Overview

Photography at its best



Offering an even more complete experience than its predecessor, the Pentax K-1 Mark II is an ideal travel companion. Its full-frame CMOS sensor delivers 36.4 megapixels, while new features make it easy to get creative. Discover a maximum sensitivity of ISO 819,200, precise handheld operation with Pixel Shift Resolution II and built-in 5-axis stabilisation. This rugged model will stand up to the toughest conditions thanks to its tropicalised body, while its Wi-Fi and GPS functions will allow you to indulge your passion for photography.


Full-frame 24x36 CMOS sensor

The K-1 Mark II incorporates afull-frame 36mm CMOS sensor that delivers the highest image quality in the K-mount SLR lineup. With its large surface area and large photosites, this pixel-rich sensor delivers true-to-life images with rich nuances and minimal noise. Its shallow depth of field allows you to control distance and bokeh effects as you wish.

With 36.4 effective megapixels, this model produces breathtaking images. Its exceptional definition captures every leaf on a distant tree or every drop of mist in great detail. Cropping is possible when shooting or during post-processing. The AA filter simulator effectively reduces moiré and colour artefacts by using the SR mechanism to apply microscopic vibrations to the sensor during shooting.


Sensitivity up to ISO 819,200

To reproduce vivid colours and rich, lifelike gradations at all sensitivities, the PENTAX K-1 Mark II features a unique Accelerator Unit, which efficiently processes the signal from the image sensor before passing it to the image processor.

This flow improves both image resolution and colour reproduction at high sensitivities, while greatly reducing noise compared to the PENTAX K-1. It also allows the maximum sensitivity to be extended to ISO 819, 200 for superb photography at extreme sensitivities.


The best in photography

The Pixel Shift Resolution II system is a "super-resolution" technology, which greatly improves the separating power and colour reproduction. Using the SR stabilisation system, it takes four images of the same scene by slightly shifting the sensor at each shot and then synthesises a single composite image with extreme resolution. Not only is the separating power improved, but colour artefacts are eliminated, digital noise is reduced and image quality is greatly enhanced.

The SR II stabilisation mechanism has 5 correction axes and is precisely controlled from the start of your camera. This system covers a compensation range of up to 5 shutter speeds for ideal pictures even when shooting handheld.


Everyday comfort

In order to precisely align the photographer's gaze with the camera's optical axis while allowing for a flexible angle, Pentax has designed an ideal LCD monitor by creating an innovative articulated mechanism that supports the monitor with four brackets. You can even tilt the screen up to almost 90° for ground-level or waist-level shooting.

In Live View mode, the K-1 Mark II offers a wide range of shooting tools. With its tiltable LCD screen, you can clearly view the image from different angles to maximise your shooting comfort. And with Wi-Fi, you can record images remotely or view them on your smartphone screen.


Environmental control

The combination of the K-1 Mark II's 87 waterproof seals and the optional D-BG6 power grip prevent water and dust from entering the interior. When an AW or WR series lens is mounted on the body, the SLR and its lens form a remarkable digital image creation system that can withstand the harshest environmental factors.

The body of the K-1 Mark II is made of a lightweight, highly rigid magnesium alloy that offers excellent resistance to impact and electromagnetic interference. Combined with a metal chassis that protects the critical components of the body, this shell provides exceptional strength and reliability.
