Pixel Shift Resolution System
▪ Conceptual illustrations of
Reproduction of true-to-life, super-high-resolution images beyond actual pixels Pixel Shift Resolution System
Reinforced with the SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism, the K-1’s Pixel Shift Resolution System* captures four 1st image
images of the same scene by shifting the image sensor by a single pixel for each image, then synthesizes them into Color data obtained
a single, super-high-resolution composite image. Compared to the conventional Bayer system, this innovative
system obtains all RGB color data in each pixel to deliver beautiful images with far more truthful colors and much
finer details, without any hint of false color. This system also reduces high-sensitivity noise to a minimum.

The PENTAX-original sensor-shift-type shake reduction mechanism
has been upgraded to provide optimum compensation for all lenses
used in handheld shooting. The new-generation SR II (Shake
Reduction II) features a five-axis mechanism to compensate for 4 3
camera shake caused by horizontal and vertical shift** (often
generated in macro photography) and camera shake caused by roll,
which is difficult to handle by lens-installed shake reduction
mechanisms, in addition to more common camera shake caused by
pitch and yaw. The SR II unit is controlled with great precision as
soon as the camera’s power is turned on, and provides a wide
