ThePentax Q is amirrorless interchangeable-lens camera introduced byPentax on June 23, 2011.
Introduced as "The world's smallest interchangeable lens system camera..."[1] ThePentax Q system is composed of four bodies (Q,Q10,Q7,Q-S1) and eight lenses: the 01 prime normal, the 02 wide-tele zoom, 03 fish-eye, the 04 "toy" wide angle, the 05 "toy" telephoto, the 06 telephoto zoom, the 07 "mount shield" lens, and the 08 ultra-wide zoom. The zooms and prime normal lenses have leaf shutters (with built-in neutral density filters) and sync with flash up to 1/2000 of a second. The other lenses use the camera's electronic shutter. The 09 macro lens was prototyped but never released. ModernPentax K mount lenses can be used on the Q with an adapter that has a mechanical shutter. Other adapted lenses use the electronic shutter.
The camera's small sensor size (1/2.3 inches) means that the Q has acrop factor of 5.6× (compared to full-frame 35mm cameras), as well as a shortflange focal distance (FFD). With the 5.6× crop factor, a 100mm macro lens (for example) results in a 35mm equivalent field of view (FOV) of a 560mm telephoto. An additional implication of the 5.6× crop factor and associated optics is thatdepth of field (DOF) is increased proportionally for a given aperture setting (in comparison to the 35mm equivalent DOF at the same aperture). This means that in some applications the small Pentax Q sensor offers an advantage over larger formats. This also allows the Pentax Q lenses to be proportionally smaller than lenses designed for larger formats.
The short FFD of the Pentax Q enables it to accept manual focus lenses from many manufacturers (via adapters) including Nikon F, Leica M and 39M, Olympus OM, Canon FD, Minolta, M42 screw mount, C-Mount, D-Mount, M12 mount, Pentax K, andPentax Auto 110.[2]
The Pentax Q has a wide range of digital effects and controls includinghigh dynamic range (HDR), multiple scene modes, and abokeh function which, when activated, can enable a pseudoshallow-focus effect.
The camera is equipped with sensor-shiftimage stabilization technology to improve image quality at slow shutter speeds or when using telephoto lenses. It has afocus peaking function as well. Sensor shift and focus peaking functions also work with adapted lenses.
TheQ7 andQ-S1 models have a larger sensor size (1/1.7 inches) resulting in a crop factor of 4.6×.
