Large and bright prism viewfinder with 100% field of view and approx. 1.05x magnification

The PENTAX K-3 Mark III features an optical viewfinder with an almost 100% field of view and 1.05x magnification. Here, the high-refractive-index glass prism enables a wide eye relief while providing a wide field of view equivalent to that of a 35mm full-frame SLR.

By using a distortion-correcting optical element and optimizing the lens coatings, the viewfinder delivers a clear and lifelike image without distortion.At the same time, the brightness has been improved by almost 10 percent compared to the viewfinder of the PENTAX K-3 II. The Natural Bright Matte III matte screen offers easy manual focusing and supports the positive features of the viewfinder for a subject image with faithful reproduction of the bokeh effect.

In addition, the transparent display of a variety of operating data in the viewfinder window allows direct monitoring of important parameters during shooting. This underscores the importance of this essential camera component for image composition. Thus, with the large prism viewfinder of the PENTAX K-3 Mark III, the photographer has everything in view without having to take the camera away from the eye at important moments.

New 25.73 megapixel BSI sensor with peak light sensitivity of ISO 1,600,000

The PENTAX K-3 Mark III features a BSI sensor for the first time. This back-illuminated sensor with an effective resolution of approx. 25.73 megapixels, together with the new PRIME V imaging engine and the newly designed accelerator unit, ensures exceptionally high image quality. By additionally dispensing with an optical AA filter (anti-aliasing), the camera produces super high-resolution and sharp images.

Due to the design, not only is the dynamic range extended, but noise is also minimized, naturally in the low and also in the super-high range. By significantly improving noise reduction, the PENTAX K-3 Mark III offers a super-high peak light sensitivity of ISO 1,600,000.

Body-integrated Shake Reduction II System (IBIS).

When PENTAX first incorporated an electromagnetic Shake Reduction system to prevent camera shake in SLR cameras 15 years ago in the K100, this technology was not initially taken very seriously and was widely underestimated.Today, however, in-body image stabilizing systems (IBIS) are state of the art and should not be missing in any modern high-performance camera. In the PENTAX K-3 Mark III the Shake Reduction System fulfills a number of different functions:

• Camera shake compensation with compensation of 5.5 f-stops.The built-in Shake Reduction System prevents camera shake that can occur, for example, when using lenses with a long focal length and/or slow shutter speeds in low-light conditions and can be the cause of blurred images. Image stabilization takes place in five axes. In addition to sensor rotation, horizontal shift and vertical shift, the PENTAX K-3 Mark III also offers correction for horizontal and vertical tilt, which can occur during macro shooting, for example. Horizontal panning movements are automatically detected and also corrected accordingly. Overall, this system ensures exposure reliability of up to 5.5 LV stops, expanding the limits of freehand photography. It works independently of the lenses used. Thus, adapted M42 lenses can be used in the same way as the current lens series. The lens information required for compensation, once stored, can be recalled as needed.
• Pixel Shift function for expanding the resolutionWith the previous model, the PENTAX K-3 Mark II, sensor shifting was used for the first time to improve image resolution. This technique can now be used without a tripod with the PENTAX K-3 Mark III. With conventional systems, missing RGB color information from the sensor must be interpolated because the different colors are not captured by all pixels of the sensor. With the Pixel Shift function, the PENTAX K-3 Mark III offers the possibility to take four shots in series. In this case, the sensor is shifted up, down, left and right by one pixel at a time and the camera calculates a single image from this, which can be saved as a JPEG or RAW file. With this technique, the 25.73 megapixels are completely utilized for the image file, which results in significantly higher sharpness and color reproduction as well as lower image noise.
• Low-pass filter simulationBy omitting an AA filter (Anti Aliasing), a higher image sharpness is achieved. In order to avoid a possible moiré effect, the sensor unit is set into micro-vibrations and thus ensures minimal blurring.This works just as effectively as a built-in low-pass filter. Two stages provide adjustment to the appropriate shooting situation.
• Sensor shift and auto horizon correctionThe IBIS is also used for automatic horizon alignment. An oblique camera position up to an angle of view of 2° can be automatically corrected by the sensor. However, the sensor can also be shifted manually. This can be done in horizontal or vertical direction with a shift of up to 1.5 mm in total and even in rotation up to 2°.
• DR II (Dust Removal)Ultrasonic vibrations are used to remove dust particles from the sensor. This function can be set as an on/off function, but can also be performed manually.

SAFOX 13 autofocus system with 101 FOCUS sensors

The SAFOX 13 phase comparison autofocus system has been newly developed for the PENTAX K-3 Mark III. It has a total of 101 AF sensors, 25 of which are positioned centrally as cross sensors. In order to FOCUS reliably even in night shots, three special sensors are centrally positioned, which already work at an EV of.4. For the first time, the camera is equipped with a small joystick that can be used to intuitively select the individual FOCUS points. The new AF system is supported by a new RGB IR image sensor with approx. 307,000 pixels and a newly developed image tracking algorithm. As a result, even subjects in motion are reliably detected and focused more precisely.

PENTAX Real-time Scene Analysis System

The PENTAX Real-time Scene Analysis System supports camera control with the latest artificial intelligence technology. Based on the RGB-lR image sensor with approximately 307,000 pixels, the processor uses advanced image recognition technology,to optimize exposure and autofocus. It analyzes shooting scenes and, based on color or brightness distribution, subject as well as motion detection, adjusts certain exposure parameters such as shutter, autofocus, white balance accordingly and takes them into account for image calculation.

By introducing Deep Learning artificial intelligence technology, the PENTAX K-3 Mark III ensures subject recognition and scene evaluation that is better and more reliable than ever before.

PENTAX K bayonet. lens mount proven for generations

PENTAX is the camera system with the greatest lens compatibility. This means that lenses from the early days of the K bayonet can be used effortlessly on the new top-of-the-line APS-C model, and even M42 lenses with an adapter. It is precisely the much sought-after and used treasures of the digital prehistoric era that bring so much pleasure to many photographers today. The focal length information, which is necessary for the IBIS, can now even be saved and is also written to the EXIF data.

High-resolution LCD monitor with intuitive touchscreen controls

The 3.2-inch LCD monitor, with a resolution of approximately 1,620,000 pixels, features a touch screen with intuitive menu control and image zoom function during image playback for the first time in the PENTAX system. The PENTAX K-3 Mark III also uses the well-proven monitor design with Air Gap-less technology for improved visibility. For this purpose, a special resin is inserted between the monitor layers, which effectively reduces reflections and the scattering of light. Under the viewfinder eyepiece, which extends beyond the display, is an eye sensor that optionally turns off the monitor when the photographer looks into the viewfinder. This prevents the monitor’s illumination from interfering with visibility during shooting. Another benefit especially for night shooting is the night vision LCD display function to quickly adjust the brightness of the monitor depending on the shooting location.

High frame rate. when every second counts

The mirror and shutter mechanism has been redesigned for the PENTAX K-3 Mark III. Together with the new processor technology and fast image processing parameters, the PENTAX K-3 Mark III makes it possible to shoot series of images at an unprecedented frame rate. 32 RAW files can thus be captured at 12 frames per second. At 2.5 frames per second and in JPEG format, the shooting series increases to 90 images before the camera has to save. Despite the highest load, the shutter is designed for at least 300,000 shots.

Video function with 4K resolution

The PENTAX K-3 Mark III was developed in the tradition of SLR technology, but in the process the desire of many PENTAX photographers for a 4K video function could not be ignored. So the camera now records video clips in 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels; 30p/24p frame rate) or Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels; 60p/30p/24p frame rate) in H-264 recording format. For the audio, there is a port for a stereo microphone as well as headphones. It is possible to adjust and monitor the audio recording level. In order to be able to process the data volumes at high frame rates or video recordings accordingly, one of the two SD card slots is prepared for the UHS-II standard.

Original PENTAX reliability. rugged, weatherproof and compact

One of the main advantages of the APS-C system is its small size. To ensure that the camera can be used as a mobile camera in any situation, special attention was paid to compact size and low weight combined with high robustness.The housing, for example, is made of a lightweight yet high-strength magnesium-aluminum alloy. The weather-resistant housing construction is cold-resistant down to.10°C and features 95 seals that protect against dust and moisture.

In-camera image and video editing and RAW development

The PENTAX K-3 Mark III has numerous options for editing videos and photos directly in the camera. For example, various filters and also the original PENTAX Custom Image function, which simulates different types of film, are already available when shooting. Further filters and RAW development expand the options. For video recording, there are simple film editing options. The multiple options mean that no complex image editing program is needed to create your own distinctive image style.

Camera control and image transfer via Image Sync app

The PENTAX K-3 Mark III can be connected to devices such as smartphones or tablets via Bluetooth® or WLAN.By installing the free Image Sync app on a mobile device, the user can display Live View images on the respective screen as well as change camera settings and take pictures. Captured images can be transferred to a mobile device and shared directly from there to social networks.

Pentax D-BG8 Battery Grip

A battery grip has been developed for exclusive use with the PENTAX K-3 Mark III, and like the camera, it features a dustproof, weather-resistant design. To ensure convenient operation even for portrait format shooting, many important controls are located on the battery grip just like on the camera itself. The battery grip is also powered by the D-LI90 battery and doubles the number of shots to about 1,800. Charging is also done via the camera’s USB-C port.

Un appareil photo reflex noir avec un design de boîtier exclusif

PENTAX est aujourd’hui l’un des rares fabricants à perpétuer la tradition des appareils photo reflex à objectif unique. Depuis 1919, année de la fondation d’Asahi Optical, et le premier appareil photo reflex à objectif unique produit localement en 1952, nous avons développé de nombreuses innovations dans l’histoire des appareils photo et créé une base où de nombreuses personnes dans le monde sont familiarisées avec la photographie et aiment prendre des photos. Nous continuerons à façonner le nouvel avenir des appareils photo reflex pour les personnes qui sont passionnées et qui apprécient le plaisir et la profondeur de la photographie comme une activité importante qui enrichit leur vie et qui apprécient le processus de prise de vue d’une manière particulière. Dans le monde d’aujourd’hui, où il n’est plus normal d’avoir un appareil photo dans chaque foyer, la valeur que les amateurs de photographie avisés recherchent dans un appareil photo est de plus en plus diversifiée. Par exemple, de nombreux photographes utilisent différents appareils en fonction de leur sujet et de leurs exigences, ou selon l’humeur du jour, et les raisons de leur choix sont nombreuses.

Jusqu’à présent, nous avons fabriqué des produits qui satisfont les besoins du plus grand nombre de personnes possible. Mais en raison des limites de la conception des produits et de la production de masse, nous n’avons pas été en mesure de répondre à de nombreux besoins.Notre volonté est de créer des opportunités pour répondre à des demandes intéressantes et les transformer en produits.Avec le PENTAX K-3 III JET BLACK, nous nous sommes engagés dans cette voie.Dans le cadre d’une campagne de financement par la foule, nous avons proposé un appareil photo qui était difficile à réaliser en tant que modèle de masse.Un boîtier noir pour les appareils photo reflex est considéré comme normal. Cependant, jusqu’à présent, il n’était pas complètement noir. Avec le modèle spécial du PENTAX K-3 III JET BLACK, nous avons fait un pas de plus. En plus du boîtier noir, le lettrage des boutons et le nom de la marque ont également été conservés dans une couleur sombre. Certains photographes cachent les logos de leurs appareils avec du ruban adhésif noir parce qu’ils ne veulent pas que la marque ou le nom du modèle de l’appareil ressorte.Ou encore, pour les photographes qui ont personnalisé la fonction du bouton en fonction de leur propre utilisation et de leurs préférences, l’icône de fonction du réglage par défaut ne leur saute pas aux yeux maintenant que la fonction ne correspond plus au rôle initial.

Bien sûr, il est indéniable que de nombreuses personnes recherchent une bonne visibilité et une bonne clarté, mais cela valait la peine d’essayer de rendre le logo de la marque et le panneau de commande noirs et moins voyants.

Le résultat est le design unique du PENTAX K-3 III JET BLACK. Un modèle véritablement noir, différent de tout autre appareil photo reflex.

■ Le logo noir de la marque sur le boîtier noir du PENTAX K-3 Mark III crée un effet qui influence fortement l’impression du design du boîtier de l’appareil. Il n’est pas simplement non peint, mais il est peint en noir.

■ Le logo du nom du modèle est imprimé en noir anthracite. En utilisant cette couleur exquise, il se détache du boîtier lorsqu’il est éclairé de manière appropriée.

■ De nombreux éléments de commande, tels que les touches en croix ou les descriptions de fonctions, sont également imprimés en noir anthracite discret. Qui sont néanmoins reconnaissables grâce au contraste avec le fond.

Certaines inscriptions, par exemple sur le sélecteur de mode, ont été colorées en noir et se détachent ainsi de la couleur de l’élément de commande.

■ Le badge SR (Shake Reduction), qui indique la fonction de stabilisation d’image intégrée, et les anneaux de fixation de la courroie sont également noirs.

Dans la conception globale, nous n’avons pas simplement réduit le nombre de pièces peintes et imprimées, mais nous les avons remplacées par des peintures appropriées. En accordant une grande attention aux moindres détails, nous avons pu créer un véritable boîtier noir qui ne fait qu’un avec l’obscurité. Le PENTAX K-3 III JET BLACK répond aux attentes de ses utilisateurs.

L’équipement et les données techniques du PENTAX K-3 III JET BLACK correspondent au modèle standard du PENTAX K-3 Mark III.

Pentax K-3 III Monochrome Sensor!

As I already reported, Rioch is expected to announce the Pentax K-3 III Monochrome camera tomorrow. Shipping will start on April 28th. Here are the first leaked pictures: Via Digicame-info s: Ricoh Imaging announces a new Pentax KF DSLR camera for under 1,000 Happy New Year and the most popular blog posts of 2022 […]

Looks like it’s real, when combined with the things Ricoh has actually said prior to this point.

The shot of the JPEG profile options is really interesting, as it’s the first peek into what a Ricoh/Pentax approach to tuning monochrome files will be. The options look exactly the same as what’s in the K-3 III now, which is copied over pretty exactly from the Ricoh GR III series. Minus a color filter, of course, since you can’t do that digitally with a monochrome sensor.

What do you folks think? Hopefully we’ll get real info tomorrow, and some more press over the next little while with indication of how the actual files look and feel.

Well to date the only monochrome camera I’ve really fancied has been the M9 v1, due to it’s combination of its CCD sensor and tonal/ film like output, but I’ve always questioned the financial outlay for what is essentially a one trick pony given I already have a (colour sensor) rangefinder. So it’ll be interesting to see how this Pentax renders. But apparently it’s not about that is it, it’s about seeing in BW. Never done that so to be honest, it would at first seem a bit strange to me. The BW files out of modern cameras are very good too.

I shoot and develop enough BW film that seeing in monochrome is something I try to do; I’ve found that I can get thrown out of thinking that way by shooting color, and it can take a while to get back into that mode. Looking for good shapes, contrast, texture, etc. Having a mono only digital camera is tempting sometimes for really getting in the zone, although my film workflow is fast enough that it’s not the end of the world to just shoot a roll or two and process it.

Part of what I’m curious about are the JPEG profiles. If hard BW and hi-contrast make it into a monochrome only model, I’d be really interested to see what they look like.

Does everyone remember my story about how I called Kodak as soon as the M9 came out and asked for a Monochrome version of it?

M9, 35mm f1.7 Ultron, at F4- simulated Red filter.

M Monochrom (v1), 35mm F1.7 Ultron at F4, with Red filter. 100% crops.

If you cannot see the difference- then leave the new Pentax to others.

But if you can see the artifacts generated by the color mosaic filter, and shoot Pentax- YOU ARE SO LUCKY!

But if you can see the artifacts generated by the color mosaic filter, and shoot Pentax- YOU ARE SO LUCKY!

Where I see them is mainly the hard edges where there’s a lot of contrast. Should I be looking elsewhere too?

The biggest appeal of the K3 III to me has been the ability to shoot it with Limited lenses, most of which are very compact. Honestly this camera plus the 15/21/40/70 limited lineup has all the gestalt of a Leica rangefinder in my opinion.

I know why- and that’s why I called Kodak. They remembered me from the first time I called in 1992, wanting a full-spectrum version of the DCS200m.

But, I had sensor expert Jack Nicholson explain it on RFF years ago when I was told doing a Monochrome Leica would never happen. From 2010.

I’m bringing in Digital Sensor Fabrication Expert Jack Nicholson to explain the issues with fabricating a Monochrome Sensor. Take it, Jack.

Well, I used to like my Digital cameras to be Monochrome and without that damned IR cut filter. I want it all back, and will filter when I want. Don’t want some weenee cutting in on my light. It’s just like a Tomato and Lettuce sandwich, no bacon. But today, nobody leaves off the Bacon. At first I got mad, but then took a peek-sy into the Kitchen. A whole line of cooks making that BLT- yumm, yumm. First guy takes a plate, next cook puts the first piece of bread, next cook puts on Bacon, next guy lettuce, next cook puts on the annealing Mayo, next cook pops a few slices of tomato so the annealing Mayo will not seep into the bread, next guy puts on the top piece of bread and pushes down. Finally the taste tester takes a bite, and if it ain’t a BLT out it goes. I SAW what happened to the Lettuce and tomato sandwich- stopped after the slice of bread was put on the plate and had no way to get to the lettuce cook. Oh well, BLT for ME! Whenever I want monochrome images, I just learn to ignore the taste of bacon.
