K10D Digital SLR FACT SHEET
High-quality image reproduction
The K10D features a large, high-performance 23.5mm x 15.7mm CCD with 10.2 effective megapixels as its
image sensor, assuring the reproduction of true-to-life, rich-gradation images.
PENTAX-original Shake Reduction mechanism for blur-free images
The K10D is equipped with the exclusive, PENTAX-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system, which
effectively reduces camera shake for sharp, blur-free images even under demanding shooting conditions,
such as when using a telephoto lens, shooting in the dark or at night without supplementary flash
illumination, or using extended exposures for sunset scenes. This innovative mechanism shifts the position
of the CCD image sensor vertically and horizontally at high speed using magnetic force, while adjusting the
shifting speed in proportion to the amount of camera shake detected by built-in sensors. It offers an
outstanding compensation effect equivalent to 2.5 to 4 shutter-speed steps. As a result, it does not require
special anti-shake lenses, and can be used with almost all existing PENTAX interchangeable lenses.* *
Lenses compatible with this mechanism are the PENTAX K-, KA-, KAF- and KAF2-mount lenses; screw-
mount lenses (with an adapter); and 645- are 67-system lenses (with an adapter). Some functions may not
be applicable with certain lenses.
Newly developed A/D converter for truthful image data conversion
The K10D incorporates a high-performance A/D converter, which faithfully converts the analog data
collected by the CCD image sensor into digital data. With the highest resolving power (22 bits, or 4.2 million
gradations) among all existing digital cameras, it offers a digital-conversion capacity 1,024 times greater
than conventional 12-bit, 4,096-gradation A/D converters.
