User manual PENTAX UCF WR 16X24

[. . . ] A success story that has continued until today. in 1971 the PENTAX ES introduced the first SLR with TTL auto exposure. The same year witnessed another milestone: the acclaimed SMc coating process for lenses that reduce light losses in lenses to a minimum. And in 1975 the PENTAX KDMD ­ a genuine classic ­ pioneered the K-mount bayonet system for interchangeable lenses. [. . . ] With continuous autofocus the focus is continually being adjusted, even if you move the camera. With certain lenses it is possible to manually tweak the focus after the autofocus system has selected its reference point ­ or, should you prefer more direct control, you can always focus manually. however, one thing is certain, whether auto or manual focussing, you can always rely on the accuracy of the 9 cross and vertical sensors. SENSITIVITY IS EVERYTHING: THE ISO RANGE. The UCF WR 16X24 has a wide range of sensitivity, operating between iSO 100 and iSO 1600. Naturally, you can select the ISO value manually ­ even selecting intermediate values. What's more, in automatic operation you can determine the iSO range in which you want to work, and the camera selects the optimal ISO value depending on the specifics of each shot. With the new Sv Automatic mode the sensitivity can be changed at will simply by turning the selector wheel ­ even with the camera at eye level while you're concentrating on the composition.

The processing of images begins in the camera. During the basic set-up the photographer can set his or her personal preference on how they want their the pictures to appear: do they prefer the images to be neutral in colour rendition, or would they prefer something a bit more elaborate and colourful. The user can also store their preferred parameters for sharpening, contrast and colour saturation. These settings can be different for Program mode control and the User Program. Something entirely new is the RAW converter in the camera. Photos that were taken in RAW can be directly converted to JPEG files in camera, as they are stored. The following parameters can be selected and adjusted for conversion: - Resolution - compression - White balance 6 MEgAPiXEl - Sensitivity - colour intensity - Saturation - Sharpness - contrast DREAMS OR REAliTY: cOlOUR FilTERS.
