A Compact Digital SLR Camera Featuring Dustproof,
Weather-Resistant Construction Perfect for Outdoor Photography

The PENTAX KF offers outstanding imaging performance in a compact body. Featuring dustproof, weather-resistant construction and dependable cold-proof performance down to temperatures as low as 14°F, it’s optimized for all types of outdoor photography.

It incorporates a host of advanced functions and user-friendly features including a pentaprism-type optical viewfinder with a nearly 100% field of view and 0.95-times magnification and an in-body shake-reduction system with a 4.5-shutter-step compensation.

Built with the photographer in mind, the grip, control buttons on the back panel and mode dials are contoured to offer optimum comfort and operability. The high-definition vari-angle LCD monitor makes it easier to compose images in a wide variety of applications, while the unique Night Vision Red Light LCD function minimizes eye strain and fatigue for nightscape and astrophotography.
