PENTAX official

Japanese only website. It seems to be aimed at building a Pentax community. PENTAX official???? | PENTAX official

Thank you D1N0

Interesting. Considering all the recent rumors of unfair treatment of Pentax employees. This comes up.
Also the fact that yt channels like TheCameraville have officially jumped ship form Pentax to push sponsorships instead.

The new site seems to translate well. Will keep an eye on it most definitely.

Again. Many thanks D1N0

Thank you. You have to root around in there a bit to see any content that's available for home viewing--at least I did---and what I saw was not very in-depth. Sadly, the most interesting stuff is all workshops that will be live events(pending COVID-19 developments..) in Japan.

For some reason, PF doesn't seem to have taken hold in 'the homeland'. I hope this new website can build the kind of community there that the rest of us enjoy here.

Sorry, but this is at least 5 to 6 month old news.

New Pentax Promotion site launched in Japan - PentaxForums.com

Oh wow! ... they seem to have a reasonably comprehensive set of user instructions for "Digital Camera Utility 5"

What's the chance of a translation into English (and other languages, obviously!)?

Pretty minimal, I'd say. It looks very Japan-centric to me.

Use a Chrome browser - Google translate is built in, works pretty good on this site

Thank you for that tip ... I'd never tried to translate Japanese, it certainly works adequately well on this web-site!

I wish they'd publish more articles in using Pentax cameras, maybe photo contests and news on new products. Nice site. I like it.
