Digital SLR Cameras: K-m

K-m

Easy maintenance and simple handling make the PENTAX K-m a perfect family camera

DR system

The PENTAX K-m takes care of the problem of dust!

One of the most common and frequent problems that spoils image quality is annoying dust spots. To solve this problem, the PENTAX K-m comes equipped with the PENTAX-original DR (Dust Removal) system. First, it prevents the adhesion of dust to the CCD image sensor with a SP (Super Protect) coating applied to the surface of the low-pass filter protecting the image sensor. Any dust that has adhered to the image sensor is then shaken off by the cleaning vibration of the image sensor.

Dust alert

At-a-glance confirmation of dust spots makes maintenance easier!

The innovative dust-alert system lets you check on the adhesion of dust and foreign particles with a quick glance of the LCD monitor. When dust is detected on the LCD monitor, simply activate the camera's DR system to remove it. Any persistent dust can then be removed using the optional O-ICK1 Image Sensor Cleaning Kit.

Help button

Leave the manual at home and follow the camera's guidance!

When you are puzzled about camera operation, simply press the help button. Then press the control button of your interest, and its functions and operational steps are displayed instantly on the LCD monitor.

You can also choose to assign one of four functions (digital preview, custom image, digital filter and RAW-format shooting) to this help button.

AA-size battery compatibility

No more worries about battery shortages on the road!

Since the PENTAX K-m is powered by world-standard AA-size batteries (lithium, alkaline or rechargeable Ni-MH), you can easily find replacements almost anywhere on the globe. This is a particularly convenient feature when traveling.

Recordable images

Power-saving design assures extended shooting sessions — up to 1,650 images* with a set of four AA-size lithium batteries!

Even when you use the built-in auto flash for every other image, you can still capture approximately 1,000 images* with a single set of batteries. So keep shooting interesting subjects and breathtaking scenes as you wish, without worrying about battery life.

*

The numbers of recordable images were measured under testing conditions specified by CIPA standards, using fresh lithium batteries and at a temperature of 23°C. These numbers may vary depending on shooting conditions.
