Weather Resistance
Whether you're shooting on a drizzling Autumn morning, on a snowy mountain-
side, along a dusty desert trail or in a tropical rain forest; the seals around the
durable K10D body reliably protect the inner components against humidity and
the finest dust particles. Other design elements further protect the K10D from the
forces of nature. The fiber-reinforced polycarbonate body surrounding the high-
rigidity, stainless-steel chassis provides plenty of strength for every day use.
A complete system: the K10D is protected by 72 seals and the optional battery
grip with an additional 38, assuring complete protection against humidity, dust
or sand. PENTAX offers the highest level of protection in this class. Durable
and solid: the stainless-steel chassis is also impermeable to corrosion and
is extremely stable.
Dust Removal
Behind the "Dust Removal" designation lies an entire system unto itself. The sur-
face of the low pass filter is sealed with a nanotechnology based fluorine coating.
This ensures that dust cannot adhere to the sensor surface. Dust that still remains
on the surface is shaken off when the SR system shifts the CCD at high speed.
The dust that is shaken off the CCD, then falls onto an adhesive sheet eliminating
any possibility of its returning to the CCD surface. Dust flecks are now a thing of
the past, along with annoying and time consuming retouching work.
