An SLR combining traditional PENTAX quality and compatibility with the very latest digital technologies, it brings you the best of both photographic genres and takes your creativity to a whole new level. Enhanced creativity through cutting-edge technology Superior functions for SLR performance Clear, comprehensive imaging with 6. 1 effective megapixels and a large-format CCD. 11 selectable AF points, with highlighting for greater assistance With expansive 23.5 x 15.7mm dimensions, the CCD of the ist D achieves amazingly high definition, maximum gradations, and reduced interference with the power of 6.1 large, effective megapixels. What’s more, such performance is taken even further still with an image processing circuit specifically designed to enhance overall quality and increase response time for fast-disappearing opportunities. With an impressive 11 AF points covering a surprisingly wide area, the ist D combines high-precision focusing with step-ahead compositional freedom. Cross-type sensors ensure accurate readings for each and every point, while sets of points can be manually selected to suit your subject and highlighted in red in the viewfinder for greater assistance. Consecutive shots, multiple exposure, and so much more The ist D offers so much shooting versatility. Selection of high-speed consecutive shooting allows you to record up to 6* frames at approximately 2.6 frames per second. Multiple exposure allows you to take experimental shots for creative results. There’s also a self-timer, which offers a 12-second delay in normal use, a 2-second delay through use of the Custom Function, and even allows remote operation through use of an optional unit. * When the noise reduction function is switched off. Electronic preview for depth-of-field confirmation A handy preview lever exclusively developed for the istD allows you to check depth of focus prior to shooting. And because the lever is located conveniently close to the shutter, you’re free to shoot practically as soon as you achieve the depth you’re looking for. A superior, specially designed glass pentaprism viewfinder Comparison of image dimensions 23. 5 x 15. 7mm(6.1 effective megapixels) 16-segment multi-pattern metering Advanced 16-segment multi-pattern metering lets you take satisfying shots in even the most complex lighting situations. The ist D also offers a choice of centerweighted or spot metering, allowing you to give the main subject more impact or capture all elements with balanced exposure. Conventional 35mm camera 36 x 24mm A key advantage of conventional SLR photography is the avoidance of parallax error via through-the-lens viewing. The ist D, however, confers the same exact advantage. Replacing the viewfinders found in film cameras, it features a glass pentaprism viewfinder specifically designed to match the size of its CCD and offers 0.95X magnification and an impressive 95% field of view. Conventional compact digital camera 7.2 x 5.4mm (5 effective megapixels) Work with quality you know you can trust *All PENTAX FAJ lenses and lenses featuring an “A” position are compatible with the ist D. The exclusive ist D lens lineup At PENTAX, we’ve already begun development of the smc PENTAX DA series of portable, compact, interchangeable lenses. Indeed the first of the series — the smc PENTAX DA 16–45mm F4ED AL*(equivalent to 23.54 – 69mm in 35mm format) — is scheduled to reach the market in the very near future. *Tentative name Note: Focal length equivalence in 35mm format can be determined by multiplying that of a lens mounted on the ist D by 1.5. A choice of auto, preset, and manual settings for white balance With the convenience of automatic white balance, the ist D assures pleasing color recording across a range of different lighting circumstances. What’s more, it also offers the ability to preset 8 types of light source, and manual settings are also available — allowing you to select the desired color temperature values for each situation or memorize the color temperature values of the conditions at hand. A selection of image formats; a choice of sizes Because digital photographers make different uses of their shots, the istD offers a choice of image recording qualities and sizes. In addition to three different JPEG modes, it also offers the choice of non-compressed TIFF format — all of which are available in small, medium, and large sizes. There’s even the option of RAW format too, which records all the information available from the CCD. Recording format Good JPEG Better Expressive histogram display With histogram display of color saturation distribution on the LCD monitor, the istD gives you the necessary exposure level information to evaluate each shot and make adjustments where necessary. 22 custom functions that enhance your individuality At PENTAX, we know photography is all about individuality. That’s why we made operation customizable — allowing you to tailor an impressive 22 functions to suit your specific tastes, ranging from the program line to the steps involved in exposure selection. Best TIFF(Non compressed) RAW(Non compressed) Built-in and external flash functionality Hyper program mode offers auto exposure and manual control Hyper program mode combines the ease of auto exposure with the versatility of manual control. Beginning with program auto exposure, it automatically puts you in Shutter-Priority AE should you turn the Tv dial located at the front, or in Aperture-Priority AE if you adjust the Av dial at the back. Whichever you choose, the ist D responds with satisfying speed, and should you wish to return to the original auto exposure settings, all you have to do is push the green button. The ist D comes complete with a built-in flash that broadens the scope of shooting. Featuring P-TTL functionality, it pre-discharges to achieve greater precision and offers a separate pre-discharge for “redeye” reduction.* There’s also a range of advanced features that become available when the built-in flash is used in combination with the AF360FGZ external auto flash unit. These comprise quantitative control in relation to built-in flash discharge, wireless operation, trailing shutter sync, and high-speed sync. 256MB 512MB 1GB 3008 x 2008 346 701 1412 2832 Middle 2400 x 1600 163 335 676 1350 Small 1536 x 1024 106 222 452 908 Large 3008 x 2008 196 401 812 1636 Middle 2400 x 1600 80 172 354 716 Small 1536 x 1024 50 111 232 473 Large 3008 x 2008 106 222 452 908 Middle 2400 x 1600 38 87 185 382 Small 1536 x 1024 25 57 119 243 Large 3008 x 2008 26 52 104 209 Middle 2400 x 1600 10 21 43 87 Small 1536 x 1024 6 14 27 55 Large 3008 x 2008 7 16 34 70 Note: A choice of 1,152 x 768-pixel or 960 x 640-pixel recording is available for “small” size when using the Custom Function. Your selection will determine the total number of recordable images. Exclusive software*2 for RAW data PENTAX PHOTO Laboratory is included on the ist D’s accompanying CD-ROM. This useful software makes RAW data exceptionally easy to process and gives you the freedom not only to specify image format and size, but also to fine tune white balance, color tone, contrast, color saturation, sharpness, and color balance. * This feature does not eliminate “red eyes” in all instances. Hyper Manual for greater control over manual exposure Stainless steel chassis for increased rigidity, minimal weight, and compact dimensions Hyper Manual mode assesses the optimum exposure settings for your subject. You can then shoot with totally automatic exposure, or press the AE lock button to maintain that exact exposure automatically while adjusting aperture or shutter speed as you please. Just a press of the green button is all it takes to return you to the default exposure settings. Employing a chassis that’s only 1-1.2mm thick, the istD has a truly lightweight design. Yet, thanks to the use of low-temperature pressurized stainless steel reinforced through reheating, it retains admirable torsional rigidity. Additionally the space within the chassis has been used in the most efficient manner possible, allowing ultracompact dimensions to be achieved without a sacrifice in functionality. The accuracy of digital auto bracketing Exposure really can be a matter of personal taste. For this reason, the ist D offers auto bracketing. Allowing you to take three shots of the same subject across a preset range of exposures, it gives you the freedom to select the one you like best. Exclusive PENTAX PHOTO Browser software*1 The ist D can be easily connected to a PC via the USB cable included. The camera is also bundled with PENTAX PHOTO Browser, which can be found on the PENTAX Software S-SW10 CD-ROM. Used together, these allow images to be transferred for greater viewing ease. A choice of power sources With the istD, you have the freedom to choose the source of power. Just select whichever you find most convenient from the two included CR-V3 lithium batteries, four AA batteries, or an optional AC adapter. AA Ni-MH batteries can also be used, which can be conveniently recharged. A versatile grip that extends shooting life The D-BG1 grip enhances versatility and extends operation. Easily attached to the ist D without removing the camera’s batteries, its ergonomic design gives you a better grip. It also houses four AA batteries that supply additional power and features a shutter release, Av/Tv dials, a preview button, and an AE lock — all ideally located for vertical compositions. Crystal clear display The istD is equipped with a 1.8-inch, low-temperature, polysilicon TFT LCD monitor. Featuring approximately 1.18 million pixels, it allows you to check closely for focusing with confidence. It makes recorded images easy to see in all kinds of circumstances, and offers display functions including 1 frame, 9-frame multiple, zooming to 12X, slide show, and image rotation. Approx. no. of recordable frames 128MB Large Three-step control over sharpness, contrast, and intensity In order to produce images that emphasize clarity, differences in shade, and general saturation, the ist D gives you the ability to alter sharpness, contrast, and color intensity in three steps. Such functionality gives you a surprising amount of leeway in creating shots that really satisfy. Image size (pixels) Quality that extends from composition through to playback The advantage of PENTAX lens compatibility Your choice of lens is every bit as important as it is with conventional photography. That’s why the istD has been designed for compatibility with existing PENTAX 35mm lenses*. This allows you to achieve winning shots with anything from a wide-angle lens to a supertelephoto and imparts a sense of confidence that comes from working with quality you can trust. The istD is also compatible with highperformance FA lens es , allowing you to make use of the same range of precision autofocus features that have made them so popular in conventional SLR photography. And what’s more, the ist D can even be used with our topof-the-line FA lenses too. An impressive array of digital shooting modes * 1,*2 System requirements PCs running Windows Me/2000/XP (home and professional editions) with a Pentium III CPU or higher, over 70MB of available hard disk capacity, and a standard USB port.

The accuracy of digital auto bracketing Exposure really can be a matter of personal taste. For this reason, the ist D offers auto bracketing. Allowing you to take three shots of the same subject across a preset range of exposures, it gives you the freedom to select the one you like best. Exclusive PENTAX PHOTO Browser software*1 The ist D can be easily connected to a PC via the USB cable included. The camera is also bundled with PENTAX PHOTO Browser, which can be found on the PENTAX Software S-SW10 CD-ROM. Used together, these allow images to be transferred for greater viewing ease. A choice of power sources With the istD, you have the freedom to choose the source of power. Just select whichever you find most convenient from the two included CR-V3 lithium batteries, four AA batteries, or an optional AC adapter. AA Ni-MH batteries can also be used, which can be conveniently recharged. A versatile grip that extends shooting life The D-BG1 grip enhances versatility and extends operation. Easily attached to the ist D without removing the camera’s batteries, its ergonomic design gives you a better grip. It also houses four AA batteries that supply additional power and features a shutter release, Av/Tv dials, a preview button, and an AE lock — all ideally located for vertical compositions. Crystal clear display The istD is equipped with a 1.8-inch, low-temperature, polysilicon TFT LCD monitor. Featuring approximately 1.18 million pixels, it allows you to check closely for focusing with confidence. It makes recorded images easy to see in all kinds of circumstances, and offers display functions including 1 frame, 9-frame multiple, zooming to 12X, slide show, and image rotation. Approx. no. of recordable frames 128MB Large Three-step control over sharpness, contrast, and intensity In order to produce images that emphasize clarity, differences in shade, and general saturation, the ist D gives you the ability to alter sharpness, contrast, and color intensity in three steps. Such functionality gives you a surprising amount of leeway in creating shots that really satisfy. Image size (pixels) Quality that extends from composition through to playback The advantage of PENTAX lens compatibility Your choice of lens is every bit as important as it is with conventional photography. That’s why the istD has been designed for compatibility with existing PENTAX 35mm lenses*. This allows you to achieve winning shots with anything from a wide-angle lens to a supertelephoto and imparts a sense of confidence that comes from working with quality you can trust. The istD is also compatible with highperformance FA lens es , allowing you to make use of the same range of precision autofocus features that have made them so popular in conventional SLR photography. And what’s more, the ist D can even be used with our topof-the-line FA lenses too.
