AC adapter
An AC adapter or AC/DC adapter (also called a wall charger, power adapter, power brick, or wall wart) is a type of external power supply, often enclosed in a case similar to an AC plug.
Active-pixel sensor
An active-pixel sensor (APS) is an image sensor, which was invented by Peter J.W. Noble in 1968, where each pixel sensor unit cell has a photodetector (typically a pinned photodiode) and one or more active transistors.
See Pentax K-7 and Active-pixel sensor
APS-C
Advanced Photo System type-C (APS-C) is an image sensor format approximately equivalent in size to the Advanced Photo System film negative in its C ("Classic") format, of 25.1×16.7 mm, an aspect ratio of 3:2 and Ø 30.15 mm field diameter.
Autofocus
An autofocus (AF) optical system uses a sensor, a control system and a motor to focus on an automatically- or manually-selected point or area.
CMOS
Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS, pronounced "sea-moss") is a type of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) fabrication process that uses complementary and symmetrical pairs of p-type and n-type MOSFETs for logic functions.
Digital Photography Review
Digital Photography Review, also known as DPReview, is a website about digital cameras and digital photography, established in November 1998.
See Pentax K-7 and Digital Photography Review
Digital single-lens reflex camera
A digital single-lens reflex camera (digital SLR or DSLR) is a digital camera that combines the optics and mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a solid-state image sensor and digitally records the images from the sensor.
See Pentax K-7 and Digital single-lens reflex camera
Facial recognition system
A facial recognition system is a technology potentially capable of matching a human face from a digital image or a video frame against a database of faces.
See Pentax K-7 and Facial recognition system
Flash synchronization
In photography, flash synchronization or flash sync is the synchronizing the firing of a photographic flash with the opening of the shutter admitting light to photographic film or electronic image sensor.
See Pentax K-7 and Flash synchronization
Gram
The gram (originally gramme; SI unit symbol g) is a unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.
High dynamic range
High dynamic range (HDR), also known as wide dynamic range, extended dynamic range, or expanded dynamic range, is a signal with a higher dynamic range than usual.
See Pentax K-7 and High dynamic range
High-definition video
High-definition video (HD video) is video of higher resolution and quality than standard-definition.
See Pentax K-7 and High-definition video
Hoya Corporation
is a Japanese company manufacturing optical products such as photomasks, photomask blanks and hard disk drive platters, contact lenses and eyeglass lenses for the health-care market, medical photonics, lasers, photographic filters, medical flexible endoscopy equipment, and software.
See Pentax K-7 and Hoya Corporation
Light meter
A light meter (or illuminometer) is a device used to measure the amount of light.
See Pentax K-7 and Light meter
Lithium-ion battery
A lithium-ion or Li-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses the reversible intercalation of Li+ ions into electronically conducting solids to store energy.
See Pentax K-7 and Lithium-ion battery
Live preview
Live preview is a feature that allows a digital camera's display screen to be used as a viewfinder. Pentax K-7 and Live preview are Live-preview digital cameras.
See Pentax K-7 and Live preview
Pentaprism
A pentaprism is a five-sided reflecting prism used to deviate a beam of light by a constant 90°, even if the entry beam is not at 90° to the prism.
Pentax
was a Japanese camera and optical equipment manufacturer, and currently, it exists as the Pentax Life Care Business Division of Hoya's medical endoscope business, as well as the digital camera brand of Ricoh Imaging, a subsidiary of Ricoh.
Pentax K-5
The Pentax K-5 is a 16.3-megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera, announced on September 20, 2010. Pentax K-7 and Pentax K-5 are Live-preview digital cameras, pentax DSLR cameras and pentax K-mount cameras.
Pentax K-mount
The Pentax K-mount, sometimes referred to as the "PK-mount", is a bayonet lens mount standard for mounting interchangeable photographic lenses to 35 mm single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras.
See Pentax K-7 and Pentax K-mount
Pentax K20D
The Pentax K20D and its clone, the Samsung GX-20, are 14.6 megapixel digital single-lens reflex cameras manufactured by Pentax that were announced on January 23, 2008. Pentax K-7 and Pentax K20D are Live-preview digital cameras, pentax DSLR cameras and pentax K-mount cameras.
See Pentax K-7 and Pentax K20D
Pixel
In digital imaging, a pixel (abbreviated px), pel, or picture element is the smallest addressable element in a raster image, or the smallest addressable element in a dot matrix display device.
Prontor-Compur
A Prontor-Compur connection (also known as a PC connector, PC terminal, or PC socket) is a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") electrical connector (as defined in ISO 519, (1992-11-25). Photography -- Hand-held cameras -- Flash-connector dimensions. Geneva: International Organization for Standardization.) used in photography to synchronize the shutter to the flash.
See Pentax K-7 and Prontor-Compur
SD card
Secure Digital, officially abbreviated as SD, is a proprietary, non-volatile, flash memory card format the SD Association (SDA) developed for use in portable devices.
Through-the-lens metering
In photography, through-the-lens metering (TTL metering) refers to a feature of cameras whereby the intensity of light reflected from the scene is measured through the lens; as opposed to using a separate metering window or external hand-held light meter.
See Pentax K-7 and Through-the-lens metering
Video Graphics Array
Video Graphics Array (VGA) is a video display controller and accompanying de facto graphics standard, first introduced with the IBM PS/2 line of computers in 1987, which became ubiquitous in the IBM PC compatible industry within three years.
See Pentax K-7 and Video Graphics Array
Viewfinder
In photography, a viewfinder is a small window the photographer looks through to see what a photo will look like before they capture it.
