PENTAX 645D MEDIUM FORMAT BODY

40 MP Medium Format DSLR
44 x 33 mm CCD Sensor
In-body RAW-data Development
3.0-inch Wide-view LCD Monitor
Dual-slots for SD/SDHC Memory Cards
Medium-format imaging power:
Rich gradation, natural depth-of-field at open aperture
Crisp image definition at smaller apertures
Features a Low-Pass-Filter-free CCD unit, which can optimize the resolving power of the lens and the image sensor without compromising the overall image resolution
High-performance 14-bit A/D converter converts the analog signals output by the CCD image sensor to data-rich, multi-gradation digital signals (with a maximum of 16,384 gradations), which are then forwarded to the PRIME II imaging engine. Thanks to its high-speed data-processing capacity and algorithm, this high-performance imaging engine instantly processes as much as 40 megapixels of data to produce super-high-quality images, which are truly satisfying even to the most demanding photographers. This sophisticated imaging engine can even compensate lens aberrations for the photographer
PENTAX 645AF2 lens mount, designed to accept a vast selection of smc PENTAX 645-series interchangeable lenses--from wide angle to telephoto--all of which offer exceptional image descriptive power. With an FA 645-series lens mounted, the 645D retains autofocus operation. D FA 645 series is designed to minimize flare and ghost images, while retaining the superb descriptive power of conventional 645-series lenses, to produce sharp, bright images even at edges
Image processing:
Features eight distinctive finishing touches, each of which automatically adjusts saturation, hue, key, contrast, sharpness (fine sharpness selectable) and other parameters to preprogrammed levels. All parameters can be adjusted manually to the desired levels for the visual effects you want to achieve
Reversal Film finishing touch, which automatically enhances contrast to create striking images. By combining this mode with the dodging function of the PENTAX Digital Camera Utility software (included), you can easily produce images closely resembling those made with reversal film, and print them using your home printer
Distinctive Custom Image Modes:
Reversal Film: To reproduce high-saturation, extra-sharp images like those of reversal film
Landscape: To reproduce landscapes with brilliant, blue skies and vivid, refreshing greens
Natural (Default setting): No particular manipulation is made, for true-to-life images of any type of subject
Bright: To reproduce images with enhanced saturation, hue and contrast
Vibrant: To turn blue into indigo and red into vermilion
Portrait: To reproduce healthy, lively skin tones
Faint: To reproduct images with modest saturation while retaining primary colours
Monotone: To apply eye-catching visual effects using eight monochromatic filters
Develops RAW-data files within its body, but it can also store them as new JPEG files. You can even adjust or switch various image-processing modes and functions, including white-balance control and Custom Image modes, during development. Thanks to this user-friendly feature, you can swiftly and effortlessly process recorded images into high-level artistic works, then play them back or print them as necessary, without requiring a computer
Allows you to expand the dynamic range toward either the highlight (high-illumination) or shadow (low-illumination) side, helping you to efficiently minimize washed-out and pitch-black areas. Unlike the exposure compensation function, this function expands the reproducible gradation range itself
10 preset modes for white-balance control: Auto, Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Fluorescent light (with four variations), Incandescent light, Flash, CTE, Manual (with a white-balance reading measured from the image) and Color temperature (with direct input)
Offers a choice of RAW or JPEG data recording formats, or you can choose to simultaneously record the image in both formats. With one push of the RAW button, you can instantly switch the recording mode from one to the other. Since the 645D offers a pair of memory-card slots (SD1 and SD2) which can accept two SD and/or SDHC memory cards, you can even assign a different recording format or function to each slot using the direct button. For instant, one card can be used as the back-up of the other; recorded images can be assigned to different cards according to the recording format; or, using the Reserve mode, the second card can be programmed to automatically start accepting data when the first reaches its storage capacity
