The Pentax K5 DSLR – Technological Advancements and Easy to Use
We understand the struggle when evaluating a possible new camera, that is why we want to talk more about the Pentax K5 in some detail. The K5 DSLR comes with a suite of upgraded functions including many post-shooting options. Pentax, like so many other brands, would not exclude video capability since they are well aware of what people want. Customization is hugely popular it seems, and the wide range of available digital filters allow that to happen. However, what is possible with the shots you take will give you a lot to work with, as well. We will jump right into discussing a few other intriguing features with the Pentax K5.
The K5 is all about doing more with more precision that is faster, and you will see the term, CMOS, thrown around a lot which is where all that comes from. Processing images with greater speeds and clarity rests partly with the PRIME II sensing engine. Both hardware and software improvements work to bring you increased resolution photographs. You will be able to take photos at a rate of 7 images per second with no degradation of resolution. Depending on your particular needs for increased parameters, you will have to use custom functions. The Pentax K5 of course comes with an impressive array of additional functions. Lots of photographers experiment with extended exposure pics, and yes the K5 allows you to do that. It is common to encounter various problems if everything is not executed properly. So, in response, the K5 has a new design for reducing noise in these scenarios. The noise reduction, NR, mode has improved sensitivity for greater clarity along with auto, off and on modes. In addition, the ability to perform light measurements is made possible with better resolution in metering.
There is nothing worse than losing your battery in an important situation with a cell phone or anything else. Even the most prolific photographer will be pleased with how far the K5 will go. Hopefully you will find 1100 snapshots from one battery charge cycle to be adequate for your needs. Other improvements, unrelated to power, include Pentax’s Hyper-Control System which is designed to give more flexibility with features used. For those who desire more pristine images, you can get additional automatic distortion compensation with certain lenses. Depending on what you are trying to shoot, you may want to look into lenses that reduce chromatic aberration even further. What you will learn, if you read more, is a wide range of engineering innovation in the Pentax K5. Just about all digital SLR’s have video, and they usually do not have loaded features. Sometimes audio is great to have with video, and for that you can simply use the external microphone jack. The K5 is not meant to be a video camera, so of course it will not have features normally found on that kind of camera. There are far more very positive points with the K5 than negatives.
