The PENTAX 645Z is the medium-format camera that leads the pack in imaging performance. Amongst the spirit of the digital age, the PENTAX 645D made its presence felt intensely as a medium-format digital camera with an integrated image sensor, astounding resolution, and dynamic resolving power. But the advancements didn’t stop there. The PENTAX 645Z , equipped with a new CMOS image sensor with approximately 51.4 million pixels, puts the power of ultra high definition images in your hand. In addition to the new tilt-able LCD monitor and Live View function, significantly improved responsiveness including AF, image processing and high-speed Instant Review are added. Portability and agility have been polished and image quality that can only be called ‘hyper realistic’ has been unquestionably achieved.
The PENTAX 645Z. Gaze at the distant heights it has achieved and take a step into unknown realms of photography
Approx. 51.4 Million Effective Pixels,
43.8 X 32.8mm Large CMOS Image Sensor
Capture everything reflected in the eyes and felt by the heart. The medium format CMOS image sensor meets the ideals of the photographer. This sensor is approximately 1.7 times larger compared to the dimension of a full-frame 35 mm format. The effective pixels are approximately 51.4 million. Together with the optical performance of PENTAX 645 lenses, this produces unsurpassed resolution and smooth gradation representations and the three-dimensional feeling and atmosphere that will overwhelm the viewers.
Class-leading speed & response
The 645Z offers a fast frame rate of 3 fps, quick image processing to rapidly review images, and swift image transfer with a USB 3.0 computer connection.
Versatile Live View & tiltable LCD
The high-resolution, tiltable, air-gapless 3.2 inch LCD monitor with approx. 1,037,000 dots offers live view for convenient framing and reviewing of image lighting. Tilting LCD is convenient for waist-level or overhead shooting.
Safox 11 Autofocus Module
SAFOX 11 autofocus assures the sharpest focus. Maximizing 27 AF sensors and a vast light sensitivity range of –3EV to +18EV, the focus module includes 25 cross sensors and three AF sensors dedicated to low-light focusing.
Real-time scene analysis with 86,000 pixel sensor
The new Real-Time Scene Analysis System features an 86,000 pixel RGB light-metering sensor and improved algorithms that further enhance accuracy of exposure, white balance and autofocusing. Get a perfectly exposed image even in difficult lighting conditions.
Fully weather & coldproof design
A magnesium alloy body, die cast aluminum chassis, and 76 special seals make the 645Z fully weather and coldproof. Resist water, fog, snow, sand and dust, for top performance in extreme field conditions, or studio.
Dual SD card slots & optional flu-card
Studio and macro shooters will like the optional 16 GB flu-card. It lets you remotely change settings such as aperture, shutter speed and ISO, shift the AF focus point, release the camera shutter, check a live-view image, and browse and download images to any web browser enabled device.
Dual slot SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card support ensures fast and reliable storage for high resolution files, simultaneously saving in multiple formats, assigning images to different cards based on their original format, or easily holding one memory card in reserve.
