![]() A special damper has been developed to reduce vibrations and make the mirror mechanism ultra silent and smooth. The shutter as well as the mirror mechanism have also been refined to allow for the high frame rate of 8.3 fps. The shutter has been upgraded to now be rated at a 200,000-actuation life span. This means that the image during live view and playback is significantly larger than on the older 4:3 monitors: The aspect ratio of the monitor is 3:2, thus matching the image format. On paper this is but a minor upgrade over the earlier models, but reality is different. The size of the rear monitor is 3.2 inches diagonally with a resolution of 1,037,000 dots. The feature works at shutter speeds up to 1/1000s.īack to the sensor: The 24 MP sensor in the K-3 is manufactured by Sony. This helps reduce or eliminate aliasing when the camera goes to produce a full color image from the sensor's Bayer pattern. When enabled, the AA Filter Simulator vibrates the sensor in such a way that it emulates the effect of an anti-aliasing filter, spilling a bit of light from each pixel over to its neighbors while capturing an image. Pentax has decided to make clever use of the Shake Reduction (SR) system to suppress moire artifacts on demand. To recap: a camera without an AA filter may produce a false color pattern (moire) when there is a fine, repetitive pattern in the subject being photographed. The innovation is that the K-3 provides an anti-moire system known as the AA Filter Simulator, a unique feature that no other manufacturer currently offers. Neither is the absence of the anti-aliasing (AA) filter, as the K-5 IIs before it was also filterless. The increase from 16 MP to 24 MP in the K-3 isn't the only big news, however. Pentax has finally parted with the 16 megapixel sensor that it used in all previous DSLR models over the past three years.
