BATTERY GRIP D-BG2
The PENTAX battery grip offers the necessary power to ensure an optimal
performance of the K10D camera while it's in continuous use. The grip
uses the D-Li50 Li-Ion battery (sold separately). The battery grip features
an additional shutter release, adjusting dial for selecting aperture or shut-
ter speed and other functional controls – particularly practical if shooting
vertically. With proven PENTAX ergonomics the camera fits reliably and
comfortably in the hand. The battery compartment provides storage
space for a memory card and remote control next to the batteries.
REPLACEMENT BATTERY D-Li50
Interchangeable power: with a pre-charged spare battery you'll never
have to stop shooting.
REMOTE CONTROL F
Shutter release without blur: With the infrared remote control you operate
the shutter from in front of or behind the camera up to 5 metres away.
VIEWFINDER LOUPE O-ME53
With the Viewfinder Loupe attached the finest details will grab your
attention. The 1.2x magnification facilitates the assessment of fine
details more accurately.
OPTIONAL FOCUSING SCREENS LL80 AND LI80
PENTAX offers two optional focusing screens for the K10D to replace the
standard screen. The AF Divided Matte screen combines the focus area
brackets with a grid to assure proper composition. The AF Scale Matte
screen provides a scale to verify subject placement for critical applications.
