Product Details Batteries Included 1 Brand Pentax EAN 0027075035256 Has Red Eye Reduction 1 Manufacturer Pentax Model 6725 UPC 027075035256 Features Versatile auto-bracketing system Upgraded SAFOX II (sensor ability fortifying optical compensation system) sensor unit Illuminated multidata LCD viewfinder display and external information panel Predischarge mechanism to help reduce red-eye effect Lens not included Product Description The heart of the Pentax PZ-1p camera body is its upgraded SAFOX II (sensor ability fortifying optical compensation system) sensor unit. By upgrading the focus system, Pentax guarantees accurately focused images, even under extremely poor lighting conditions. If your subject is on the move, the high-speed predictive AF mode can calculate the position of a fast-moving subject at shutter release. As a result, a subject on the move is always captured in sharp focus. To further optimize the focusing accuracy of this camera, it also comes equipped with an AF spot-beam projector. When combined with SMC Pentax FA power zoom lenses, the PZ-1p offers three-speed, one-touch power zooming which assures speedy, accurate framing with easy control of the zoom ring. With a wide, 38mm angle of view, the built-in retractable TTL autoflash is equipped with a predischarge mechanism that helps reduce the red-eye effect in your images. The flash has easy-to-use slow-shutter-speed sync and daylight sync capabilities, as well as a trailing-shutter-curtain sync mode that depicts a more natural image of the illuminated subject if it's on the move. You also have the option of using the discharge compensation function to create the flash effect you want, simply by controlling the amount of light illuminating the subject. Since the metering system is an important part of the exposure system, you have the option of spot metering, center-weighted metering, or the sophisticated eight-segment multipattern metering; the choice of metering type can be changed depending on your preference. When this system works with the advanced exposure compensation (allowing +4 EV in 1/3 or 1/2 stop increments) and autobracketing functions, the PZ-1p allows you to capture your subjects however you want them, even under many different lighting conditions. The PZ-1p's autobracketing system is extremely versatile; it automatically takes three different exposures in succession in the order of normal, under, and overexposed. This feature can be used in both the autoexposure modes and the hyper-manual mode, giving you even more chances for creative expression. When combined with an exposure compensation mechanism, you can also take the three exposures in the overexposure or underexposure side. The multidata LCD viewfinder display is illuminated so you can check your camera's settings day and night. A few of the functions you can verify are: shutter speed, low-illumination warning, exposure compensation, metering system (multipattern, spot, center-weighted), and panorama mode. The external information panel is also illuminated for easy referencing and gives you information on: exposure mode, film loading, film advance/rewind, loading error warning, shutter speed, low-battery warning, exposure frame number, and the self-timer, to name a few.

I own this model as well as the ZX-m. I concur with the other reviewers this camera is excellent. Much better than the MZ-S and other brands dollar for dollar. It's a shame it has been discontinued Rating - The BEST professional SLR for the money I have several cameras by several manufacturers and I can honestly say that my Pentax cameras are the best performers. Not only is the PZ-1p almost error-proof, but it is easy to handle and uses all the K-mount Pentax lenses AF and Manual!!! (Try getting that kind of lens mount flexibility from another brand like Nikon or Minolta ... forget it.) The only way the PZ-1p could be made better is if it came with the gripstrap FDP accessory standard. The camera by itself is a little small in ... Read More Rating - Best price/performance ratio SLR Sadly Pentax discontinued this model in favour of their new flagship MZ-S. Let me tell you they're different cameras. While the MZ-S is a fully pro- oriented body, PZ-1p is an outstanding all-around gear. It has many features only found in great great Canon or Nikon models, obviously much higher priced. Examples of this is its 4 fps drive motor, 1/8000 top shutter speed, or 1/250 flash sync, and interchangeable focusing screens. Another great feature is the so-called Hyper Program mode, that allows the ... Read More See More Pentax products
