Control Options


Auto Mode
The auto mode on the K2000 is called Auto Picture, and attempts to chose the appropriate scene mode based on what it detects through the sensor. It doesn't completely remove control, which we appreciate, and could help people new to using SLRs become more comfortable with the multitude of settings available.

Movie Mode
As with most SLRs, the K2000 doesn't have a movie mode.

Drive / Burst Mode
The K2000 has High and Low speed continuous shooting modes. The first can take up to four images at 3.2 frames per second, the second will take unlimited images at 1.1 frames per second. The self-timer can be set to either 2 or 12 seconds, and there's an option to add a 3-second timer when using a remote control.

Playback Mode
Playback mode on this Pentax has a variety of options. For editing there's Resize, Crop, convert RAW to JPEG, Digital Filter (Toy Camera, High Contrast, Soft, Starburst, Retro, Color Extract, Illustration, HDR, B&W, Sepia, Color, Slim, Brightness and Custom). Zooming in during playback provides a maximum 16x magnification, and zooming out displays four, nine or sixteen thumbnails. Calendar, slideshow, histogram, bright/dark indications, DPOF and image comparisons are all available.

Custom Image Presets
The custom image presets available are Bright, Natural, Portrait, Landscape, Vibrant, Monochrome, Night Portrait, Action, Night Scene, Surf & Snow, Food, Sunset, Kids, Pet, Candlelight, Museum, Stage Lighting (2M JPG), Night Snap (2M JPG), Toy Camera, High Contrast, Soft, Starburst, Retro and Color Extract. This represents an unusually wide variety of image tweaks and shooting modes, for an SLR, which we feel the intended user will appreciate..

    Nikon D5100

    The D5100 is the latest entry-level DSLR from Nikon, with full 1080/30p video, an articulated LCD, and the same image sensor as the D7000. It lacks an internal focus motor, but we found it produced some of the most accurate colors we've seen yet. Read full 7-part review
