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.

24.24MP APS-C CMOS Sensor and PRIME M-II Image Processor
- The processor and sensor combination offers 6 fps shooting rate for up to 40 consecutive JPEGs, 10 raw/DNG frames, or 8 raw+JPEG exposures,
- Record Full HD 1080p video,
- Sensitivity range is from ISO-100 up-to ISO-204800,
- 24.24MP APS-C CMOS sensor pairs with the PRIME MII image processor.
Full HD 1080p Video and 4K Interval Recording
- Full-HD 1920×1080 Video Recording is supported in multiple frame rates, including 60i, 50i, 30p, 25p, and 24p, in the high-quality H.264 format.
- Audio can be recorded along with video using the built-in stereo microphone or, additionally, a 3.5mm microphone terminal is available for use of an external mic.
- Beyond standard movie recording, an interval timer can also be used for making time-lapse sequences, which can be saved simply as stills or files can be recorded at 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) and compiled into a Motion JPEG file for seamless playback.
- Here is the interval timer, allowing you to record up to 2,000 consecutive frames with an interval of 2 seconds to 24 hours between each frame, and a 2 second to 24-hour time delay available.
