Extremely durable SLR camera
Pentax offers something more in its DSLRs than we're familiar with from other brands, and that's significantly more durable workmanship. Quality materials are a given, but a range of seals have been added to allow the K1 Mark II to operate without problems where other DSLRs would be minimally risky. You can shoot with it in dusty environments with ease. It doesn't mind rain, humidity or splashing water. Last but not least, it works reliably down to temperatures as low as -10 °C. Totaling 87 sealed parts, its durability is further enhanced by the use of the D-BG6 battery grip and AW (all weather) or WR (water resistance) lenses, making it an excellent device for the field, on the road, and in severely difficult conditions. For example, for nighttime photography, it features the option to switch to a red backlight display, which saves your eyesight and allows you to fully focus on the environment around you.
Pentax K1 Mark II with hardware for the discerning
At the heart of the camera is a full-frame CMOS sensor without an AA (anti-aliasing) filter with a resolution of 36 MPx, promising higher resolution and exceptional image quality. Fast and reliable operation is ensured by the proven Prime IV processor, which gives the camera a continuous burst shooting speed of up to 4.4 fps in a continuous burst of 70 JPEG or 17 RAW images. Thanks to the new Acceleration Unit, the ISO setting range has been increased to 819,200, allowing you to take action that would be highly risky on other machines at the very least. Modified 5-axis SR II stabilisation compensates for shake in both vertical and horizontal directions. The compensation range is up to 5 shutter speed steps, which expands the possibilities for handheld exposure, and the qualities of this system can also be seen, for example, in panoramic shooting.
Snapshots (Open Gate) ensure maximum flexibility
An interesting and unusual bonus that sets Pentax apart again is the auxiliary working LEDs. There are four of them, located at the bayonet, behind the display, in the memory card slot and in the remote self-timer connector. The best use of this function is, of course, at night, when all the manipulation with the camera is greatly simplified. The K1 II features a large 3.2" TFT LCD display with adjustable brightness and, most importantly, a maximally flexible flip-up design. This makes it easy to adjust the live view to the ideal angle from virtually any position. Should the brightness of the display be obscured by direct daylight, there is a prismatic viewfinder that boasts 100% preview. You'll also appreciate the dual SD memory card slot. You can choose burst storage, where the camera automatically starts saving to the second card when the first card is full. The second option is to duplicate the data for backup, and the third option is to store separately according to RAW and JPEG formats, each on one card. Copying between cards is also possible.
Do you like taking pictures of stars and the Milky Way?
The Pentax K1 Mark II has a sophisticated advanced function selection wheel. After a quick setup, you can immediately move on to the second one - correction and further adjusts the selected function in detail. So always rely on the very user-friendly setting options. The camera allows for user customization of the buttons and offers up to 5 user modes. In addition to WiFi and GPS module, the camera is equipped with an electronic compass. The combination of GPS, compass and SR II provides a better capability to image the night sky and celestial objects. K1 II can calculate the motion of objects in the sky with high accuracy based on position data and other factors, improving long shutter speed photos. The mode is called Astrotracer and allows you to image even stars that are very hard to see with the eye.
Clear pentaprism viewfinder
The Pentax K-1 Mark II viewfinder offers 100% coverage, 0.70× magnification and a pleasing eye relief for comfortable image composition. It displays a complete information overlay, including AF points, electronic spirit level or grid, making composition easier even at more complex angles.
Precise white balance and fast autofocus
Auto and manual white balance is supported by image sensor and light source detection with fine-tuning in ±7 steps. Autofocus uses the SAFOX 12 system with 33 points, 25 of which are cross-type,with point selection and AF modes. S and AF. C, which ensures accurate and fast focusing even in low light.
Professional video features for creative creation
The Pentax K-1 Mark II enables high quality video recording with support for Full HD and HD formats with various frame rates (60i/50i/30p/30p/25p/24p) and MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression, thus providing ample flexibility for creative processing of records. There is a built-in stereo microphone with the option to connect an external microphone for clear sound, and the recording level can be adjusted to suit the conditions. The camera also offers advanced features such as time-lapse recording in 4K resolution and star tracking, which will be used by enthusiastic astrophotographers and short filmmakers alike. With various user image profiles, cross processing and digital filters, creators can instantly apply creative effects directly during the shoot, greatly simplifying the work without the need for complex post-production.
Convenient viewing and advanced image editing right in the camera

You can view single images or view multiple photos simultaneously in different layouts (6, 12, 20, 35, 80 views), with the ability to quickly zoom up to 16x to check details. There is also a histogram display, overflow alerts, the ability to rotate images or display GPS data that the camera stores when using the built-in GPS unit. With rich deletion options, from single images to entire folders, it's easy to manage content in the field. Advanced digital filters, like retro effects, extract paints, miniatures or softening filters, allow you to instantly edit photos directly in the camera, while the RAW developing function provides the ability to fine-tune images without the need for a computer, which will be appreciated by photographers on the road and on longer expeditions.
