Major features
1. PENTAX-original SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism for sharp, blur-free images
The K200D is equipped with the PENTAX-developed SR (Shake Reduction)
mechanism, which effectively reduces camera shake for sharp, blur-free
images even under demanding shooting conditions, such as when using a
telephoto lens, shooting in the dark or at night without supplementary
flash illumination, or using extended exposures for sunset scenes.
This innovative mechanism shifts the position of the CCD image sensor
vertically and horizontally at high speed using magnetic force, while
adjusting the shifting speed in proportion to the amount of camera
shake detected by a built-in sensor. It offers an outstanding
compensation effect, equivalent to approximately 2.5 to 4 shutter-speed
steps. As a result, it does not require special anti-shake lenses, and
can be used with almost all existing PENTAX interchangeable lenses.*
* Lenses compatible with this mechanism are: the PENTAX K-, KA-, KAF-
and KAF2-mount lenses, screw-mount lenses (with an adapter); and 645-
and 67-system lenses (with an adapter). Some functions may not be
applicable with certain lenses.
2. High quality image
The K200D combines a large, high-performance 23.5mm x 15.7mm CCD image
sensor with the sophisticated PRIME (PENTAX Real Image Engine) as its
imaging engine. With its approximately 10.2 effective megapixels, the
K200D produces beautiful, fine-detailed images with subtle gradations
and texture descriptions. In addition, the K200D features Custom Image
function that helps to create its intended images by allowing the users
to select one of the six modes and adjusting the image’s finishing
touches to their presence.
3. Comprehensive Dust Removal system with prevention, removal and confirmation devices
