The Pentax K-3 III is a DSLR which was introduced by Pentax Ricoh Imaging in 2021. The Pentax K-3 III features the same magnesium-alloy, weather sealed body of its predecessor, the Pentax K-3 II but the control layout was redesigned. Many new features are presented in this camera:
- Viewfinder with 100% coverage and improved brightness, with 105% magnification.
- Viewfinder has an LCD overlay with a customizable grid, electronic level, AF active points, Smart Function settings, and other features
- Eye sensor
- Button layout now includes a third command wheel and it also includes a joystick for moving the active AF point
- Rear monitor is a touch screen
- Support for legacy lenses has been improved, allowing for metering with K and M-series lenses (no electronics) and recording of the aperture data in EXIF. When the shutter button is half-pressed the camera stops the lens down and sets the exposure.
- Electronic shutter
