Additionally, an SP Protect coating has also been applied to the front lens element to effectively protect it from dirt, oil, and finger prints.

The compact form-factor of this lens integrates Pentax's Quick-Shift Focus System, which allows manual focus control over the lens at any time, even in AF mode, for precise handling over the focal plane.

Q: 1. Will there be cropping with DA lenses?

A: Yes, any lens attached to this camera will have an image that is cropped compared to using the same lens on a full-frame camera.

Q: 2. Is 4:2:2 10bit to an external recorder an option for the K3iii?

A: No, the Pentax K-3 Mark III DSLR Camera does not have 4:2:2 10 bit output. It also does not have clean 16:9 HDMI out and so would not be a good option for an external recorder.

Q: 3. Does it take same battery as k3ii does

A: Yes, it is compatible with the same battery as the K3 II.

Q: 4. Does this have any "tracking " modes like the Nikon D500?

A: The Pentax K-3 Mark III DSLR Camera (Black) does not have the same type of AF tracking as the Nikon D500.

Q: 5. Can anyone check how bad autofocus fluttering/wobbling in movie mode ?

A: You might be asking about as focus breathing, which can look like a weird jiggle/wobble when the camera is continuously focusing during photo or video. This is actually an effect of the lens, and not the camera. We can test it out for you if we know what lens you might be using on the K3 Mk III. If this isn't what you're referring to, I'd recommend reach out to live video-chat once the camera is available and on display and we can test it out for you. (Unfortunately, as of 5/14, is it not available for us to test out for you.)

Q: 6. Does the premium edition come in a special box or just the regular box

A: Unfortunately, this has yet to be determined.

Q: 7. Does the K-3 III include the astro tracker feature?

A: Unfortunately no. The Astrotracer feature needs GPS built into the camera and the K-3 Mark III does not have GPS. Currently the K-70 is the only model with Astrotracer: https://bhpho.to/33tioLY
