3.2-inch Air Gapless LCD monitor
for outstanding visibility in the field and superior scratch resistance
The K-3’s Air Gapless LCD monitor has a special resin layer applied between the protective panel and the LCD screen to effectively cut down the reflection and dispersion of light and assure excellent visibility even under bright sunshine. Its 3.2-inch screen displays a large subject image at 3:2 aspect ratio, while the protective panel is made of tempered glass to keep it free of scratches and abrasions.
Newly installed control parts
for delay-free, direct-access control
In order to provide swift, intuitive control of advanced functions and user-friendly features, the K-3 features more direct-access control buttons and levers than ever before. You can even operate them without removing the eye from the viewfinder.
