Pentax K3 – New Home Sports Digital Camera
Ricoh today unveiled its new flagship, the Pentax K-3. The camera has features on the top from the 24MP sensor, the autofocus system to 27 points, the high fps (well 8.3) And the exposure system that is based on a new 86,000 pixel RGB sensor.
The real news concerns a new function of anti-aliasing that allows you to minimize the moire effect without the use of optical filter’s bywords AA. This option provides greater flexibility since there is the possibility to enable or disable this system according to situations.
The system applies the micro-vibrations (controlled) in the lower substrate to the pixels during the exposure, generating the same level of reduction of moire that would occur using optical filters. As mentioned before the plus lies in its versatility of use that does not stop the activation / deactivation, but you get right down to the ability to adjust the intensity of reduction.
The meter, a RGB sensor, not only collects data to provide a correct exposure but also makes these data available to the autofocus system in order to further improve the accuracy. Thanks to this combination of a sensor algorithm renovated, the Pentax K-3 is able to focus down to-3EV. The general characteristics are as follows:
- APS-C sensor to 24.4 megapixels.
- Sensor-shift stabilization with compensation on the rotation.
- Filter ” digital ” Anti-aliasing (sensor without low-pass filter).
- SAFOX 11 AF module with 27 AF points (25 cross).
- 3.2-inch LCD with about 1,037,000 points.
- Optical viewfinder with a field of view close to 100% and magnification factor of 0.95.
- Continuous shooting at 8.3 fps.
- Full HD 1920 x 1080 (60i, 30p, 24p).
- Double SD slot.
- Ports for microphone and headphones.
- USB 3.0.
- 24MP APS-C CMOS sensor, selectable on/off of anti-aliasing filter
- 8.3 frames per second continuous shooting
- 27-point AF system with 25 cross sensors and 3 low-light AF sensors
