PENTAX 645Z. Te camera that attained the title of Te Ultimate.
Te fagship camera that ushers in the next generation has given rise to a new legend.
The PENTAX 645Z i s the medium-format camera that leads the pack i n i magi ng performance. Amongst the spi rit of
the digital age, the PENTAX 645D made its presence felt i ntensely as a medium-format digital camera with an
i ntegrated i mage sensor, astoundi ng resolution, and dynamic resolvi ng power. But the advancements didnt stop there.
The PENTAX 645Z, equipped with a new CMOS i mage sensor with approxi mately 51. 4 mi l l ion pi xel s, puts the
power of ultra high def i nition i mages i n your hand. In addition to the new ti lt-able LCD monitor and Live View
f unction, signi f icantly i mproved responsiveness i ncludi ng AF, i mage processi ng and high-speed Instant Review are
added. Portabi l it y and agi l it y have been pol i shed and i mage qual it y that can only be cal led hyper real i stic has been
unquestionably achieved. The PENTAX 645Z. Gaze at the
di stant heights it has achieved and take a step i nto unknown
real ms of photography.
Z is one form of perfection.
A ground breaking camera that achieves
supremacy in image quality and portability.
Approx. 51.4 million efective pixels,
Large 43.8 x 32.8mm CMOS image sensor
Quick response and large bufer
memory
Live View and a tiltable LCD monitor
Capture everything refected in the eyes and see what is felt by the heart. Te
medium format CMOS image sensor meets the ideals of the photographer.
Compared to the dimension of a full-frame 35mm format sensor this sensor is
approximately 1.7 times larger. Approximately 51.4 million efective pixels.
Combined with the superb optical performance of PENTAX 645 lenses, this
produces unsurpassed resolution and smooth tonal gradation representations
and a three-dimensional feeling and atmosphere that will overwhelm the
viewers.
Exceptional image quality with 51.4 million pixels and quick response that lets you
capture those decisive moments. Scenes that, up to now, could not be captured on a
mediumformat digital camera can be captured with the excellent responsiveness of
the PENTAX645Z. As Auto Focus, image processing, Instant Reviewdisplay, and
writing to the memory card have been enhanced, you will experience signifcantly
faster operation. Te number of images captures duringcontinuous shootinghas also
increased to enable a comfortable shooting tempo when capturing portraits and
moving subjects.
Te Live View function is new to the PENTAX 645Z, freeing the photographers
eye from the viewfnder. With this feature you can carefully prepare for shooting,
making it perfect for landscape photography or studio photography, where you
need to wait for the right moment to activate the shutter. Te screen on the
PENTAX 645Z is also equipped with a tilt mechanism so waist-level, high and
low-angle shots are easy to frame and capture.

Surprising resolution and rich tones.
Tis is what high image quality truly means.
43.8x32.8mm
Unsurpassed resolving power and natural atmosphere,
provided by the large CMOS image sensor.
High resolution and depth of expression brought by the
size of the imaging surface. This is the reason that
medium-format cameras have been chosen for the high-
end photography that places top priority on image
quality. The PENTAX 645Z is equipped with a large,
43. 8 x 32. 8 mm CMOS image sensor. With the sensor
size approximately 1.7-times larger than a 35mm full-
frame format, a higher degree of the sharpness and
atmosphere of the scene can be captured. Also, because
the depth of field is shallow, background blurring
effects can be controlled freely. The PENTAX 645Z is
all the more effective and able to focus on the exact
point that you want to express, for exciting photos. PENTAX 645Z large CMOS sensor

51.4 million efective pixels that overthrow
the old standards of high quality imaging
AA-flter-free: Design concept that brings
out the full potential of the lens resolution
Image processor PRIME III: Process the high
pixel count data of approximately 51.4 million
efective pixels - instantly
Lens compensation function: Newly equipped
with difraction and colour fringe correction
[ Superior image defnition provided by
the large and high pixel CMOS image sensor]
Max. ISO 204800: Expanding the world of
exposure settings
Te PENTAX 645Z has approximately 51.4 million efective pixels. Tis
number of pixels is an absolute advantage when photographing subjects that
require high resolution, such as scenery. Te diference in sharpness and
density of details come across clearly even in large A3 size prints. Also, when
workingwithRAWimages, because a richamount of informationis included
in each shot, tone jumping is less likely to occur. Tis lets you boldly change
parameters and freely customize the fnish without worrying about ruining
the image.
Although false colours and moire efects are suppressed, a low pass flter,
unfortunately, reduces the sharpness of the overall image. Tis flter was
removed fromthe image sensor unit as part of the design concept to give frst
priority to resolution on the PENTAX645Z. Tis construction succeeds in
bringing out the full potential of both the lens and image sensors resolution.
Te unsurpassed resolution will resolve individual leaves on trees in a
landscape shot.
PENTAX latest image processor, the PRIME
III is used. Tis processor boasts a maximum
processing speed that is approx. fve times faster
than the PRIME II, and allows instantaneous
processing of the large data amounts produced
by the approx. 51.4 million efective pixels. Tis
processor also contributes to signifcantly
improved performance, such as a faster Instant
Review.
Te PENTAX 645Z is equipped with fully featured lens correction
functionality. Together with distortion and magnifcation chromatic
aberration, peripheral illumination correction and difraction correction are
newly added. Difraction that occur when stopping down the lens during
shooting is efectively corrected on the PENTAX 645Z. Additionally, it is
equipped with fringe correction for use in processing RAW images. Tis
camera will support a higher quality fnish.
Te large CMOS image sensor has ample pixel pitch and outputs a high SN
ratio signal even with the high pixel count. Blowout of highlights and loss of
shadowdetail are uncommononthe PENTAX645Z, and tonal changes are
reproduced in the high pixel count areas only. Te smooth connection
betweenshadows andcolours provides images withmore detaileddefnition.
Te main feature of medium-format cameras can also been seen in their
blurring efects. Te depth of feld is shallow and out of focus blurring is
smooth. Subjects capturedwiththe aperture at its widest setting appear more
three-dimensional, even than when seen with the naked eye. Tese features
make possible the sof, rich three-dimensional expression and atmosphere
that are particular to medium-format cameras, for a deeper signifcance in
photographs.
Te ultra high maximumsensitivity of ISO204800 is made possible by the
careful andthoroughnoise processing throughanimage processor andimage
sensor witha highSNratio. Evenat highISOsettings, excellent image quality
is possible withreducednoise andoutline blurring. Eveninthe same shooting

The responsiveness that was missing
from medium-format digital cameras
Quick response and operation have been achieved by renewing the entire
image processing performance. In addition to Auto Focus, image
processing, the operation of Instant Review display have been significantly
accelerated, compared to the PENTAX 645D. Also, equipped with a
large-capacity buffer memory, and the writing time to the memory card
has been reduced, which help you smoothly take a number of RAW-format
images with continuous shooting. These features make it possible to
continue releasing the shutter with a comfort that had not been possible

27 AF points: Superb subject sensing capability
Te AF systemused on the PENTAX645Zis SAFOX11. Difraction lenses
are usedinthe optical systemfor aberrationsuppression. By sharpening images
on the sensor, superb focusing precision is achieved. A light source detection
sensor is also included for thorough cancellation of even minute infuence on
AF fromspecifc artifcial light sources. Tis precision focusing and response
perfectly matches the requirements of high-resolutionimages.
Te three AF points at the center of the
screen support F2.8 beam AF. When
using a lens with a maximum aperture
value of F2.8, a high focusing precision is
possible. Tis is especially efective when
you want to make the depth of feld
extremely shallowor tomake sharpfocus
inshots.
By using a high-sensitivity AF sensor, a
low luminance limit of -3EV is achieved
(25 center points). Even with darker
subjects that are difcult to see, this AF
provides smooth and accurate focusing
for a greater range of scenes.
Tis feature detects the colour distributioninthe screen, subject colour, andits
movement, and optimizes the automatic linkage and control of AE, AF and
white balance. Te backbone of this is the scene analysis systemthat links the
approx. 86,000pixel RGBmeteringsensorandPRIMEIII. Bycomprehensively
analyzing scenes, high-precisionandstable shooting is possible.
The PENTAX 645Z uses the
approximately 86,000pixel RGBmetering
sensor, whichcaptures scenes onareal-time
basis, detecting brightness, colour, and
movement ona scale sofinely that it is ona

zone metering system. The low-luminance
limit is -1EV(ISO100/55mm, F2.8). This
featureachievesahighaccuracyof exposure

Te PENTAX645Zis equippedwithMulti-PatternAutoWB, whichdivides
the screen into small sections and applies the optimal white balance to each.
Tis functionresolves the colour temperature diferences due to difering light
sources, shadow, and sunlight, and provides stable colour reproduction that

moved 35 in a downward direction and 125
upward direction. Coupled with a 3.2 inch,
approximately 1.037 million dot, large, high-
defnition, wide viewing angle panel, this feature
makes it possible to shoot at low angles and high
angles while looking at the Live Viewdisplay from a
more comfortable position. It also features an air-
gapless construction that suppresses internal
refections. Reinforced glass with AR coating is
used for superb visibility, protection from scratches,
durability, and is crush resistant.
Live View: Making contrast AF possible
Integrated design: Achieving mobile,
hand-held shooting

is achieved.
To make the camera body more compact, a trapezoidal prism was used. Te
mount is tiltedforwardat 9 fromthe body, further optimizing the optical route
for a shorter overall height. AKepplerian telescope type eyepiece is used for the
optical system, achievingbothahighmagnifcationfactor andwideangleof view.
Tis viewfnderfeatures alargefeldof viewwhichrivals thosethat on35mmfull-
size cameras. Te feld of view is approx. 98%, and the screen is replaceable. A
natural bright matte screenis standard, makingit easytocapture focus peaks.
Te PENTAX 645Z is equipped with a high-
speed, long-life drive unit that clears durability
tests of over 100,000 shots. Equivalent to double
that of the PENTAX645D. Tis not only allows
you to shoot a continuous burst, but also to shoot
people and moving objects that are frequently
being shot and to make digital archives, all of
which meet the difcult needs of pro
photographers.
Anticipating the poor conditions
encountered in outdoor shooting, this
camera features a dust andsplashresistant
construction. 76diferent places including
buttons, dials, and covers are carefully
sealed to keep out raindrops, humidity,
and dust. Te same construction is also
usedonAWlenses. Whencombinedwith
an AWlens, this camera can be used even
in adverse conditions such as a rain storm
or dustyenvironments.
Tis camera has been tested in -10C
environments, confrming operation
accuracy, stability, responsiveness, and
changes in battery status. With this kind
of protection, you can always be ready to
take the camera into cold environments
wherethedigital devicesofendonotwork
properly.
Te camera exterior and tiltable LCD
monitoraremadeof lightweightandhigh-
strength magnesium alloy. Tis material
provides superb shock absorption, and
heat dissipation, as well as excellent
electromagneticshielding, highdurability,
andreliability. It stands uptoharduse and
protects the internal precision
mechanisms of the camera.
To achieve a chassis that supports the
fange, viewfnder and optical system of
the AF light path, a high level of strength
and accurate dimensions are necessary.
Die-cast aluminum was used for its high
strength, achieving a highly precise
assembly and high rigidity. Additionally,
the image sensor unit is attached to the
chassis viaaheat dissipationshield. Heat is
released by making the rear section of the
chassis a heat sink, reducing noise that
occurs due todarkcurrent.

We recommend the following system requirements to connect your camera to a computer and
to install and use the Digital Camera Utility 5 sofware included.
Tis feature is useful when making
copies of images. Normally, when
setting materials to shoot at the correct
position fromthe photographers point
of view, the recorded image is rotated
180 as seen in the right fgure. Simply
rotate 180 to record the rotate
information of the correct position.
Because Live View and HDMI output
is also rotated 180 and displayed, it is
easy to operate while viewing on a
computer or TVscreen.
Te PENTAX645Zis equippedwitha
USB3.0 jack. When connected with a
compatible computer, high-speed
communication that is leaps and
bounds beyond USB 2.0 is possible.
Tis feature makes image transfer stress
free whenshooting withLive Viewona
computer.
Te PENTAX 645Z is equipped with
a key/dial operation lock to prevent
accidental operation of dials and
buttons when shooting. In addition to
the front/back dials, this feature
temporarily deactivates the buttons
mainly connected to exposure controls
such as exposure compensation and
ISOsensitivity. Additionally, the scope
of the locking function can be expanded to encompass virtually every button
except for the shutter release button.
* While the camera is connected to an AV device, nothing is displayed on the camera monitor.
Also, you cannot adjust the volume on the camera.
* Only rotate information is recorded.
* Supported operating systems are limited to those installed on a computer and updated to the

System accessories that expand the realms of creativity
Aero Bright coating: Making clear images possible
Resolution and depictive power: Clearly diferent
from that of 35 mm format
PENTAX 645 lens mount: Te gateway to
a rich variety of lenses
Dustproof, weather-resistant construction:
Overcome poor conditions like rain and dust
HD coating:
Nanoscale technology that catches light
Te timeless PENTAX 645 lens inherits tradition
and tried-and-tested quality.
Te PENTAX 645Z maintains compatibility with the 645 series system that spans both flm and digital cameras. With the possibility of attaching a rich variety of
accessories, all types of shooting conditions and expressive intentions are supported. Go beyond borders for unsurpassed resolution and depictive power.
Aero Bright coating is the latest lens coating created fromnanotechnology.
In addition to normal multi-coating, a layer of silica aerogel coating is used,
which has homogenous gaps. By injecting air with a lowrefractive index in
the spaces between stable silica nanoparticles, an ultra-lowrefractive index
and high transparency coating is achieved. Tis coating goes beyond the limits of
traditional coating, succeeding insignifcantly reducing surface refection.
An important metric for judging the brightness and resolution of an optical system
is the lens aperture. Tere is a law* in optics which states that the larger the lens
aperture, the higher the resolution of a lens becomes. When compared with a 35 mm
format lens at the same angle, PENTAX645 lenses have a larger aperture. Tis gives
these lenses a high resolution, making it possible for a larger amount of information
to be captured by the image sensor, which makes sense optically speaking.
Te PENTAX 645Z inherits the 645 lens mount, which boasts thirty years of
tradition. Tis mount makes it possible to use the many famous lenses created for
the 645 since the flmera.
Te PENTAX645Z inherits the Super Field Camera concept of its
predecessor. Due to this, lenses also demand excellent dust and
splash resistant performance. AW lenses feature a modified
construction that is thoroughly sealed to keep out water droplets and
dust. Tis constructionmakes it possible toshoot indifcult conditions
suchas rainyweather andbythe waterside, andindustylocations.
PENTAX multi-coating is the forerunner of multi-coating in
camera history, and still boasts excellent transparency, low
refection, and colour balance. HD (High Defnition) increases
those properties even further. Te optical technology that has
led the generation supports high-performance on 645 lenses.
*Aero Bright coating is used on DFA645 and DA645 lenses.
*Rayleigh scattering: a=1.22 (Where a = resolution, = wavelength, D: lens diameter)
Here, resolution (a) means the minimumdistance where two points can be recognized as two points, and the smaller the value,
the higher the resolution (high resolution) is.
* Some functions are limited when the PENTAX645LS lens is attached.
