Pentax K-7 with P-DA 16-45mm F4 Kit

The K-7 brings together a wide range of advanced functions and user-friendly features with outstanding reliability and operability. The 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor, 11-point wide-frame AF and 77-segment metering systems assure superior resolution and exposure control. Fast 5.2 frame-per-second shooting and top shutter speed of 1/8000 second ensure you capture all the action with ease while Live View and HD movie capture enhance your shooting experience. One of the smallest bodies in its class, the K-7's durable magnesium body with a rugged stainless steel chassis and full weather resistant, dustproof and coldproof design makes it the ideal choice for shooting in almost any environment, indoors or out.

Rugged, Weather Resistant, Dustproof and Coldproof Construction
The compact K-7 is built exceptionally solid and durable, with its chassis made of high-rigidity stainless-steel alloy under a durable but lightweight magnesium-steel alloy shell. 77 special seals applied to the body assure reliable operation even under harsh conditions and at temperatures as low as -10°C. A newly-designed shutter unit offers a top shutter speed of 1/8000 second with outstanding durability to withstand over 100,000 shutter releases.

High-quality image reproduction
The K-7 incorporates a newly developed 14.6 megapixel CMOS image sensor, measuring 23.4mm by 15.6mm and featuring a high-speed, four-channel image data readout. This image sensor can faithfully and accurately reproduce fine-detailed, gradation-rich images. The new PRIME (PENTAX Real Image Engine) II imaging engine offers faster data processing speed and produces high quality images with richer gradation and more accurate colour rendition. It also offers high-speed movie data transmission.

11-point wide-frame AF
The K-7's SAFOX VIII+ wide-frame autofocus system features 11 sensor points (with nine cross-type sensors positioned in the middle). By adding a light source type to its data range, and driven by a greatly improved algorithm, this AF system assures reliable, responsive autofocus operation. The K-7 also incorporates an AF-assisting spotbeam projector to improve autofocusing accuracy in low light or dark situations.

77-segment multi-pattern metering
The sophisticated 77-segment multi-pattern metering system quickly and accurately determines exposure in even the most complex lighting by analyzing various types of data (such as the image's composition and format between upright and horizontal, and the subject's distance and magnification) transmitted from the sensors in the camera body.

Optical viewfinder with 100% field of view
The K-7's glass pentaprism finder offers 100% field of view and an approximately 92% magnification, resulting in a converted finder magnification of 0.61, to facilitate focusing and framing operations. A new Natural-Bright-Matte III focusing screen improves focusing accuracy during manual-focus operation.

High-speed continuous shooting
The K-7's high-speed continuous shooting mode captures as many as 40 images (in JPEG recording format, 15 images in PEF RAW format or 14 images in DNG RAW format) at a maximum speed of approximately 5.2 images per second.

PENTAX-original SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism
The PENTAX-developed SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism effectively compensates the adverse effect of camera shake by approximately 2.5 to 4 shutter steps, assuring sharp, blur-free images even under demanding shooting conditions. This new generation version also provides automatic level adjustment and minute angle adjustment (in the direction of up/down, right/left and clockwise/counterclockwise), helping you to compose the image exactly the way you want. This innovative mechanism is compatible with almost all existing PENTAX interchangeable SLR lenses — both old and new.*
* Lenses compatible with this mechanism are the PENTAX K-, KA-, KAF-, KAF2- and KAF3-mount lenses; screw-mounted lenses (with an adapter); and 645- and 67-system lenses (with an adapter). Some functions may not be available with certain lenses.

Comprehensive Dust Removal System
The K-7 is equipped with the newly developed DR (Dust Removal) II mechanism, designed to effectively minimize dust spots on recorded images, even after changing lenses in dust-prone outdoor settings. By shifting the low-pass filter located in front of the CMOS image sensor at supersonic speed using a piezoelectric element, it shakes the dust off the low-pass filter. Its unique dust-alert system also lets you check for any dust on the low-pass filter prior to shooting.

Live View real-time, on-display image confirmation with Face Recognition AF and high-speed continuous shooting modes
The Live View function allows you to view the image on the LCD monitor during shooting. Take advantage of this convenient function not only in the Contrast AF mode, which optimizes the focus based on the subject's contrast, but also in the Face Recognition AF mode, which automatically and accurately focuses on the subject's face. It can also be used in the continuous shooting mode with the mirror at lock-up position.

HD Movie Capture
The K-7 adds a new movie recording function, extending the benefits of SLR photography to the world of movie shooting. Beautiful movie clips can recorded at different sizes — 640 x 416 pixels, 1536 x 1024 pixels, or 1280 x 720 pixels (16:9 high-definition TV proportions) — all at a frame rate of 30 frames per second. The K-7 is also equipped with an HDMI output terminal and an external stereo microphone input terminal.

Custom Image function to easily create desired visual effects
The Custom Image function allows you to select one of seven modes, including the new "Muted" mode designed to recreate an image with delicate, subdued colours, and then, if desired, to further adjust the image's finishing touches to your preference. In addition to saturation, tone, contrast and sharpness, it is also possible to adjust "key" and "contrast highlight/shadow" to the desired levels. The B&W Infrared filter gives true infrared photography with no additional accessories. The effects of these factors can be easily confirmed on a preview image using the Digital Preview or Live View function before finalizing the settings.

Versatile exposure system for faithful reproduction of creative intentions
(1) Hyper Program function
The K-7's Hyper Program function allows you to instantly switch to the Shutter- or Aperture-Priority AE mode from the Programmed AE mode, with a simple turn of the electronic dials on the grip.

(2) Hyper Manual function
When shooting in Manual mode, a single push of the green button allows you to instantly set the proper exposure for the subject.

(3) Sensitivity-Priority mode
Sensitivity-Priority (Sv) mode is designed to automatically select the optimum combination of aperture and shutter speed for a user-selected sensitivity. The sensitivity can be shifted instantly in 1/2 or 1/3 steps by turning the electronic dial on the back panel.

(4) Shutter/Aperture-Priority mode
Taking full advantage of the unique capability of digital cameras permitting automatic shift of sensitivity at any time, the Shutter/Aperture-Priority (TAv) mode automatically selects the most appropriate sensitivity for a user-selected shutter-speed/aperture combination.

Large 3.0-inch wide-view LCD monitor
The 3-inch LCD with 921,000 dot resolution is perfect for detailed image or movie capture and review using the Live View Function. Its wide-view design allows you to check the monitor image from approximately 170 degrees both vertically and horizontally, facilitating low- and high-angle shooting.
