Exceptional image quality assured by digital SLR camera system
The PENTAX K-01 comes equipped with a newly developed CMOS image sensor measuring 23.7 millimeters by 15.7 millimeters. With approximately 16.28 effective megapixels this extra-large sensor assures high-speed readout of image data signals. The K-01 also features the new “PRIME M” imaging engine to assure first-rate movie recording performance in a digital interchangeable lens camera. It also offers an extra-wide sensitivity range -from ISO 100 to ISO 12800 or to ISO 25600 when expanded using a custom function- while minimizing annoying digital noise at all sensitivity levels.

Equipped with sensor shift shake reduction system
As all PENTAX SLR the K-01 is equipped with a sensor shift shake reduction system. This system moves the sensor in the opposite direction than the one of the camera so that the sensor remains in the same position during the shooting of the pictures.



This system is also really usefull while using the video mode.

And last but not least as built in the camera this system is working with all lenses without having to pay extra money for stabilized lense when buying a new one.

Compatible with all PENTAX lenses
Since the start of the K-mount PENTAX has produced more than 20 millions lenses. They are all compatible with the new K-01.

That a total range of 214 lenses compatible on which we have 21 digital lenses and 7 analog still produced. Thanks to this the K-01 is the mirrorless camera offering the widest lense range*.

This upgraded HDR mode can be instantly elected with a turn of the mode dial. The user can take advantage of newly added features to select one of three exposure increments as well as the level of effects while an automatic position adjustment function assures precise alignment of three images even when they are taken with a handheld K-01.
