Pentax K-70 APS-C DSLR CAMERA

   The Pentax K-70 has a durable construction and is a DSLR CAMERA with multimedia capabilities developed specially for a low-light-level shooting.

   Used inside 24.24M Pixels APS-C CMOS Sensor and PRIME MII image processor, this camera has the possibility of continuous stills shooting up to 6 fps and Full HD 1080p recording.

   It also has a sensitivity range up to ISO 204800. 

   Complementing the imaging capabilities, the K-70 is equally refined in regards to handling and design and features a dust, freeze, and weather-resistant construction for working in trying conditions.

   A 3.0″ large – 0.921M dots  LCD is available and features a variable angle design to permit working from high and low angles and a unique “Night – Vision” setting can be used to produce a red-colored display for night-adjusted vision when working in dark conditions.

   In addition, the built-in Wi-Fi service ensures a wireless image sharing and remote camera control from a mobile device.

   The K-70 also has an option to use O-GPS1 GPS Module for geotagging and AstroTracer functions.
