The world’s smallest SLR camera

Photography enthusiasts are definitely no strangers to SLR cameras. SLR cameras in my impression are all big, heavy and difficult to carry. But do you know what the world’s smallest SLR is? It has simply benefited a bunch of photography enthusiasts. Let me take you to see it below.

The world’s smallest SLR camera

The annual CP+2015 (the world premiere exhibition of cameras and images) was held in Japan from February 12 to 15, 2015 It was held at the PACIFICO Yokohama Convention and Exhibition Center in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture. As Asia's top imaging exhibition, CP+ brings together the world's top imaging equipment and peripheral industries such as printing, output, image processing equipment, and software. On the first day of the launch, we came to the Pentax booth to have a hands-on trial experience of the Pentax K-S2, which was just released two days ago.

The newly launched Pentax K-S2 a few days ago is claimed to be the world’s smallest dust-proof and splash-proof digital SLR camera. The camera is equipped with a 20.12-megapixel sensor without a low-pass filter and a PRIME MII image The processor has the same analog low-pass filter function as the K-3, and the sensitivity range is ISO 100-51200. The continuous shooting speed is 5.5fps, and the shutter speed range is 30-1/6000s. Compared with K-S1, K-S2 mainly upgrades the focusing system to SAFOX X, which has 11 focus points and can work normally in -3EV environment. The viewfinder has a field of view of 100% and 77-zone metering.

In terms of appearance, the overall style of the Pentax K-S2 is more rounded than the K-S1. The button layout on the back is also more professional, and it is equipped with a 921,000-pixel flippable LCD screen for viewing. The field of view of the device is about 100%, and the magnification is about 0.95 times.

Pentax K-S2 adopts a drip-proof and dust-proof structure on a small and portable body. The handle is covered with leather and sealed. It can be used with confidence even in rainy days or dusty places. In addition, , K-S2 is Pentax’s first digital SLR camera equipped with Wi-Fi and NFC near-field communication functions. The newly developed dedicated software? Image Sync? In addition to real-time display and shooting of photos on the smartphone, aperture, shutter speed , ISO sensitivity, etc. can also be adjusted freely.

Pentax K-S2 uses the latest CMOS sensor to achieve ultra-high image quality with approximately 20.12 million effective pixels. It also adopts a low-pass filter-free design to maximize the image quality of the sensor. of resolution. In addition, when used in combination with the high-speed image processing engine PRIME MII, noise at each ISO sensitivity can be effectively suppressed, and images with excellent clarity and superior texture can be obtained even when shooting at ultra-high sensitivity of ISO 51200. .

Pentax has newly developed a standard zoom lens PENTAX-DA L 18-50mm F4-5.6 DC WR RE for the K-S2 that pursues compactness, dustproof, and waterproof construction. It is equipped as a kit lens for outdoor use. It is more portable and can be used in many occasions.

K-S2 is Pentax’s first SLR equipped with Wi-Fi/NFC and a 921,000-pixel flip screen function, which greatly increases the playability and applicable occasions of the entire camera. Other functions include full HD Video, as well as interval shooting to synthesize 4K animation, etc.

Introduction to SLR cameras

Single Lens Reflex Camera (Single Lens Reflex Camera, abbreviated as SLR camera) is also called SLR camera. It refers to a camera that uses a single lens and uses the reflection of this lens to capture the view. The so-called "single lens" means that the photographic exposure light path and the viewing light path use one lens. It is not like a rangefinder camera or a twin-lens reflex camera that has an independent lens for the viewing light path. ?Reflective? refers to a flat reflector in the camera that separates the two light paths: the reflector falls down when viewing the view, reflecting the light from the lens to the pentaprism and then to the viewfinder window; the reflector quickly lifts up when shooting, so that the light can shine on the film Or on the photosensitive element CMOS or CCD.
