Double e-dials
Speedy control of the subject’s motion and the depth of field using original Hyper operating system
The PENTAX KF features a pair of e-dials which can be used to control the PENTAX-original Hyper operation system. To select the Program exposure (P) mode, turn either dial to instantly switch the exposure mode to Aperture-priority (Av) or Shutter-priority (Tv), without taking your view away from the subject.
