Pentax ES ES Manual - Page 3

ASAHI PENTAX EE Your Asahi Pentax ES is the most exciting 35 mm SLR camera on the market today. It comes equipped with a through-the-lens metering system with focal-plane electronic shutter for automatic exposure control. The fully automatic electronic shutter operates just like an electronic computer assuring you of perfect exposures everytime. The new electronic shutter lets you shoot automatically at any speed between 1/1000 and 8 seconds! If the exact shutter speed should be 1/459, 1/733 or 1/952 seconds, then that's the shutter speed that will be automatically selected. Our patented memory device and electronic shutter make it possible. There's also an exposure control dial for intentional over- or under-exposures. The Pentax ES is the only automatic single-lens reflex camera that works automatically without special lenses. It operates automatically with virtually all Takumar lenses, as well as, bellows, extension tubes, and other close-up accessories. The reason is, unlike other cameras, the automation is incorporated into the body itself, not into the lens. Your Pentax ES is equipped with a Super-Multi-Coated Takumar lens. Exclusively developed by Pentax, Super-Multi-Coated Takumar lenses reduce flare and boost contrast to a degree far beyond what was previously possible in optical technology. Your pictures will have more detail and richer colors than is possible with any other system at any price. In addition to the exclusive new features of the Pentax ES, you'll find many of the refinements that have established Pentax as the leading fine camera maker in the world. The ES retains the same traditional compactness and classic feel. It also is designed for use with the accessories from the Pentax system, including all the superb Takumar lenses ranging from dynamic wideangle to powerful telephoto. The Pentax system is ready to grow with you. The Asahi Pentax ES is an excellent choice in a fine camera. We wish you exciting photography in the years to come. .1 1
