Dust Removal System for Spotless Images
The K100D Super features the Pentax original Dust Removal (DR) system to avoid dust from sticking to the top low pass filter when in front of CCD image sensor. By a vapor deposition process, a fluorine compound is carried out on the surface of the low pass filter. This Pentax original Super Protect (SP) coating effectively prevents dust and stains from choosing the surface. Any remaining surface dust falls off should the SR system shifts the CCD at high speed broadband.

True to Life, Rich Gradation Images Assured by 6.1 Effective Megapixels
The K100D incorporates a large, high performance 23.5mm x 15.7mm CCD. By combining 6.1 effective megapixels which has a high performance imaging engine and advanced image processing technologies, the K100D Super was made to produce beautiful, true to life images that are rich in color gradation. The K100D Super gives a range of two finishing touches of "Natural" or "Bright" to establish a distinctive atmosphere.

Compatibility with High Quality, High Capacity SDHC Memory Card
