16 1 I Characteristics Before Using Your Camera • Features a 23.7×15.7 mm CMOS sensor with approximately 16.28 million effective pixels for high precision and a wide dynamic range. • Features Shake Reduction (SR), an image sensor shifting shake reduction system. This enables you to capture sharp pictures with minimal camera shake regardless of the lens type. • Features an AF sensor with 11 focusing points. The central 9 focusing points are wide cross area sensors.
Shake Reduction (SR) Shake Reduction (SR) on this camera features a PENTAX original system which uses magnetic force to move the image sensor at high speeds, compensating for camera shake. The camera may generate some operating noise when it is shaken, such as when changing the composition of a picture. This is normal and not a malfunction.
18 About the J 1 Before Using Your Camera Compared with the I, the J is superior in its ability to express the fine details, which enables taking even higher definition images. Please note the following to enjoy the high resolution of your J to the fullest. Relationship between High Resolution and Aperture When taking photographs in situations where the ability to record fine details is important, an open aperture up to an aperture of F8 is recommended to reduce the effects of diffraction.

For example, when shooting a moving car with Trailing Curtain Sync, trailing light is captured while the shutter is open and the flash captures the car immediately before the shutter is closed.
165 Distance and Aperture when Using the Built-in Flash Relationships between the guide number, aperture and distance must be considered when shooting with the flash to obtain a correct exposure. Calculate and adjust the shooting conditions if the flash output is not sufficient. Sensitivity ISO 100 ISO 200 ISO 400 ISO 800 ISO 1600 Built-in Flash Guide Number Approx. 13 Approx. 18.4 Approx. 26 Approx. 36.8 Approx. 52 Sensitivity Built-in flash guide number ISO 3200 Approx. 73.5 ISO 6400 Approx.
166 Lens Compatibility with the Built-in Flash Depending on the lens used with this camera, the use of the built-in flash may not be available or may be limited due to vignetting. The built-in flash cannot be regulated and fully discharges when A lenses not set to the s (Auto) position, lenses manufactured prior to the A lenses or soft focus lenses are used. DA, DA L, D FA, FA J, and FA lenses not listed below can be used without problems. * The following lenses were evaluated without a hood.
Using an External Flash (Optional) 167 Using an optional external flash AF540FGZ, AF360FGZ, AF200FG or AF160FC enables a variety of flash modes such as P-TTL auto flash mode. (z: Available #: Restricted ×: Not available) Flash AF540FGZ AF360FGZ AF200FG AF160FC Red-eye reduction flash z z z Auto flash discharge z z z After the flash is charged, the camera automatically switches to the flash sync speed. z z z Aperture value is automatically set in e mode and b mode.
168 About the Display Panel for AF360FGZ The AF360FGZ itself does not have the function to set the FORMAT size to [DIGITAL]. However, when it is used with a SLR Digital Camera, the difference in focal length between a 35 mm camera and this camera is automatically calculated based on the difference in angle of view and is displayed on the panel (when using DA, DA L, D FA, FA J, FA or F lens).
169 • For details such as operation method and effective distance, please refer to the external flash manual. • The flash does not discharge if the subject is bright enough when the flash mode is C or i. Therefore, it may not be suitable for Daylight-Sync shooting. • Never press the E button when any external flash unit is attached to the camera. The built-in flash will hit the external flash. If you want to use both at once, set the wireless mode or connect them using the extension cord. (p.
170 Using Flash in Wireless Mode By using two external flashes (AF540FGZ or AF360FGZ) or using the built-in flash with one or more external flashes, you can shoot in P-TTL flash mode without connecting the flash units with a cord. • Set the power switch of the external flash to WIRELESS. • Two or more AF540FGZ/AF360FGZ external flashes are required to use high-speed flash sync in wireless mode.
