PENTAX Shake Reduction (SR) mechanism for sharp, blur free images
The
PENTAX K-30 incorporates the PENTAX-developed SR mechanism, which
effectively reduces blur due to camera shake by approximately four
shutter steps. Usable with all PENTAX compatible lenses*, including
those produced for film format SLR cameras, this mechanism produces
sharp, blur free images even under demanding conditions that are prone
to camera shake, such as when using a telephoto lens, shooting in the
dark without flash illumination, or capturing landscapes in twilight.
The K-30's SR system also offers several other useful features to assist
the photographer during shooting, including an Automatic Horizon
Correction function to assure high precision image framing and
effortless adjustment of horizontal alignment, a Composition Adjustment
function to allow minute adjustments of image alignment
horizontally/vertically/axially, and an ASTROTRACER mode to eliminate
light trails during astronomical photography in combination with the
optional O-GPS1 GPS Unit (available separately).
* Lenses compatible with this mechanism: PENTAX K-, KA-, KAF-, KAF2-
and KAF3-mount lenses; screw-mount lenses (with an adapter); and 645-
and 67-system lenses (with an adapter). Some functions may not be
available with certain lenses.
A selection of image processing tools for creative, personalized expression
The K-30 features a Custom Image function, which allows the user to
easily and quickly select the desired finishing touch for a particular
image. Choose from 11 custom settings including Bleach Bypass that
creates a dramatic visual effect similar to that used in motion
pictures, and Cross Process to produce fanciful, eye-catching images
boasting dramatic colors. The K-30 also offers a choice of 19 creative
digital filters including Miniature, which transforms an actual scene
into what appears to be an image of miniature models. These filters add
distinctive visual effects to captured images producing creative,
artistic images without the need for a computer. The user can further
expand the creative possibilities by applying multiple filters and
processing modes to a single image.
Choice of two power sources
In addition to the included lithium ion battery capable of capturing
approximately 480 images with a single charge**, the K-30 can also be
powered by four AA-size batteries using the optional D-BH109 AA Battery
Holder. Since AA batteries can be easily obtained almost anywhere around
the world, there's no worry about battery shortages, even when shooting
for an extended period of time or in remote locations.
