16 Segment Metering

The K10D easily handles even the 
most difficult lighting conditions with  
its 16 segment metering system.  
It can accurately assess the balance 
between the bright and dark areas 
within the segments automatically,  
or, alternatively, you can opt for  
center weighted or spot metering.

11 Point Autofocus

The K10D uses an 11 point autofo-
cus system. In automatic operation 
(AUTO) the camera recognizes which 
object is nearest and chooses that 
object as the main focus point. If you 
want more direct control you can se-
lect any of the 11 points individually.  
It is also possible to simply select 
the center of the image as your main 
point of focus.
With continuous autofocus, the focus 
adjusts as your subject moves within 
the frame, or should you prefer more 
direct control, you can always  
focus manually.  

Sensitivity Range

The K10D operates between ISO 
100 and ISO 1600. Naturally, you 
can select the ISO value manually, 
or, in automatic operation, you can 
determine the ISO range in which you 
want to work.  With the new Sensitiv-
ity Priority mode (Sv) the ISO can  
be changed by simply turning the  
selector wheel.

The Color White

With the K10D you can either specify 
one of the standard white balance 
settings, set your color temperature, 
or manually set the white balance. If 
that isn’t enough, you can fine-tune 
color temperatures and preview the 
results to verify your settings.  If you 
find yourself shooting regularly under 
certain conditions, you can manually 
save 3 color temperature settings  
into memory. 

The Perfect exposure

image Capture

Image processing begins in the camera.  
With the K10D you can set how you want your 
pictures to appear.  Do you prefer the images to 
be neutral in color rendition, or would you prefer 
something a bit more elaborate and colorful? 
The K10D can store the preferred parameters for 
sharpening, contrast and color saturation. 
Something entirely new is the RAW converter in 
the camera. Photos that were taken in RAW can 
be directly converted to JPEG files in-camera, as 
they are stored, or you can capture in the Adobe 
Standard DNG format.  
Finally, with the RAW button, you can quickly 
change from shooting just JPEG’s to RAW + 
JPEG’s on the fly.  You don’t have to go through 
a series of menus, simply press the button and 
keep on shooting.
