Pentax K-m Digital SLR Camera Review

  Pentax K m Digital SLR Camera Review

A look around the body shows a different layout in the buttons from the other Pentax models with the removal of the image stabiliser switch, function button and all important RAW button. The screen is the same size as the K200D but looks bigger on the smaller body.

A useful addition to the body comes in the form of a help button. Located on the right shoulder next to the exposure compensation button, its task is to give clearer instructions on the feature you're using.


The command dial has all the features of the K200D minus the bulb setting for ultra long exposures which means the K-m has a maximum shutter speed of 30sec until it goes in Manual where bulb is accessible. It still offers the usual PASM modes as well as the Sv mode for sensitivity-priority. In this mode, you can adjust the ISO using the E-dial (thumb wheel) while the camera controls the shutter speed and aperture.
