Lens CorrectionCompatible with many of Pentax’s most popular lenses, the Lens Correction function adjusts for distortion and chromatic aberrations—saving you time in Photoshop.
HD Video Capture
The K-7 can shoot 16:9 aspect-ratio HD videos at 1280x720p, plus 1536x1024 and 640x416 3:2 aspect-ratio video, all at 30 fps. You can select the aperture, use built-in shake reduction and record stereo sound via an optional external microphone. Video and still images can be played back on high-definition TVs via the K-7’s HDMI port.
In-Camera HDR Capture
Fans of high dynamic range imaging will love this feature, in which three bracketed exposures are automatically combined in-camera to maximize detail from shadows through highlights.
New 77-Segment Metering System
The K-7 introduces a new 77-segment metering system that improves speed and accuracy, especially in complex lighting.
