PENTAX ANNOUNCES K10D DIGITAL SLR WITH TEN MEGAPIXELS,
SHAKE REDUCTION AND WEATHER-RESISTANT BODY
GOLDEN, CO. (September 13, 2006)...PENTAX Imaging Company announced today the PENTAX K10D
digital SLR camera with 10.2 effective megapixels and a host of advanced technologies including a
PENTAX-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system and a weather- resistant body.
Designed to deliver high-quality digital images and responsive operation for advanced photo enthusiasts,
the K10D features an array of PENTAX innovations in image capture and camera functionality.
The most significant features in the K10D include:
A PENTAX-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system that effectively offers a 2.5 to 4 stop advantage
for sharp, blur-free images even under difficult shooting conditions, such as macro and telephoto
photography or low light settings without a flash. The SR mechanism is designed to minimize camera
shake by oscillating the CCD image sensor vertically and horizontally at high speed using magnetic
force, while adjusting the speed of oscillation in proportion to the amount of camera shake detected

- Page 5 Dust Removal system to help keep the CCD surface dust-free The K10D features the new Dust Removal (DR) system to prevent dust from sticking to the surface of the CCD image sensor (or low-pass filter). Applied to the CCD surface through a vapor deposition process of a fluorine compound, the PENTAX-original Special Protect (SP) coating effectively prevents dust and stains from adhering to the surface.
- Page 6 Continuous shooting at approximately 3 images per second To trace the movement of an active subject or capture a sequence of the subject’s expressions, the K10D offers a continuous shooting mode that allows the photographer to capture a series of images at a maximum speed of approximately 3 images per second.
- Page 7 Design and Specifications are subject to change without notice Shake Reduction Technology The new PENTAX K10D and K100D digital SLR cameras incorporate a unique high-tech feature that helps deliver sharp, blur-free handheld shots with any Pentax lens. This is particularly helpful in situations where camera shake is an issue, such as with telephoto lenses, indoors without a flash, or other low light conditions at dawn, dusk or at night.
- Page 8 As a result, photographers can capture sharp images at a shutter speed that is 2 – 3.5 stops slower with the K100D and 2.5 – 4 stops slower with the K10D (e.g. 1/15 sec instead of 1/60 sec with a standard lens) than would otherwise be possible.

- Page 11 Thanks to its newly developed, high-performance optics, this new medium-telephoto lens measures only 26 millimeters long and weighs a mere 130 grams. When mounted on a PENTAX digital SLR camera body, it protrudes very little from the camera’s front panel and offers a focal length equivalent to 107mm in 35mm format, making it a perfect choice for casual portrait and landscape photography.
- Page 12 This lens is exclusively designed for use with PENTAX digital SLR cameras, with an image circle perfectly proportioned to the CCD size (23.5mm x 15.7mm), and optics optimized for digital imaging characteristics. Combining high-quality image reproduction with an ultra-thin, super-lightweight design, it is a perfect partner to PENTAX digital SLR cameras.
