Immune to the four enemies
of photography.
CAMERA SHAKE, DUST, LIMITED CONTRAST RANGE, INCLEMENT WEATHER. EACH OF THESE PRESENTS A RENEWED CHALLENGE
FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS VIRTUALLY EVERY TIME THEY GO OUT TO SHOOT. THE NEW PENTAX K200D OFFERS NEW TECHNOLO-
GIES TO COMBAT THESE EVERY-DAY ANNOYANCES – ALLOWING YOU TO CONCENTRATE ON CAPTURING EXPRESSIVE AND
STRONG IMAGES.
"BLUR" IS SUCH A SILLY WORD. NOW SIMPLY IGNORE IT.

When you're on the go with your camera most of your shots will be hand-held. In fast moving situations there is always
the risk of blurred shots due to camera shake. Whether the lighting conditions require long shutter speeds or because
the camera, for whatever reason, can't be held sufficiently steady.
The PENTAX Shake Reduction system substantially increases your chances of a getting a sharp image. When the camera's
gyro sensor registers movement the highly efficient, opto-magnetical sensor technology ensures that the image sensor
implements a counter-movement neutralizing blur. The result: pin sharp images.
PENTAX Shake Reduction gives the photographer an additional hand-holdable exposure range of 4EV – that's 4 full stops!
Here's another important characteristic of the system to consider: it is an integral component of the camera body so it's
fully functional with any PENTAX lens.

DUST IS SERIOUS MATTER.

TAKE IT IN YOUR STRIDE.
PENTAX Dust Alert is the logical and unique addition of the Dust
Removal Function. It has been shown that under certain condi-
tions dust particles that were not moved with vibration can remain
clinging to the sensor. PENTAX Dust Alert locates these persistent
particles and precisely indicates their location. The sensor can
then be easily and accurately cleaned with a Cleaning Stick that
is available as an optional accessory.

DUST AND SPLASH-PROOF BODY.
With the PENTAX K200D all weather is photography weather.
60 seals on the body and 14 on the battery grip ensure that
moisture, dust and sand cannot wear at the camera. Addi-
tionally, the fibreglassreinforced polycarbonate housing with
high-grade steel chassis offers the necessary robustness to
stand up to the rigorous demands of daily use.

THE THING ABOUT SENSITIVITY.

No camera – whether film or digital – can capture
contrast differences to the same range as the human
eye. For example, the face of a person in a backlit
situation often raises problems. The same applies
to the intricate surface design of a bright object set
against a dark background. With the new Dynamic
Range Enlargement your photos take a major step
forward. The PENTAX DRE function performs an
amazing feat: it extends the contrast range of the
picture by a full exposure stop.
The result: a more evenly modulated image with rich
details emerging from darker ranges and restored
detail in the brighter areas. These photos will clearly

show greater spatiality and tension.
