Les imatges poden ser viewed on the 2.5-inch color LCD monitor, which offers a wide 140-degree viewing angle and 210,000 pixels resolution. A zoom display function allows magnification up to 12 times for focus confirmation. The bright penta-mirror viewfinder provides a clear subject image with 0.85x magnification and a 96% field of view.
6. Shake Reduction (SR)
The Pentax-original Shake Reduction system minimizes camera shake by oscillating the CCD image sensor. This system is compatible with all existing Pentax interchangeable SLR lenses and provides approximately 2 to 3.5 shutter steps of compensation.
7. Digital Filters
The camera includes five digital filters for easy image editing: Black-and-White, Sepia, Slim, Soft, and Brightness.
Manteniment
1. Dust Removal (DR) System
The Pentax original Dust Removal system prevents dust from adhering to the low-pass filter in front of the CCD image sensor. A Super Protect (SP) coating repels dust, and any remaining dust is dislodged by high-speed CCD shifts and collected on an adhesive sheet.
2. Neteja general
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the camera body. For the lens and LCD screen, use specialized cleaning solutions and cloths designed for optical surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Resolució de problemes
- La càmera no s'encén: Check battery installation and charge level. Ensure the power switch is fully engaged.
- Blurred images: Ensure Shake Reduction is active. Check shutter speed and adjust ISO or aperture if shooting in low light.
- Camera slow to respond: If the camera is in standby, it may take a moment to wake up. This can be aggravated by certain lens types in anti-shake mode.
- Dust spots on images: Utilize the built-in Dust Removal system. If spots persist, professional cleaning may be required.
- Menu navigation difficult: Refer to the detailed camera manual for specific menu layouts and functions.
