Features & Controls (cont.)
The K-30 runs on the D-LI109 rechargeable Li-ion battery (included), and comes with the D-BC109 charger. The battery is rated to last approximately 410 images (CIPA rating with 50% flash shots), and to playback for roughly 270 minutes.
Note the shape of the battery compartment. It is designed to alternatively hold four AA batteries. But to do this, you'll need the optional D-BH109 holder. Interestingly, the camera is CIPA-rated to shoot approximately 1000 images (50% with flash) on one charge with four AA lithium batteries (compared to 410 with the included Li-ion battery). Playback time is also significantly improved with AA lithium batteries: approximately 620 minutes versus 270 minutes with the included Li-ion battery.
Maximum movie recording time is 25 minutes per clip. Also available is an optional AC adapter.
The K-30 has just one port - a combination USB/AV port that sits behind a rubber flap. There is no HDMI port for outputting the 1080p HD video the camera can record.
The K-30 body can be purchased separately or as a kit with the DA L 18-55mm lens. The camera offers AF fine adjustment, which allows you to fine-tune the auto focus for each of your lenses, or to apply the adjustment to all lenses. Also offered is Catch-In Focus Mode, which you use with manual focus. When selected in the custom settings menu, the camera will automatically trip the shutter when your subject comes into focus.
The K-30 supports SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards. The card slot sits behind a spring-loaded plastic door that you slide back to release. Also on this side of the body is the cable release terminal, which sits behind a rubber flap below the SD card slot. In addition to using a cable release to trip the shutter, you can use an optional wireless remote, though oddly by default the remote will not adjust the autofocus - you have to change this as a custom setting for it to do so.
