host of user-friendly features and sophisticated functions like
higher-class models. As a result, even digital camera beginners can
enjoy advanced digital SLR photography with great ease. Pursuing image

Major features
1. PENTAX-original SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism for sharp, blur-free images
The K200D is equipped with the PENTAX-developed SR (Shake Reduction)
mechanism, which effectively reduces camera shake for sharp, blur-free
images even under demanding shooting conditions, such as when using a
telephoto lens, shooting in the dark or at night without supplementary
flash illumination, or using extended exposures for sunset scenes.
This innovative mechanism shifts the position of the CCD image sensor
vertically and horizontally at high speed using magnetic force, while
adjusting the shifting speed in proportion to the amount of camera
shake detected by a built-in sensor. It offers an outstanding
compensation effect, equivalent to approximately 2.5 to 4 shutter-speed
steps. As a result, it does not require special anti-shake lenses, and
can be used with almost all existing PENTAX interchangeable lenses.*
* Lenses compatible with this mechanism are: the PENTAX K-, KA-, KAF-
and KAF2-mount lenses, screw-mount lenses (with an adapter); and 645-
and 67-system lenses (with an adapter). Some functions may not be
applicable with certain lenses.
2. High quality image
The K200D combines a large, high-performance 23.5mm x 15.7mm CCD image
sensor with the sophisticated PRIME (PENTAX Real Image Engine) as its
imaging engine. With its approximately 10.2 effective megapixels, the
K200D produces beautiful, fine-detailed images with subtle gradations
and texture descriptions. In addition, the K200D features Custom Image
function that helps to create its intended images by allowing the users
to select one of the six modes and adjusting the image’s finishing
touches to their presence.
3. Comprehensive Dust Removal system with prevention, removal and confirmation devices
