Pentax K-3 Mark III: Monochrome Digital SLR for Professional Field Use with 100% Viewfinder and Dust/Water Resistance

The K3III Monochrome, a testament to Pentax's heritage as Japan's pioneer in single-lens reflex cameras, was conceived with unwavering commitment, cutting-edge technology, and a passion for innovation. Boasting a 100% field of view, approximately 1.05x the optical viewfinder clarity of a full-frame model, this compact and lightweight APS-C camera offers a wide-angle perspective that enhances your shooting experience by around 10% through enhanced pentaprism reflectance compared to its predecessor.

The design prioritizes immersion, with a viewfinder and image monitor height optimized to ensure natural eye alignment without obstructing your view. An eye sensor automatically turns off the monitor when you peer through the viewfinder, enhancing visibility during shots and fostering a seamless workflow. The K3III boasts a top ISO sensitivity of 1.6 million, enabling exceptional clarity across the entire range, while multi-dimensional image space filtering combats noise while preserving fine details.

Built with a robust 5-axis, 5.5-shutter-step in-body Shake Reduction (SR) mechanism SRII, the camera is versatile for handheld photography, pushing the boundaries of stability. Its dust-proof and weather-resistant construction, featuring 95 sealing parts, ensures reliable performance in challenging outdoor environments. The magnesium alloy body not only adds strength but also keeps the camera lightweight, offering exceptional durability.

Harnessing its newly developed mirror/shutter drive system and PRIME V's high-speed image processing, the K3III can shoot at a blistering pace of approximately 12 images per second in AF.S mode and 11 images per second in AF.C, demonstrating its high-speed continuous shooting capabilities. Enhanced with the SAFOX13 autofocus system, which now boasts 101 focus sensors, it guarantees precise subject tracking and capturing.

Dual UHS-II compatible memory card slots, including Slot 1 for high-speed data transfer, facilitate efficient image storage and swapping. The touch screen-equipped LDC monitor further accelerates operational efficiency, making the K3III Monochrome a powerhouse for photographers seeking precision, speed, and adaptability.
