2.4 Shake Reduction (SR) System

The Pentax-developed Shake Reduction (SR) system minimizes camera shake by oscillating the CCD image sensor. This system works with a wide range of Pentax lenses, providing a 2.5 to 4 stop advantage for sharper images in challenging conditions.

2.5 Sériové snímání

The K10D offers continuous shooting at approximately three images per second. In JPEG format, you can shoot until the memory card is full. In RAW mode, up to 12 images can be captured in a burst.

2.6 Exposure Metering

Choose from three metering modes:

• 16-segment Multi-pattern Metering: For general photography.
• Center-weighted Metering: Emphasizes the central area of the frame.
• Bodové měření: Measures a small area around the center for precise exposure control.

2.7 Image Recording

Images can be recorded in JPEG or RAW format. The camera also supports simultaneous recording of RAW and JPEG images.

3. Údržba

3.1 Dust Removal (DR) System

The K10D features a Dust Removal (DR) system to keep the CCD sensor clean. This system uses a Special Protect (SP) coating on the CCD surface and a shift mechanism to shake off dust. Dust is collected on an adhesive sheet at the bottom of the SR unit.

3.2 Weather-Resistant Construction

The camera body is designed with 72 special seals to provide dust-proof and weather-resistant protection. While this allows for shooting in light rain or dusty environments, avoid submerging the camera in water.

3.3 Obecné čištění

• K čištění těla fotoaparátu použijte měkký hadřík, který nepouští vlákna.
• For the lens, use a lens brush or blower to remove dust, then a lens cleaning solution and cloth.
• Avoid touching the sensor directly. If sensor cleaning is required beyond the DR system, consult a professional service center.

4. Řešení problémů

4.1 Běžné problémy a řešení

• Fotoaparát se nezapne:
  • Ujistěte se, že je baterie plně nabitá a správně vložená.
  • Zkontrolujte, zda je kryt přihrádky na baterie bezpečně uzavřen.
• Obrázky jsou rozmazané:
  • Verify that Shake Reduction (SR) is enabled in appropriate conditions.
  • Check focus settings (AF.S, AF.C) and ensure the subject is in focus.
  • Use a faster shutter speed, especially in low light or with moving subjects.
• Na snímcích se objevují skvrny od prachu:
  • Activate the Dust Removal (DR) system through the camera menu.
  • If spots persist, professional sensor cleaning may be required.
• Autofocus is slow or inaccurate in low light:
  • Use a lens with a wider aperture (lower f-number).
  • Utilize the AF assist lamp if available and appropriate for the shooting situation.
• Hot/Dead Pixels:
  • Occasionally, a hot or dead pixel may appear. If persistent or numerous, contact Pentax service for a sensor mapping or cleaning.
