After two years of launching the Pentax - the K1 model - now takes the scepter of the Pentax K1 mark II. The professional full-frame SLR camera has an excellent foundation in its predecessor and boasts top-quality picture quality. Improved sensitivity, speed, better maneuverability and overall appearance and ergonomics. K1 Mark II can boldly stand up to your high photographic ambition. Moreover, as is the case with Pentax mirrors, the new model is also made in a more durable body. It does not matter frost, humidity or dust. This fact, like the presence of the GPS module, clearly distinguishes it from other manufacturers' mirrors.
Pentax offers more than just the other brands in our SLRs, making the process much more robust. Quality material is a matter of course, but a number of seals are added. They also enable the K1 Mark II to work smoothly where the use of other mirrors is minimally risky. You can take pictures without dusting it in a dusty environment. He does not mind rain, humidity or splashing water. Last but not least, it works reliably up to temperatures up to -10 degrees. Together, it has 87 sealed parts and its strength is enhanced by the use of the D-BG6 battery grip and AW (all weather) or WR (water resistance) lenses. It all makes it an excellent device in the field, on the road and under severe conditions. For night-time photography, for example, it's equipped with the option to switch to a red backlight that saves your eyesight and allows you to fully focus on the surroundings around you.
At the heart of the camera is a full frame CMOS sensor without a 36 MPx AA (anti-aliasing) filter that promises greater resolution and exceptional image quality. The tried and tested Prime IV processor is fast and reliable. It delivers the camera's continuous shooting speed of up to 4.4 sn / sec of an uninterrupted 70 JPEG or 17 RAW series . Thanks to the new acceleration unit, the range of ISO settings has been increased to 819,200, allowing you to take action on other machines at the least risky. The newly modified 5-axis SR II stabilization compensates for vibrations both in the vertical and in the horizontal direction. Compensation range is up to 5 shutter strokes, which extends hand-held exposure and the quality of this system, for example, in panoramic shooting.
An interesting and unconventional bonus that Pentax has once again distinguished is the auxiliary working LEDs. There are a total of four and are located at the bayonet, behind the screen, in the memory card slot, and in the remote self-timer connector. It is best to use this feature, of course, at night, when you will make it easy for you to manipulate the camera. The K1 II features a large 3.2 " TFT LCD display with adjustable brightness and especially a maximum flexible hinged construction . The live view is so easy to adjust to the ideal angle from virtually any position. If the brightness of the display shone with direct daylight, a prismatic viewfinder is available. It boasts a 100% view. You will also appreciate the double slot for SD memory cards. You can choose to store in series when the camera starts automatically when the first card is loaded. The other option is to duplicate data for backup, and the third option is separate storage according to RAW and JPEG formats, each for one card. Copying between cards is also possible.
The Pentax K1 Mark II features a sophisticated wheel for selecting advanced features. Once you have set it up quickly, you can instantly switch to the second one - the correction. This further specifies the selected function. Always rely on a very nice set-up. In addition to the WiFi and GPS module, the camera is equipped with an electronic compass. The combination of GPS, Compass and SR II provides better assumptions for sensing the night sky and celestial bodies. K1 II, based on location data and other factors, can calculate the movement of bodies in the sky with high precision, improving the photos taken on a long shutter. This mode is called Astrotracer and allows you to shoot even with very hard-to-see stars.
