◆ While compact and lightweight, they
incorporate a stainless-steel chassis and a
fiber-reinforced engineering plastic housing
to reinforce overall rigidity and durability.
◆ 19 custom functions to personalize camera
operations
◆ They use Secure Digital (SD) memory card
as storage media, assuring high-speed
recording and readout of image data, and
helping to reduce camera body size. Further-
more, the cameras can store images standard
format where all files are located in one
folder, or the images can be automatically
stored in folders for each day of shooting
using the save-by-day feature.
◆ They can run on three different power
sources to maximize user convenience. Use
either 4x AA (lithium, alkaline, and NiMH),
2x CR-V3 batteries or optional AC adapter.
◆ USB 2.0 compatibility for speedy data
transfer to PC and PictBridge compatibility
for printing without a computer(One image
print, All image print, DPOF, Paper size,
Paper type, Paper quality, Border)
◆ Five digital filters (B&W, Sepia, Slim, Soft
and Brightness) for easy editing of recorded
images.
◆ In addition to the five Picture Modes, there
are also 8 scene modes including Night
Scene, Surf & Snow, Text, Sunset, Kids, Pet,
Candlelight and Museum
◆ Use your
existing Pentax
35mm lenses
and accessories.
The K110D and
K100D offers
the outstanding
benefit of lens
interchangeability
that allows users
to take advantage of
almost all existing Pentax
interchangeable lenses. (Pentax K, KA, KAF
and KAF2-mount 35mm-format lenses can
be used without an adapter or modification.
Pentax screw-mount 35mm-format lenses
and Pentax 645- and 67-system lenses can be
used with an adapter. Some functions may
not be available with certain lenses.)
Shake Reduction (SR) System —K100D Only
The K100D is equipped with the Pentax-developed Shake Reduction
(SR) system, which effectively reduces camera shake for sharp, blur-
free images even under difficult shooting conditions, such as using
a telephoto lens, shooting in the dark or at night without extra flash
illumination, or using extended exposures for sunset scenes. The SR
mechanism incorporated in the K100D 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 by a built-in sensor. As a result, it does not require special
anti-shake lenses, and can be used with almost all existing Pentax interchangeable lenses.

◆ Detailed image data display, including a
Scene mode name
◆ Extraction and filing of JPEG format from
RAW data
◆ A variety of image file editing functions

Bundled Software
Photo Browser 3 facilitates various post-shooting operations, including the transfer of recorded
images to and the filing, browsing, editing, simple revision, and printing of transferred images on
a PC. Photo Browser 3 offers fast image-processing speed, simplified image transfer operations,
enhanced docketing and protect functions, and a detailed image data display plus the ability to
convert files to the DNG format.
◆ Display and direct printing of RAW data files
◆ Development and filing of RAW data in
JPEG and TIFF formats
◆ White-balance control using a gray point
◆ Gradation control using a tone curve
◆ Histogram display, with over and underex-
posure warnings
◆ Simplified image editing, with sensitivity,
brightness, saturation, contrast and
outline controls
◆ Noise reduction, peripheral brightness
control, distortion compensation and chro-
matic aberration compensation functions
◆ Image compensation for digital shift
Pentax Photo Laboratory 3 Not only processes undeveloped RAW data, but also offers a vari-
ety of image-editing functions on a PC. Featuring SILKYPIX as its image-development engine, it
assures fast data processing speeds and also performs various image-editing and data-manipulation
functions without requiring additional retouching software.
◆ The SR system is activated only when
you press the shutter release, any effect
on battery consumption is negligible.
◆ Leave SR on, turning it off only when
using a tripod or panning (deliberately
moving the camera in the direction of
subject motion to blur the background).
◆ AF speed, shutter lag time and continu-
ous shooting rate are unaffected, because
SR operation is instantaneous, occurring
within the normal exposure interval.
◆ By building the system into the body, SR
provides maximum flexibility and requires
no compromises in optical quality.
◆ To provide optimal shake reduction, the
camera must “know” the focal length of
the lens in use. Pentax F, FA, D-FA, and
DA lenses automatically relay focal
length information to the camera. With
older lenses, users can manually input
focal length information via the SR
menu which allows focal lengths all the
way from 8- 800mm.
