Pentax KB89885 Operation Manual - Page 11

Before using your camera 10 Camera Characteristics • Uses a 23.5×15.7mm CCD with 6.1 mega-pixels of effective pixels for high precision and a wide dynamic range. 1 • Small, light, and highly rigid among digital cameras with interchangeable lenses. • Consecutive shooting at approximately three 2.6 per second (6 frames max.) with noise reduction off. • Features a newly developed AF sensor, with 11-point distance measurement. (Center uses a wide cross area AF including 9 focus points.) • Improved manual focusing using a viewfinder similar to a conventional 35mm SLR camera, but with 0.95× magnification. Also features a superimpose function, in which the focus points on the viewfinder illuminate red. • Can use two CR-V3 lithium batteries, four AA lithium batteries, four AA Ni-MH batteries or four AA alkaline batteries. • Features the two-dial hyper operating system. • Can install the battery grip (sold separately) which uses the same batteries as the camera, extends battery life and has a vertical shutter release button. This camera can be used with a variety of Pentax 35mm interchangeable lenses. While the size of the CCD is 23.5×15.7mm, the format size of the 35mm camera is 36×24mm. As a result, the angle of view (the size and scale of the subject to be photographed) will differ from 35mm cameras when lenses of the same focal length are used to take pictures from the same distance. The format size of a 35mm camera is approximately 1.5 times larger than the format size of this camera. As such, focal distance when the lens for 35mm format lens is attached to this camera will be equivalent to approx. 1.5 times more than the value noted on the lens.
