Easy, pushbutton control of monitor brightness
The camera’s outdoor-oriented monitor, which provides easy setting of thebrightness level, has been upgraded. In addition to positive settings to assure thecorrect brightness level in bright locations, it now provides negative settings to
improve visibility in dark locations. It also features a red-lit monitor display
function to facilitate monitor viewing when youreyes have become accustomed to a dark location
during astronomical or nighttime photography.

Operation Assist Light

Dependable dustproof, weather-resistant construction–10°C cold-resistant construction

Supporting camera operations in the dark

A completely environment-resistant imaging system, with a weather-resistant lensUnmatched reliability proven under vigorous testing conditions

A combination of the K-1 Mark II’s 87 sealing parts and the optional D-BG6 Battery Grip’s
watertight body prevents the intrusion of water and dust into their interior. When an AW- or
WR-series lens is mounted,* the K-1 Mark II and its lens forms a remarkable digital imaging
system totally resistant to demanding environmental factors.

Anticipating use in cold locations, PENTAX has subjected the K-1 Mark II toexacting environmental tests at temperatures as low as –10°C, and gathered avast array of data on operational precision, response and stability of mechanisms
and circuits, as well as fluctuations in battery voltage.* As the result, the K-1
Mark II assures solid, trouble-free operation even at freezing temperatures.

Four Operation Assist Lights are strategically positioned around the camera body:at the upper side of the lens mount, behind the LCD monitor, at the memory cardslot, and at the cable switch terminal. With a push of the illumination button, you
can turn them on* to facilitate lens and memory card changes, control button
operations, and attachment and removal of a cable switch, for more efficient,
comfortable shooting of nighttime outdoor scenes and poorly lit indoor subjects.

* AW stands for All Weather (dustproof and weather-resistant construction), while WR stands for Weather Resistant(simplified weather-resistant construction).

* The LED lights can be switched on and off individually. They are all set to the off mode at default setting.

Note: Battery performance declines as the temperature goes down. When shooting in cold environments,
the user is advised to carry spare batteries and keep them warm by storing them in an inside pocket.

field conditions, such as poor weather,darkness and freezing temperatures
SR II in-body shake reduction mechanism
Five-axis, five shutter step camera shake compensation
The PENTAX-original sensor-shift-type shake reduction mechanism to provide optimum compensation for all
lenses used in handheld shooting. The SR II (Shake Reduction II) features a five-axis mechanism to compensate
for camera 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 tomore common camera shake caused by pitch and yaw. The SR II unit is controlled with great precision as soon
as the camera’s power is turned on, and provides a wide compensation range — as much as five shutter
steps** — to expand the limits of handheld shooting.

SR : OFFSR : ON

Compatible with panning shots
When taking a panning shot, this mechanism efficiently
controls the SR unit to detect only the direction of thecamera’s movement, while compensating for all other affecting
vectors. Because of this, the K-1 Mark II captures beautiful,
high-resolution images both in normal shooting and panningphotography, without requiring any switching operation.

* During Live View shooting, this mechanism does not compensate for camera shake caused by horizontally and vertical shift.
** Measured in conformity to CIPA standards, using an HD PENTAX-D FA 28-105mm F3.5-5.6ED DC WR lens at a focal length of 105mm.

SR : OFFSR : ONDR II (Dust Removal II) mechanism

High-rigidity, extra-durable body

Effective removal of foreign particles
from the image sensor

A shell structure shielding a metallic chassis with amagnesium alloy casing

Using its piezoelectric element, this innovative mechanism applies ultrasonicvibrations to the optical glass panel placed in front of the image sensor. Thiseffectively removes all dust particles clinging to the image sensor surface, andprevents annoying dust spots from appearing on a captured image.

The K-1 Mark II’s exterior casing is made of highly rigid, lightweightmagnesium alloy, which provides excellent shock-resistance and electromagnetic
shielding performance. By coupling it with a high-rigidity metallic chassis
housing the core components, the K-1 Mark II forms a compound structure toassure outstanding durability
and exceptional reliability.

High-precision AE / AF operationat –3EV illumination

Extra-durable shutter unit

Dual card slot

Withstanding 300,000 shutter releases for
professional use

Large-volume image data filing on
two SD memory cards

An illumination level of –3EV makes it difficult to see a
subject with the naked eye, and almost impossible to
make accurate focus with manual focusing. Even undersuch low-illumination conditions, the K-1 Mark II assureshigh-precision auto-exposure and autofocus operations.*
Thanks to its upgraded algorithm, its autofocus responsetime for poorly illuminated subjects is greatly reduced.
Coupled with its super-high-resolution imaging power,
the K-1 Mark II delivers exceptional shooting
performance in dark locations.

After a series of exacting performance tests, the K-1
Mark II’s shutter unit has proven its exceptional
durability by withstanding a total of 300,000
shutter releases. It assures outstanding operational
precision and exceptional durability required forexacting professional work.

Extra-accurate auto-exposure and autofocus
control, even in the dark

The K-1 Mark II’s card slot accepts two SD memory
cards, with a choice of three data filing modes:“Serial” to store a large volume of data successively
from one card to another; “Duplicate” (simultaneous
filing) for simplified data backup, and “RAW / JPEG
Division” to separate data files based on the recording
format. It is also
possible to copy an
image stored on one
card to another.

* Light metering measured at ISO 100 and with a 50mm F1.4 lens; focusing

Effortless expression of the ideal tone and shade for each subject

Faithful reproduction of highlights and shadowsDocumenting a constantly changing subject in high resolution

Tethered photography from a personal computer

The K-1 Mark II’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 ofscene or subject and selects the best finishing touch for you, and Flat, which
produces a base image most tolerant to retouching, the K-1 Mark II provides
a total of 13 Custom Image modes.* Each mode provides minute adjustmentof parameters such as saturation, shade, key, contrast and sharpness.*** 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.

The K-1 Mark II’s HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode* delivers an image similar
to that detected by the naked eye, by minimizing white-washed highlights andpitch-black shadows, even with extreme high-contrast scenes. It also allows you to
set a range of exposure shifts or use the Automatic Position Adjustment function.**
Since this mode can save original
image files in the RAW format,
you can develop them bychanging HDR settings orturning the HDR mode off. By
using a PC and the included
software, you can also divide asingle RAW-format file into three
separate RAW-format images, andsave them as independent files.
HDR[Type3]* This HDR function cannot be used in some shooting modes, and is not compatible with some other functions.
** The Automatic Position Adjustment function is fixed at the OFF mode when the Interval or Interval Movie shooting

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

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 thesubject’s skin, while keeping the high-resolution rendition in its hair andclothing and in the background. It depicts your subject with smooth texture
and healthy skin tones.
* Both of these functions are technologies developed by RICOH Co., Ltd.
** The Skin Tone correction function can be activated only when the Face Detection mode is selected.

The K-1 Mark II lets you capture the desired number of images — from two to
2,000 — to synthesize a single composite image, with three synthesis modes:
average, additive andcomparative brightness. In
Live View shooting, the K-1
Mark II displays a translucent
image of the already captured
image on its LCD monitor,
allowing you to make precisealignment of the images.

The K-1 Mark II’s Interval Movie mode allows you to record still images of aslowly 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 Mark II also provides the Star
Stream function, which lets you draw the magical traces of stars in a movie.

By installing the optional IMAGE Transmitter 2 tethering software on your PC
and connecting it with the K-1 Mark II via USB terminal, you can operate the K-1
Mark II, automatically transfer and save recorded images, and check photographic
data on your computer. This greatly improves the efficiency of studio shooting.
Note: For proper use, the software must be upgraded to the latest version. Please access our official website for details.

* When playing back the movie file on a device other than the K-1 Mark II, the user is advised to use a PC operating
environment supporting 4K-resolution movie playback.

Wi-Fi compatibility

Movie recording
Full HD movies with a beautiful bokeh effectRemote control of the camera using a smartphone
By wirelessly connecting the PENTAX K-1 Mark II withyour smartphone,* you can capture images from a distance,browse them on the smartphone screen, and transfer them to another device.**
You can not only set various shooting functions and change their settings, butalso adjust the focus, release the shutter, and confirm the captured images.
* Access the RICOH IMAGING official website or contact our customer service center for compatible smartphone
operating systems.
** 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).

Exclusive software for high-quality finish and browsing

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

Supported by the acclaimed SILKYPIX® image development engine, this software allows you
to browse through captured images and develop them into RAW-format files on a computer.

Additive mode

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, theCTE (Color Temperature Enhancement) mode emphasizes 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 ofcolors such as dark greens and faint pinks.

The PENTAX K-1 Mark II develops RAW-format files within the camera bodywithout the help of a PC, and lets you save them as JPEG- or TIFF-format files.
This assures greater flexibility in creating a captured image that is more faithful
to your creative intentions, without requiring a PC. Thanks to a host of
adjustable parameters, it also allows you to add the desired finishing touch toyour image regardless of a location, until you are truly satisfied with the result.

Cropping frame

Crop mode
Automatic switching of an image area with attachment of a lens★

When a DA -,-, DA Limited- or DA-series lens is mounted on the K1 Mark II, its Crop mode automaticallyK-1
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 even capture a 35mm full-frame image with a DA-series lens.*

as a leading field camera brand
PENTAX K-1 Mark II
Body Kit“It’s better to be small if you want to carry it outdoors.”“It must withstand the rain, mist or dust.”

PENTAX K-1 Mark II
28-105WR Lens Kit

In response to comments such as these from bothprofessional and amateur photographers, PENTAX has
provided compact, lightweight and dependable fieldcameras since the time of film photography.
There were famed medium-format film cameras, such as
the PENTAX 6x7 and 645. The PENTAX LX boasted
the world’s first dustproof, weather-resistantconstruction.* The PENTAX ME and MX became theworld’s smallest, lightest models.* While they left theirnames in camera history because of their remarkablemaneuverability and superb imaging power, they werealso epoch-making cameras which helped PENTAX gaina reputation as the world’s leading brand of field cameras.

The PENTAX *ist-D, PENTAX’s first digital SLR
camera, was the world’s smallest, lightest model in
its category.* The PENTAX K10D and 645D, bothof which were named triple-crown winners of theworld’s most prestigious camera awards, greatly
expanded the boundary of outdoor photography byassuring outstanding dustproof, weather-resistantand cold-proof performance.
The PENTAX K-1 and its successor PENTAX K-1
Mark II feature a host of innovative functions
highly useful in outdoor photography, and are
expected to further expand the possibilities of field
photography.
PENTAX remains a leading field camera brand, andits illustrious history continues into the future.
* The remarks “world’s first” and “world’s smallest, lightest” are based on PENTAX’s research.
