

* 41 focus points are user-selectable. (The number varies depending on the lens used.)** At a focus point of an F2.8 luminance flux, with an F2.8-sensitive lens mounted on thecamera body.

THE FIVE PRINCIPLES OF PENTAX
Five principles that express the philosophy of PENTAX.

Principle 1 :We design new cameras through sheer devotion.

It is our intention to produce cameras that will be the preferred choice for photo enthusiasts,
because we love photography and have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of cameras.

Principle 2 :Our goal is to produce cameras with the power to capture
images that allow for direct communication with the subject.
We intend to design cameras that create memorable images, that make us feel as if we're connecting
directly with the subject, capturing our imagination and captivating our senses.

Principle 3 :We design cameras that allow our users to enjoy all theprocesses involved in taking a picture.

We pursue every essential element involved in the joy of photography. From looking through the viewﬁnder
to composing the image, focusing on the subject and releasing the shutter.

Principle 4 :We pursue a level of quality and performance that can’t
be measured by numbers alone.
We produce our cameras not only by pursuing higher performance based on numerical values,
but by integrating our designers’ sensory feedback into the design and development.

Principle 5 :We respect and value the photographic experiences of
our users and view this as an invaluable asset.

We want to share all the inspiring experiences of our users, from the hardware to the shooting processes,
creating and viewing the images.
