It stands out for its enhanced and improved imaging capabilities, the Pentax K-1 Mark II is the successor to the original full-frame DSLR model, the Pentax K-1. With a 36.4MP CMOS sensor and PRIME IV image processor, the camera is capable of producing high-resolution images up to 4.4 fps and recording Full HD video. The 14-bit image processor has been upgraded with a Ricoh accelerator unit, helping to reduce noise while increasing clarity and color accuracy. It also extends the sensitivity range up to ISO 819200 for low-light photography. Additionally, contributing to image quality improvement, the 5-axis Shake Reduction system reduces camera shake for better handheld shooting. This image stabilization system activates the Pixel Shift Resolution II, which utilizes sensor movement to capture continuous frames and merge them for greater color detail and resolution. The Dynamic Pixel Shift Resolution benefits from this technology but allows you to achieve similar results when shooting handheld without the use of a tripod.

Other features include:

• DRII (Dust Removal II) mechanism for effective reduction of dust on the image sensor using ultrasonic vibrations
• Crop mode with the option to accommodate different types of AUTO, FF (Full Frame), and APS-C
• Sharpness control and tone correction functions, the latest technology developed in RICOH laboratories
