Pentax K-S1 Digital SLR in Blue + 18-55mm Lens

The Pentax K-S1 delivers compactness, style and outstanding performance. It incorporates new elements that optimize digital innovations, such as a compact, modern design and an inventive interface system. The addition of LED lights adds brilliance to its exterior, while enhancing functionality. The K-S1 also features the an anti-aliasing filter simulator, an optical viewfinder with a glass pentaprism to provide approximately 100% field of view, and an in-body shake reduction mechanism. Compact Design, Illuminated InterfaceThe K-S1 camera body’s main chassis, including the grip, is designed to be compact in size and sophisticated in appearance, while the pentaprism employs a solid, time-proven design that easily matches high-grade SLR cameras.The Pentax K-S1’s power switch, mode dial, OK button and grip all feature LED illumination; each of which indicates the current status of camera operation. The LEDs for the power switch, for instance, stay green during still-image shooting, but change colour to red during movie recording. When the Face Detection function is activated, the number of LEDs illuminated on the grip corresponds with the number of faces that have been detected. The grip LEDs also act as a countdown timer during self timer operation. High-resolution imagesThe K-S1 is equipped with a newly developed CMOS image sensor with approximately 20.12 effective megapixels to deliver super-high-resolution images. It is also designed without an optical AA (anti-aliasing) filter to optimize the imaging power of the sensor. By coupling this image sensor with the high-performance PRIME MII imaging engine, the K-S1 delivers true-to-life, detailed images by effectively minimizing noise at all sensitivity levels, even during super-high-sensitivity shooting at ISO 51200.In-body shake reduction (SR) mechanismThe K-S1 features the PENTAX-developed SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism to effectively minimize camera shake and assure sharp, blur-free images, even in camera-shake-prone conditions such as when using a telephoto lens, shooting low-light scenes with incident light only.AA (anti-aliasing) filter simulatorBy applying microscopic vibrations to the image sensor unit at the sub-pixel level during image exposure, the K-S1’s AA filter simulator provides the same level of moiré-reduction effect as an optical AA filter. Unlike an optical AA filter, which always creates the same result, this innovative simulator lets the user not only switch the AA filter effect on and off, but also adjust the level of the effect. Optical viewfinder The K-S1 is equipped with a glass pentaprism finder featuring the same optics and coatings as those used in higher-level models. It assures the highest level of viewfinder brightness in its class, with a magnification of approximately 0.95 times to provide a broad image field for easy focusing and framing.High-speed shutterThe K-S1 provides a top shutter speed of 1/6000 second to capture the decisive moment.
