This is a service for owners of PENTAX K-1 (launched in April 2016). By replacing the main control board at a fee, features of the latest model PENTAX K-1 Mark II (launched in April 2018) can be added to the camera. This is the new form of offering in the next generation of "Monozukuri" (Making Things): Unlike a conventional changeover, the user can enjoy the same functions and capabilities as the newest model without having to let go of a camera that he is familiar with. Improved camera sensitivity and autofocus speed/followability. And new functions such as using slight fluctuations of the subject's position during hand-held shooting to create super-high-resolution images transform the camera into the most up-to-date model.
