Standing out for its enhanced and improved imaging capabilities, the Pentax K-1 Mark II is the successor to Pentax's original full-frame DSLR model, the K-1. With a 36.4MP CMOS sensor and PRIME IV image processor, the camera is capable of producing high-resolution images up to 4.4 fps and recording Full HD video. The 14-bit image processor has been upgraded with a Ricoh accelerator unit, which helps reduce noise while increasing sharpness and color fidelity. At the same time, it promotes a sensitivity range up to ISO 819200 for shooting in low-light conditions. Additionally, contributing to the improvement of image quality, the 5-axis Shake Reduction system reduces the appearance of camera shake for better handheld shooting. This image stabilization system activates Pixel Shift Resolution II, which utilizes sensor movement to capture consecutive frames and merge them to achieve greater color detail and resolution. Dynamic Pixel Shift Resolution benefits from this technology but allows you to achieve similar results when shooting handheld without the aid of a tripod.
