PENTAX ANNOUNCES K10D DIGITAL SLR WITH TEN MEGAPIXELS,
SHAKE REDUCTION AND WEATHER-RESISTANT BODY
GOLDEN, CO. (September 13, 2006)…PENTAX Imaging Company announced today the PENTAX K10D
digital SLR camera with 10.2 effective megapixels and a host of advanced technologies including a
PENTAX-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system and a weather- resistant body.
Designed to deliver high-quality digital images and responsive operation for advanced photo enthusiasts,
the K10D features an array of PENTAX innovations in image capture and camera functionality.
The most significant features in the K10D include:
●
A PENTAX-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system that effectively offers a 2.5 to 4 stop advantage
for sharp, blur-free images even under difficult shooting conditions, such as macro and telephoto
photography or low light settings without a flash. The SR mechanism is designed to minimize camera
shake by oscillating the CCD image sensor vertically and horizontally at high speed using magnetic
force, while adjusting the speed of oscillation in proportion to the amount of camera shake detected
