User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have WiFi capability
Answer:	Yes
Question:	What type of lenses fit
Answer:	It is not spelled out in the specs well but all of my SMC Pentax-A and Pentax-M lenses work, as well as all the screw drive focus lenses that worked on the K-3. The K-1 II does indeed have a focus drive motor in camera for those screw drive versions. My Pentax FA 100mm macro lens is the screw drive version and it focuses much faster on the K-1 II than it did on the K-3 II. Virtually any K mount lens will work....it just also means that the older manual focus lenses will need to be manually focused but the focus assist works very well in the K-i II. Also, with the non electronic lenses (no electrical contacts) you will need to tell the camera which focal length you just attached (it will ask you as soon as you turn on the camera).
Question:	Is the 28-105 lens a full frame lens
Answer:	Yes. It was released at the same time as the original K-1 in 2016. It's my everyday lens for my K-1. Works fine. I shoot ~60,000 photos/year. Be sure to get a CPL/Circular Polarizer Filter for it, especially if you shoot anything outdoors. I've used a CPL since the early 1980's.
Question:	I use a tamron 18-200 with my k-3. will it work with the k
Answer:	The mounts ae the same, so it should work with a cropped image since your K-3 lenses are not full frame. I would check Tamron's website to make sure that there is no problem with the K-1 because Sigma had three of their lenses that were causing scrapes on the mounting ring of the K-1. A side note, I have a K-3 and loved it, but the K-1 blows the K-3 away in terms of resolution and low light capabilities. Also the hand shake reduction is better also.
Question:	Where one one get old lenses for the 645Z
Answer:	I can suggest EBay...pentax 645 FA and 645 A lenses...
Question:	curious, would the older mamiya RB 6x7 lenses work with this camera
Answer:	I cannot give a Proper answer for I use only the original Pentax lenses. I don't even know whether there is an adapter to use the Mamiya lenses in the 645Z. There are many second -hand lenses from old Pentax 645N film cameras that can be used in the 645Z.
Question:	Hello, has anyone ever used the 645z with a Nikon Flash like SB800? Don't want to find out the hard way
Answer:	The best way to use your Nikon flash with the 645Z is to get two cactus v6 receiver/ transmitters . You can use any brand of flash with that set up. You will only be able to shoot the flash in manual mode but it works.
Question:	What kind of lenses available for this body? I am a wide angle interior shoote
Answer:	i have 25mm and 28-45 wide lenses in stock, i also carry almost all lenses for 645 camera

User questions & answers

Question:	This page is linked to by several camera critiquing websites with the price listed at $326. Why is in reality is it being sold for twice that amount
Answer:	Because those review sites automatically grab the cheapest prices without any evaluation, and those low prices are used prices.
Question:	Is the shutter noise quiet like the k-5ll. i have k-30, image quality is fantasic but mirror slap is terribly loud. not good for shooting birds
Answer:	It's about like the K-30; you have to get one of Pentax's magnesium body models (k-5, K-3, K-1) to get that nice quiet shutter.
Question:	Will my slr lenses fit on a dslr camera
Answer:	Any K mount lens will fit, but you will have to set the aperture manually on M series lenses and older. Series A lenses will work in fully auto mode. You have to set the aperture ring to the A setting, and set the camera to work with non-auto focus lenses. FA lenses (which were designed for full frame 35mm) will work as well as brand new lenses. DFA lenses are designed to work with crop-sensor DSLRs such as this one.
Question:	How does it focus? Is it fast and accurate? Thanks
Answer:	The auto focus works great. Way better then my old d100 that took forever to focus. I work mostly in manual though. My big selling point is that great ISO. Take a look at that.

Pentax K-r Highlights



High-quality, true-to-life image reproduction

The K-r incorporates a new generation CMOS image sensor with 12 megapixels and the high-performance PRIME (Pentax Real Image Engine) II imaging engine for accurate and high-speed data processing equal to that of upper-level Pentax digital SLR models for high-quality images. The camera also offers a wide sensitivity range between ISO 200 and ISO 12800 that may be expanded from ISO 100 to ISO 25600 via a custom function.



Compact, lightweight body

Even with the 23.6mm x 15.8mm image sensor, the K-r features a compact, lightweight, stainless-steel chassis with in-body Shake Reduction in a space-efficient design.



High-speed continuous shooting at approximately six images per second

The K-r's high-speed continuous shooting mode records as many as 25 images (in JPEG recording format) in a single sequence at a maximum speed of approximately six images per second (fastest of all entry-class models) for sharp, crisp images of fast-moving subjects.



High-precision AF system

The K-r's high-precision, wide-frame SAFOX IX autofocus system features 11 sensor points (with nine cross-type sensors positioned in the middle) for pinpoint focus on the subject. The K-r is also equipped with a spotbeam projector to assist the AF system in poorly lit locations. Accuracy and speed of contrast AF operation during Live View shooting is enhanced with a new-generation image sensor and drastic upgrading of AF algorithms.



Bright, clear optical viewfinder

The Pentax-original finder optics and the renowned Natural-Bright-Matte focusing screen ensure the K-r's viewfinder offers a bright, clear subject image at 0.85X magnification and with a 96% field of view. The viewfinder offers excellent visibility even in bright outdoor locations and provides delay-free, real-time display of the subject's image. This is helpful when shutter release timing is critical such as in sports photography. The in-focus point is indicated as a red point in the viewfinder for at-a-glance confirmation.



Large, easy-to-view 3-inch LCD monitor with wide-view design

The K-r features a large, high-resolution color LCD monitor with approximately 921,000 dots and its wide-view design assures a clear view of the monitor image from approximately 170 degrees horizontally and vertically, making it particularly useful in low- and high-angle applications during Live View shooting.



Versatile dual-power-source design

In addition to the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which allows the photographer to capture approximately 560 images with a single recharge,* the K-r can also be powered by four AA-size batteries using optional AA Battery Holder D-BH109.

_{* Based on the Pentax in-house testing conditions conforming to the CIPA standards, using a rechargeable D-LI109 Lithium-Ion Battery.}



Pentax-original Shake Reduction mechanism for sharp, blur-free images

The K-r features the Pentax-developed SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism, which effectively compensates the adverse effect of camera shake by up to approximately four shutter steps. This innovative mechanism extends its benefits to almost all Pentax interchangeable lenses--even those designed for film-format cameras.* The K-r produces sharp, blur-free images even under demanding conditions prone to camera shake, such as when using a telephoto lens, shooting in the dark without flash illumination, and shooting sunsets.

_{* Lenses compatible with this mechanism: Pentax K-, KA-, KAF-, KAF2- and KAF3-mount lenses; screw-mounted lenses (with an adapter); and 645- and 67-system lenses (with an adapter). Some functions may not be available with certain lenses.}



Innovative image-processing functions to produce distinctive photographic expressions

Custom Image function for distinctive finishing touches The K-r features the Custom Image function to allow users to select a desired finishing touch for a particular image with a choice of nine custom image modes including Bleach Bypass, which is designed to create a dramatic visual effect used in motion pictures.

Versatile Digital Filter function The K-r's Digital Filter function allows users to process recorded images in a variety of creative ways and produce highly creative visual expressions--without a computer. Users may choose from 18 filters, including a new Starburst, Sketch and Posterization and may now apply filter upon filter, one after another, to an image for more creative results.

Cross Process mode with three options The K-r features the unique Cross Process mode that automatically shifts photographic parameters for each exposure to create eye-catching images with dramatic colors (as with photographs treated with the cross process* in film photography). In addition to "Random", where the results are unpredictable until the image has been processed, users now have two new options: "Preset" with three different sets of preset parameters; and "Favorite" with user-input parameters.

_{*A film development technique that uses unconventional film development to create a distinctive finish with dramatic, stylized colors.}

Improved High Dynamic Range function The K-r features the High Dynamic Range function to create one composite image with an extra-wide gradation range from three images with different exposures without a computer. Users may choose from Auto, Standard and Expanded (at three levels) modes to accommodate different creative intentions.



Auto Align function

Allows use even with handheld shooting.



High-speed infrared data transmission system

The K-r is the first Pentax digital SLR camera equipped with the IrSimple high-speed infrared data transmission system, which allows users to transfer image data to IrSimple-compatible digital devices and post their K-r images on the web via a cellular phone. This also allows users to exchange image data between two K-r cameras and play a simple match game using image Exif data (such as aperture or shutter-speed values) to judge images and offer techniques and suggestions for better images.



High-quality, HDTV-proportion movie recording at 1280 x 720 pixels and at 25 frames per second

The K-r provides a movie-recording function,* which captures beautiful, true-to-life movie clips in 16:9 high-definition TV proportions (1280 x 720 pixels) at a frame rate of 25 frames per second. This extends many benefits of high-quality SLR photography to the world of movie shooting: For example, users may reduce the depth of field to make a subject stand out, or use different interchangeable lenses to create distinctive visual effects. The K-r also assures a greater possibility of visual presentation in movies--either through the application of digital filters, such as Toy Camera and Retro, to add specific visual effects during shooting, or through the use of various movie-editing functions after shooting.

_{*When the Pentax K-r's AV output terminal is used, movie clips are output at normal resolution. The data must be transferred to a PC for the playback of movie clips at high-definition TV proportions (1280 x 720 pixels).}

User questions & answers

Question:	GPS onboard
Answer:	a boat cabin, but I have used it for my Toyota fj cruiser a number of times and love it. It works well and the scent stays for at least 2 months. On a boat your size I would use at least six of these things to really get into all your spaces, more if your are trying to get rid of really tough odors. Hope this helps.
Question:	Could somebody please recommend a weather-sealed telephoto/zoom lens for this camera? Thanks
Answer:	I don't know what ingredients are in it...And we did not get a reaction...You have to let your car air out before using it
Question:	How is the video quality on this camera? i've been looking at the canon 80d. but was wondering if this was comparable, or is it worse
Answer:	I have used these indoors, with modest success. The area immediately surrounding the can will get pretty messy. I think would recommend sticking with something like Febreze and spraying by hand as needed.
Question:	How does it focus? Is it fast and accurate? Thanks
Answer:	I have leather seats and they are fine. I hold it back about 8 inches when I do spray. And it smells so good!!

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this compatible with Pentax K
Answer:	This is a legitimate iPhone. Came in good condition but is obviously refurbished as it came with nothing but a charger, and not even an Apple one. The phone has been functioning alright for the month I’ve had it with the exception of it randomly glitching where the screen gets jumpy for a few seconds and it will go to the homescreen, open an app, jump to the homescreen, etc rapidly. This only lasts for a few seconds but you’ll have no control over it while it’s happening. It doesn’t it maybe once every few days. Isn’t that big of a deal to me but is weird. It’s almost like someone else is controlling my phone.
Question:	Do they work with a Pentax KS
Answer:	Bought one that said it was “Fully Unlocked” and most definitely works on T-Mobile.

K-70 & 0-GPS1

By combining the PENTAX K-70's built-in Shake Reduction System with the optional 0-GPS1, the GPS module, Electronic Compass and the cameras Shake Reduction mechanism combine to simplify astronomical photography of celestial bodies, without the requirement of an equatorial mount. Based on the latitude data obtained from GPS satellites and other affecting factors (the camera's direction and horizontal/vertical tilt) obtained by its various sensors, the O-GPS1 calculates the movement of celestial bodies, then synchronizes the movement of its image sensor with that of celestial bodies with great precision. Since it captures stars without a streaking effect even during extended exposures, you can record faint stars, which are difficult to detect with the naked eye.
