Pentax K-3 Mark III Camera Body
The Pentax K-3 Mark III builds on the Pentax legacy, incorporating a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with approximately 25.73 effective megapixels. The camera produces super-high-resolution images by coupling this sensor with an AA (anti-aliasing)-filter-free optical design. A new, super-bright optical viewfinder delivers a nearly 100% field of view and magnification of approximately 1.05 times. With a newly developed high-refraction glass prism, the viewfinder provides a wide field of view equivalent to that of a full-frame SLR, fully immersing the photographer in a shooting. It features a high-performance, five-axis shake-reduction (SR) system, and the innovative Pixel Shift Resolution System. The high-definition 3.2-inch touch-screen LCD monitor—the first touch screen in the Pentax K series, improves efficiency and operability.
Back-illuminated CMOS Image Sensor with Approximately 25.73 Effective Megapixels
The Pentax K-3 Mark III is equipped with a back-illuminated CMOS image sensor with approximately 25.73 effective megapixels. The camera produces super-high-resolution images by coupling this sensor with an AA (anti-aliasing)-filter-free optical design. The newly developed, high-performance PRIME V imaging engine and new-generation accelerator unit delivers well-defined images with minimal noise while retaining high-resolution reproduction at all sensitivities — even in the super-low or super-high range. By greatly improving the noise-reduction performance at high-sensitivity ranges, it boasts a top sensitivity of ISO 1600000 to extend the range of scenes that can be photographed.
High-definition LCD Monitor with Intuitive Touch-screen Control
The Pentax K-3 Mark III features a high-definition, 3.2-inch LCD monitor with approximately 1,620,000 pixels. Incorporating touch-screen control for the first time in the Pentax K series, this monitor provides intuitive operation of monitor functions, including menu selection and image zooming during playback. Its air-gapless construction effectively reduces reflections and the dispersion of light to improve visibility during outdoor shooting. The viewfinder eyepiece is designed to protrude away from the LCD monitor screen, so the user’s nose does not contact the camera body.
