Preview Function
Optical Preview: Depth of field confirmation (electronically
controlled and usable in all exposure modes)
Digital Preview: Composition, exposure, focus and white
balance confirmation
Continuous Shooting
Approx. 3 fps, JPEG: until SD Memory Card is full RAW: up to 9 frames
Self-timer
Electronically controlled with delay time of 12 sec./2 sec. (with mirror
up function). Start by pressing shutter release button. Operation
confirmation: Possible to set beep. Can be cancelled after operation
Remote Control
Pentax Remote Control F (optional) Release shutter immediately
or three seconds after pressing the remote control shutter button.
Mirror Quick-return mirror, mirror up function (2 sec. self-timer)
Exposure Bracket
Three or five frames (underexposed, proper exposure and
overexposed) are shot continuously with exposure bracketing.
(Selectable between 1/2 EV and 1/3 EV for EV steps)
Extended Bracket
Three frames are saved continuously with white balance,
saturation, sharpness and contrast bracketing.
