The K-3 III also gains touchscreen control of various functions.Īs you'd expect on a Pentax DSLR, the K-3 III features modes such as Pixel Shift Resolution and Anti-Aliasing Filter Simulation, to maximize image detail and avoid moiré, respectively. The pentaprism finder has a transparent display built into the optical path, which allows more information to be shown in the finder and allows a design which is 10% brighter than the existing model. The K-3 III's viewfinder is also new, and offers 1.05x magnification, the highest we've ever seen on an APS-C DSLR. Ricoh says the camera's continuous AF prediction algorithms have been revised and the K-3 III gains a subject recognition system that's been trained by machine learning to improve AF tracking performance. It offers 101 AF points, 25 of which are cross-type.
Meanwhile, there's a completely new SAFOX 13 AF module with wider frame coverage than the existing K-3 II. It gains a dedicated 'panning' mode in addition to the existing system that auto-detects panning, to ensure the camera doesn't try to fight against slow, intentional panning motion. The in-body stabilization system is now rated as offering 5.5EV of correction, the most yet for a K-mount camera. A new shutter mechanism allows it to shoot at up to 12 fps (11 with continuous autofocus), with less viewfinder blackout as the frames are being shot. The camera is built around A stabilized 25.7MP BSI-CMOS sensor and sees most of its critical components entirely reworked or replaced. Ricoh has officially unveiled the Pentax K-3 III, a 26MP APS-C DSLR with a host of significant updates over the previous K-3 II.
