YOU HAVE TO CATCH THE LIGHT
TO CAPTURE THE MOMENT.
Light is clever. On one hand it reassures us that the
world is a familiar, trusted and friendly place. On the
other hand light can bring a changeable new perspec-
tive to everything. For photographers it is fascinating to
follow these changes and to try to capture strong im-
ages of people, places, objects or landscapes. PENTAX
understands this fascination. That is why we have spent
decades finding creative new solutions that set the
standard in photography.
The new PENTAX K200D is a prime example. For people
who want more freedom, increased opportunity and
more pure pleasure from their photography the K200D
opens the door to the ultimate expression of creativity:
digital SLR photography. The huge pallet of technologi-
cal features that the K200D musters makes it a leading
camera in its class. It links its high level of performance
with a user-friendliness that makes the entrance into
SLR photography an inspiring experience.

It does it all. And simply.
THE REAL STRENGTH OF SLR TECHNOLOGY IS THAT IT CAN DELIVER HIGH-QUALITY AND IMPRESSIVE IMAGES IN ALMOST
ANY SITUATION. THAT'S BECAUSE IT CAPTURES THE WIDEST RANGE OF INFORMATION THAT INFLUENCE ALL THE POSSI-
BILITIES THAT GO INTO CREATING THE ULTIMATE FINAL IMAGE. THE STRENGTH OF THE K200D: IT BRINGS NEW CREATIVE
OPPORTUNITIES TO THE PHOTOGRAPHER THAT ARE SIMPLE TO CAPTURE, WHILST BEING EASY TO USE.
FROM 0 TO 800 IN 1 SECOND: PENTAX PRIME.
Demanding digital technology requires the highest computing power performance during data processing. The PRIME processor
(PENTAX Real Image Engine) developed by PENTAX ensures that the K200D packs all the computing punch necessary. Data
communication rates up to 800 MB/sec guarantee smooth operation without delays. This also allows the K200D to take a
series of shots at up to 3 pictures per second.
A LOT OF ROOM FOR FEELING: A 10.2 MEGAPIXEL RESOLUTION CCD.
Great feeling can be found in the details. The high resolving power of the K200D's image sensor supplies photographs of
impressing depth and brilliance. It provides great photos in every sense of the word. The results of the camera are not only
captivating with its image quality, it can easily provide problem-free high-quality prints up to 50 x 70cm in size – and even
larger prints are possible with outstanding results. The 10.2 Megapixel resolution also means that impressive enlargements
can be made from a cropped area of the original shot without having to accept a noticeable loss of quality.
A PLACE OF STABILITY: PENTAX SHAKE REDUCTION.
Even photography must obey the laws of physics. One proof of this are images that aren't perfectly clear due to camera
shake: if the camera is not kept sufficiently steady at the moment the shutter is released the pictures will be blurred. The
PENTAX Shake Reduction system substantially decreases the possibility of blur caused by camera shake by effectively steading
your hand. This is done by increasing the range of shutter speeds that you can hand hold the camera for. The result is brilliant
photos in critical situations. An added bonus: since the Shake Reduction is integrated in the camera body it is fully func-
tional with any PENTAX lens.
A FINE DIFFERENCE: PENTAX DYNAMIC RANGE ENLARGEMENT (DRE).
Time and again we find situations that push the limit of the camera to control high contrast levels. A good example: a picture
of a person in front of a brightly illuminated background will almost always turn out too dark. With the PENTAX Dynamic
Range Enlargement you'll find greater detail in shots taken in demanding conditions.
DON'T GIVE DUST A CHANCE: PENTAX DUST ALERT.
Dust particles on the sensor can ruin the best pictures. That's why PENTAX has refined the Dust Removal System in such a
unique way. Dust Alert is able to clearly locate persistently adhering particles and to accurately indicate their position on the
camera's monitor. This makes it simple to remove the contamination with the Cleaning Stick that is available as an accessory.
