Pentax kr manual questions, about Pentax kr

It's been almost a year since the K-R hit the market, and in a year or two, I'm afraid that another entry-level body will replace the K-R (just like the K-R replaced the K-X). However, don't worry, you can definitely buy a DSLR at Pentax at this price.

There are several major improvements over the K-R. The first is the focusing system, which is faster to focus and can also display the red dot in focus; The display on the back of the machine has also been upgraded, and the display pixels are higher; The color body surface treatment is more difficult to slip on; At the same time, it supports either lithium battery and AA battery (that is, No. 5 battery, but it requires conditions) any kind of power supply.

Well, and the pink color I found very good when I looked at the real machine. In general, the K-R is one of the most cost-effective in the sales of the entry fuselage, which is mainly reflected in the workmanship. However, the focusing performance and pixels are not as good as those of the Canon and Nikon, but if you want to use it for fun and non-professional use, the K-R is worth getting.

If you want to follow the crowd and rub the lens with others, you can choose Canon 550D or Nikon D3100, after all, these two brands have a higher market share.

In addition, if you buy a set of cameras and don't plan to invest in lenses, it is actually a pity for the SLR system. Because one of the great advantages of the SLR system is that you can change the corresponding lens according to your own needs. So if you don't change the lens, you can consider Sony's upcoming single-electric (mirrorless) NEX-C3, which is more compact, and the folding screen is very practical, which is more suitable than K-R for home use.

Keep an eye out for it.

Correcting the opinion of the earthlings upstairs LJ:

1. The smallest SLR body is Olympus' 4 3 system SLR.

2. In recent years, the Pentax fuselage has been greatly improved compared with the previous machines in terms of focusing system and sensor high sensitivity and noise control (for example, K-7 to K-5 is a leap; K-X is also a leap forward over K-M). But to be honest, despite the improvement, there is still a distance from the Canon Nikon in terms of focusing speed, which means that it is not annoying to use on a daily basis.

3. Even if the Pentax fuselage is entry-level, the manual degree of freedom is higher than that of Canon Nikon, and you don't know what you don't know (can the entry-level of other brands be fine-tuned). And for the entry-level body, the biggest difference between brands is that there is a difference in most of the handling techniques. Now the entry-level fuselage of each brand is available, and it will not hinder the use of technology.

If you say that you have the pursuit of photography technology, you should learn photography, which has nothing to do with equipment.

The Pentax body is the smallest of the SLRs. It is suitable for ladies with small hands. The picture quality is gorgeous, and many people evaluate the taste of German lenses (I personally think this statement is exaggerated, but the picture quality is indeed very distinctive).

It doesn't matter if it's discontinued, there will be a replacement. Waiting is always a virtue. It seems that color customization is not available in China, but only in Japan.

KR should be an upgraded replacement for KX. But there has not been much technological progress in recent years. The difference is not much either.

Manual focus selection is very difficult to achieve in this machine (it seems that the evaluation parameters say that there are, but I don't know how to implement it, and there are very few buttons in the back). Therefore, it is not suitable for people who have a passion for photography (to use a car as an analogy, this is an automatic transmission). Pentax and I have always preferred the old K7.

It's not expensive now.

But students, I actually recommend buying second-hand.

Maybe it's fast, at present, KR has reduced the price a lot, 18-55 + 50-300 large double set of parallel goods **4700. It should be discontinued in about a year.

KR is equivalent to KX, and the performance improvement is still relatively large, mainly because of the focusing speed, high sensitivity and focusing red dot display, which has a more powerful LV function. If you want to buy early, there will be a slight price increase during the shutdown stage.

Pentax is not recommended, it's not that the camera is bad, but the domestic audience is small, and the after-sales service is not convenient, it is recommended to choose CN two, and Canon 60D with 18-55 lens is recommended, which is very cost-effective.

The simplest is p, just turn on the light when the light is low.

K7's focusing,For example, when there is only one LCD TV as a light source indoors,It can focus on the brighter places,Not on the dark places,And Nikon machines of the same level,Can focus on the dark part。 If there is a 30W fluorescent lamp as a light source indoors, then focusing is no problem, and focusing is also related to the lens, and it is easier to focus on a large aperture head than a small aperture head in low light.

Pentax's focus chasing is relatively bad,Not suitable for shooting sports,But when the light is good, it can still be on,High feeling800There is already obvious noise,Further up is not very usable,D90The noise control is about one stop better than K7。

The center point of D90 is stronger than K7, the peripheral point is slightly weaker than K7, A580 focus is slag, K7 focus is not fast, and the accuracy is not bad.

The D90 A580 is one grade lower than the K7 in terms of body grade, and there are not many Pentax cross focus points, and the K7 KX is all 11-point focus, 9 of which are cross focus points.

Ultrasound Pentax also has a lot of lens support. Including our own DA* and Sigma's 50, 85, 18-250, 50-150, etc.

The high sense of the KR K5 is much better.

It's not impossible for K7 to work. As long as it's not very dark and there is a light, there is no problem with focusing.

Pentax kr set to buy 18-55ii and 50-200dal set is now a cost-effective configuration, SLR standard configuration is mostly without a card, can only be another card, the machine itself is not with a hood, only with another 50-200 DA port is with a hood. The role of UV and lens hood is different, UV is to play the role of preventing dust and changing the light spectrum, while the lens hood is to weaken the light and prevent the light from being too strong. It depends on your specific requirements.

If it is enough for a novice, you don't bring the set, you have to buy it yourself, unless you accept the merchant's **!

The set generally does not come with a card, the lens UV lens and the lens hood are required, the use is different, the UV filters ultraviolet rays and protects the lens, and the lens hood blocks stray light. Generally, the lenses that come with the kit are low-end lenses and do not have a lens hood.

I don't think it's a big problem, because you're a novice, and many parts of the camera aren't set up properly, so take a good look at the manual and set it up to see if there is a similar situation. Complete.

Let's figure out the instructions before taking pictures.
