Description — Pentax Q10
The Pentax Q10 mirrorless camera pairs a 12.4 MP sensor in the 1/2.3-inch format with the Pentax Q interchangeable lens mount, all packed into a body measuring just 102 x 58 x 34 mm and weighing 200g. Despite its size, it includes Sensor-Shift (IBIS) in-body image stabilization — a meaningful feature for a camera of this scale. Still images are captured at up to 4000 x 3000 pixels, and the camera supports burst mode at 5 fps for continuous shooting sequences.
The contrast detection autofocus system offers 25 focus points for subject placement flexibility. Video maxes out at 1920 x 1080 at 30fps. The rear 3-inch fixed LCD with 460,000 dots of resolution handles framing and playback duties.
A built-in pop-up flash is on board for basic lighting needs. Storage uses SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and the camera is powered by a Lithium-ion D-LI68 battery. USB connectivity is present; WiFi and Bluetooth are not.
Weather sealing is not provided.
