Superior depiction and mobility.

Superior image depiction under extreme conditions. The new WG-5 GPS.

Optimal for capturing night scenes, underwater scenes, and fast moving subjects.
Equipped with a high-performance lens with a maximum aperture 2.0.

The camera has superior brightness with the folded optic zoom lens and is equipped with a high-performance 4.0x optical zoom lens of maximum aperture 2.0.
Since the lens is bright, the sensitivity is suppressed even when shooting with the same shutter speed and allows recording in high image quality in dark scenes.

Various shooting modes that support high image quality

[Auto Picture Mode] The camera automatically recognizes scenes and sets an optimal shooting mode. You can capture beautiful photos through automatic camera operations.

[Vibrant] [Reversal] Newly equipped with reputable image finish modes of PENTAX single lens reflex cameras.

[Underwater Mode] More natural colors during underwater shooting due to optimization of white balance. Equipped with a new flash function exclusive to this mode.

[Landscape Mode] Landscape mode, that efficiently captures the greens of trees and blues of the sky, has been further developed.

Newly evolved underwater mode

White balance optimization suppresses the bluishness often found in underwater shots, with the result being more natural colors for your underwater photographs. There is also a new function for taking two consecutive underwater shots with the flash on and off.

Underwater Mode ON

Underwater Mode OFF

Vibrant A Japanese style taste that creates a bright, vivid photo with depth	Reversal A sharp finish with high contrast, as if shot using reversal film
Newly developed landscape mode Due to optimized white balance, the green color of trees are beautifully realized

Easily shootable "Digital Microscope Mode". A microscopic world, invisible to the naked eye

6 LEDs are installed on the lens circumference. The subject is lit brightly so you can shoot images without worrying about the shadow of the camera and capture microscopic worlds easily. Also supports movies.

Secure shooting possible using the macro stand accessory
