PENTAX K-3 Mark III features a high-performance viewfinder with a high-refraction glass pentaprism to provide approximately 1.05-times magnification (with an FA 50mm F1.4 lens set at infinity). Despite the compact, lightweight APS-C-format SLR body, it delivers a truthful, wide-view image equal to that of a full-frame SLR, and helps you to become more fully immersed in the photo-shooting process. This viewfinder also provides an almost 10-percent increase in brightness, thanks to the improved reflectance of the pentaprism, while also assuring a nearly 100-percent field of view. By incorporating a distortion-compensating optical element and optimizing the lens coatings, it provides natural, true-to-life image rendition with high-magnification observations.
APS-C flagship model
Pentax is the first SLR camera in Japan to be made. The K-3 Mark III was born with all of its philosophy, technology and passion.
Field of view 100%, approx. 1.05x optical viewfinder
Although it is a compact and lightweight APS-C SLR camera, it has a wide viewing angle equivalent to that of a full-size camera. Brightness is increased by about 10% by improving the reflectance of the pentaprism (compared to K-3 II).
Finder to deepen the immersive feeling
The viewfinder and the height of the image monitor are designed so that the nose does not hit easily so that you can look into it more naturally. Also equipped with an eye sensor. The image monitor turns off at the same time as the viewfinder is removed. The monitor light does not enter during shooting, so shooting is comfortable.
Maximum ISO sensitivity 1.6 million
Achieves excellent descriptive power in the entire sensitivity range. Multi-dimensional image space filtering reduces noise while leaving fine contours. It maximizes the resolution performance and reproduces the texture and details of the subject.
5-axis 5.5-stage in-body image stabilization mechanism SRII
You can correct camera shake with all lenses. SR II supports 5-axis correction of angle shake, shift shake, and rotation shake. The K-3 Mark III has a high correction effect of 5.5 steps. It also supports panning, and the optimum correction is possible according to the subject.
Dust-proof / drip-proof structure / Magnesium body
Thorough dust-proof and drip-proof structure with 95 sealing parts on the body prevents water droplets and dust from entering. Great for outdoor activities. High-strength and lightweight magnesium alloy is used for the entire cover that covers the camera. Achieves a body that is strong against impact and has excellent durability.
Maximum 12 frames / second high-speed drive
With the newly developed mirror / shutter drive system and high-speed image processing of PRIME V, high-speed continuous shooting of up to about 12 frames / second with AF.S and up to about 11 frames / second with AF.C is achieved.
101-point AF system SAFOX13
The number of AF points has been increased to 101 points. The AF coverage area has also been expanded to achieve highly accurate subject capture.
Dual slot UHS-II compatible
Equipped with two SD memory card slots. Slot 1 is compatible with the UHS-II standard, which enables high-speed writing. Images can be copied between cards.
Touch panel type image monitor
Equipped with a large LCD monitor that supports touch operations. More speedy operation is possible.
