Pentax K-7: MP 14.6-mirror camera with the possibility of video recording

Hoya company introduced a new digital SLR camera Pentax K-7. Model K-7 - a professional representative of a series of digital SLR cameras Pentax K. It is compatible with a wide selection of optics with Bayonet mount «K», has a built-in stabilization, works with any installed lens, dust-and moisture-resistant building a flexible, easy-to-use management system.

In this model have been improved autofocus module, built-in system stabilization, the viewfinder, shutter, continuous shooting feature, the system of measurement of exposure. The body of a durable magnesium alloy, high-rigidity steel chassis makes the camera easy and reliable. Dust-and moisture-resistant camera body does not respond either to heat or cold - minus 10 degrees Celsius. Stabilization system, Shake Reduction, based on the shift matrix, offsets the negative effects of shaking the camera. The system is capable of absorbing not only the horizontal and vertical oscillations, but the camera and tilt around the axis of the lens.

Pentax K-7 is equipped with a CMOS-sensor size 23,4 x15, 6 mm high-resolution 14.6-megapixel. The data read from the 4 channels of the image sensor are processed the next generation of Pentax PRIME II. The new system SAFOX VIII + were still represents a 11 fokusirovochnyh sensor with nine cruciform sensitive sensors in the center. However, the algorithm of the autofocus system has been finalized. In particular, the calculations take into account the type of source of light. Evaluation of the brightness of the object is now based on an analysis of 77 zones of the future image.

Using high-speed consecutive shooting otsnyat allows more than 40 frames (in the format of JPEG) with a maximum speed of approximately 5.2 images per second. Enhanced module shutter Pentax K-7 now works extracts up to 1 / 8000 seconds. K-7 is equipped with a mechanism for Pentax Dust Removal (DR) II. It includes a special protective coating to the SP-matrix and an effective system stryahivaniya dust using ultrasonic vibrations.

In addition, for the first time in the history of mirror line in the Pentax K-7 added a feature to capture video. When shooting video possible to control the diaphragm. Videography in the K-7 is supported at a speed of 30 frames per second, the resolution corresponds to HDTV 1280x720 (recording format MOTION JPEG). K7 is also equipped with HVMI output and connector for connecting an external microphone. LCD display with a diagonal of 3 inches has a resolution of 920,000 pixels, viewing angle - 170 degrees.

Capacity Lithium-ion battery, C-7 last approximately 980 shots. As an additional source of power is the battery pack D-BG4. As the camera unit is protected against water and dust, it is resistant to temperature changes, as well as significantly increases the number of recordable pictures and duplicated all the major organs of government kameroy.Krome, in the battery pack can be installed AA batteries.

Other features Pentax K-7:

• The function of HDR (high dynamic range), creates a composite image with extra-wide range of transitional shades from three shots with different exposures.
• The function of the expansion of dynamic range to compensate for the area vysvetleniya (pereeksponirovanie) and obscuration (nedoeksponirovanie).
• The function of the digital horizon for easy verification of the horizon image
• Automatic compensation of distortions (distortion) and the lateral chromatic aberration (available only with a series of lenses DA-and DFA)
• Control white balance is equipped with the new CTE-treatment, which stresses the components of the color of sunset scenes, and a new regime of scattered light from incandescent lamps fluoristsentnyh
• Feature film-style multiple, with the possibility of screening results
• The possibility of adding the copyright information (copyright), the recorded images
• RAW button for a direct switch the format of image file
• 16 digital filters to add different visual effects
