True-to-life, rich-gradation images
assured by 6.1 effective megapixels
The K100D features a large, high-performance 23.5mm
x 15.7mm CCD as its image sensor, assuring the faithful
reproduction of the desired photographic intention in the
resulting images — from images with beautiful out-of-
focus backgrounds to those with edge-to-edge sharpness.
By combining 6.1 effective megapixels with a high-per-
formance imaging engine and advanced image-processing
technologies, the K100D is designed to produce beautiful,
true-to-life images that are rich in gradation. What's more,
it offers a choice of two finishing touches of "Natural" or
"Bright" to create a distinctive atmosphere.
Top shutter speed of 1/4000 second
The K100D offers a top shutter speed of 1/4000 second to
freeze fast-moving subjects and capture decisive moments.
It also features a flash synchronization speed of 1/180
second and a bulb setting (B) for extended exposures.
Continuous shooting at approximately
2.8 images per second
To track the movement of an active subject or capture a
sequence of the subject's expressions, the K100D offers a
continuous shooting mode that allows the photographer to
capture multiple images (up to five images at "Best" image
quality in JPEG format) at a maximum speed of approxi-
mately 2.8 images per second.
