Picture Quality / Size Options
The Pentax K10D writes JPEGs, Pentax proprietary RAW files, and the open-standard DNG raw format. It's great to see DNG, and we expect K10D users to benefit from shooting that.
 
RAW and DNG files can only be shot at native resolution, which is 3872 x 2592. JPEGs can be shot at full res, 3008 x 2000, and 1824 x 1216. The three JPEG compression settings are Best Better and Good. Good files are the smallest and worst quality. Read our full review for more about differences in the files.
 
Picture Effects Mode
Pentax literature touts 4 black-and-white, 3 sepia, and 18 color “digital filters,” plus special effects and a slim filter. We'll check them out in our full review.
 
The K10D also allows adjustments of contrast, saturation, hue, and sharpening.
