645D Features

• The PENTAX 645D incorporates a high-performance 40 effective megapixel CCD image sensor, measuring 44mm by 33mm. It assures a wide dynamic range to faithfully reproduce the prevailing ambience and the sense of depth in super-high-resolution images that are rich in gradation and truthful in texture description.
• Thanks to its high-speed data-processing capacity and new algorithm exclusively programmed for medium-format digital SLR cameras, the PENTAX-original PRIME (PENTAX Real Image Engine) II imaging engine produces super-high-quality images rich in gradation and faithful in colour reproduction, while allowing speedy data transmission of large-volume image data.
• The high-performance 14-bit A/D converter faithfully converts the large volume of analog image data output by the large CCD image sensor to digital signals carrying an extensive amount of image data, including resolution and gradation.
• The sophisticated wide-frame SAFOX IX+ autofocus system with 11 sensor points (with nine cross-type sensors positioned in the middle) assures the extra-high-precision focusing demanded of medium-format digital SLR cameras.
• 77-segment multi-pattern metering system assures super-high-accuracy light metering. The exposure accuracy is further enhanced by the collection of additional data such as image orientation (horizontal or vertical) and the distance to and magnification of the subject using the sensors installed inside the camera body, with the obtained data incorporated into exposure calculations.
• Versatile, multi-mode exposure system for faithful reproduction of creative intentions
  1. Hyper Program function
     The PENTAX 645D’s Hyper Program function allows the photographer to instantly switch from Programmed AE mode to Shutter- or Aperture-Priority AE mode with a simple turn of the electric dials positioned around the grip.
  2. Hyper Manual function
     When shooting in the Metered Manual mode, the PENTAX 645D’s Hyper Manual mode lets you instantly set the proper exposure for the subject with a single push of the green button.
  3. Sensitivity-Priority mode
     The unique Sensitivity-Priority (Sv) mode automatically selects the optimum combination of aperture and shutter speed for the user-selected sensitivity. The sensitivity can be shifted swiftly by electronic dial on the back panel.
  4. Shutter/Aperture-Priority mode
     Taking full advantage of the unique capability of digital cameras for the automatic shifting of sensitivity at any time, the Shutter/Aperture-Priority (TAv) mode automatically selects the most appropriate sensitivity for the user-selected aperture/shutter-speed combination.
• The PENTAX 645D’s main frame is made of strong but lightweight magnesium-steel alloy. The chassis is made of diecast aluminum to minimize the expansion and extension caused by heat as well as to optimize kinematic accuracy and thermal stability. The LCD panels are covered with tempered glass plates for added protection. Thanks to the inclusion of 70 special seals in the body, it also boasts a dustproof, weather-resistant and cold-resistant construction, assuring reliable operation, even in harsh environments and at temperatures as low as -10°C.
• Dual slot SD/SDHC memory card support ensures fast and reliable storage for high resolution image files, simultaneously saving in multiple formats, assigning images to different cards based on their original format, or easily holding one memory card in reserve. The settings for each memory card slot can be easily made by dedicated button.
• All-glass, trapezoid pentaprism viewfinder with interchangeable focusing screens offers a 98% field of view viewing angle for accurate framing applications.
• Large, 3 inch LCD screen, with anti-reflective coating and reinforced glass surface, features 921,000 dots of resolution, wide angle viewing, and 32X image review magnification for easy on-camera image proofing.
• Custom Image function allows you to easily control an image’s finishing touches to more precisely reflect their creative intentions, or to more faithfully reproduce the ambience of the scene.
• An in-camera HDR image capture function blends 3 consecutive frames of varying exposures into a single, perfectly blended image, maximizing detail within all tonal ranges.
• Versatile white-balance control system, including the CTE mode designed to emphasize the dominant colour components of the captured images, which works especially well with such scenes as sunset.
• Lens Correction function automatically compensates for lateral chromatic aberration, as well as barrel and spool distortion common to wide angle lens photography, with select PENTAX 645 lenses.
• A Digital Level function displays the vertical and horizontal inclination of the camera, ensuring captured photos remain level to the horizon.
• Powered by a large-capacity, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which can capture approximately 800 images* when fully charged.
  *Under testing conditions prescribed by PENTAX, when using a rechargeable D-LI90 lithium-ion battery with no flash.
