Product Description
This Centon K400 is an excellent auto/manual exposure, manual focus 35mm film SLR camera body - ideal as an introduction to serious photography, and compatible with a huge range of Pentax K and PK lenses (not included).
The camera has the choice of aperture-priority auto or manual exposure control. On auto, you set the aperture on the lens, and the camera sets the shutter speed. On manual, you set everything yourself for ultimate control, but the camera still indicates whether the exposure is correct. An auto exposure lock and depth of field preview features are provided. Shutter speeds range from 1 second up to 1/1000th of a second, plus B. There's a standard thread for a cable release, and an on/off switch plus a cancellable self timer.
The viewfinder has comprehensive exposure information, with a scale of LEDs showing auto and manual shutter speeds, plus auto and manual indicators and over and under exposure warnings. On manual, the camera allows full metering, displaying two LEDs for metered and correct exposure, and staying on for a few seconds after you alter the speed for easier operation. The focusing screen is large, bright and easy to use, and has both split image rangefinder and microprism focusing aids.
The camera has a standard hot shoe for flash, usable at all shutter speeds up to 1/60th of a second. It's well built, with a compact, lightweight body, smooth controls and a stylish all-black finish. It has an ergonomic grip on the front to improve handling, and fits the hand really well. Standard, popular Pentax K (PK) bayonet lens mount, which gives access to hundreds of lenses in PK and KA fittings, both new and used. Most AF lenses can also be fitted, but FA-J, DA and other lenses with no aperture ring are not suitable. Connections are provided for a Centon dedicated flash and auto winder (not included).
