The PENTAX smc P-DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 is recommended for use with digital cameras. Ideal for beginners, it provides a focal length covering a wide to moderate wide-angle range. Like all PENTAX lenses, the smc P-DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 zoom lens is treated with PENTAX's acclaimed smc coating for maximum light transmission, sharp definition, and high contrast while minimizing flare and ghost imaging.

Shake Reduction
The PENTAX-developed “Shake Reduction technology solves one of the oldest photographic problems: blur
caused by handheld camera shake. The K Series Digital SLRs produce sharp photos in challenging situations without having to use a tripod. Hand-held photography is now possible with long telephoto lenses or when long exposure times are required due to poor lighting.

The PENTAX “Shake Reduction system is integrated into the camera body and is independent of the lens in use. The system ensures that at the moment of exposure the compensating movement of the image sensor provides blur-free pictures.

The advantage is obvious: you may increase your handheld shooting by 2.5 to 4 stops.

PENTAX owns over 30 patents for the SR system, which uses a ball-bearing-mounted oscillator unit with four
electromagnets that position the free-floating image sensor. Angular velocity sensors detect camera movement and relay the amount of compensation necessary to the electromagnets that move the sensor to
compensate for any shake.

PRIME IMAGE Processing
The Pentax Real IMage Engine (PRIME) was developed specifically by PENTAX for our cameras in order to meet the performance requirements of higher resolution sensors. The PRIME engine converts the digital signal into the image you desire by assuring truer color tones, a wider dynamic range, and natural looking high ISO images. Ultimately, PRIME provides beautiful, natural results similar to what you see shooting with film. By allowing customization of the image, the advanced circuitry frees you to focus on the image and capture the perfect shot.

Adjustable High Sensitivity Noise Reduction
As the sensitivity increases with any camera, so does the possibility of noise. While every effort has been made to minimize the effect of noise, some conditions demand additional noise reduction. However, once noise reduction has been applied to an image, it cannot be reversed. PENTAX bodies give the ability to apply four levels of noise reduction to meet your needs, from no adjustment to strong control of noise.

Digital Preview
Always know your results before you shoot. The Digital Preview feature allows you to see the shot before
actually tripping the shutter release, thus allowing you to verify the camera settings. And now, should your preview happen to be a winning shot, you can save the image as a JPEG file.

Protection From The Elements
Whether you`re shooting in a misty, tropical rain forest, on a snowcapped peak, or along a dusty desert trail, the seals around the durable PENTAX DSLR bodies reliably protect the inner components against humidity, moisture and dust particles. The fiber-reinforced polycarbonate body surrounding the high-rigidity, stainless steel chassis provides plenty of strength for every day use. A complete system: the K200D has 60 seals in the body and 14 in the grip, assuring complete protection against humidity, dust or sand. PENTAX offers the highest level of protection in either class. Durable and solid: the stainless-steel chassis is also impermeable to corrosion and is extremely stable.
