| The Pentax K-3 uses an innovative system for simulating the effect of a physical anti-aliasing filter. |
Pentax has released new firmware for its flagship K-3 DSLR, allowing users to bracket exposures by AA filter simulation mode. As a reminder, the K-3 lacks a physical anti-aliasing filter, but simulates the blurring effect via minute movement of its sensor, with two intensity levels available (three if you include 'off'). Firmware v1.02 allows you to shoot a burst of sequential images at each AA filter level, to fine-tune the optimal balance between resolution and artifacts like moiré.
The update also includes the usual minor fixes and 'stability improvements' - see notes below.

If you want your K-3 to stand out from the crowd you'd better hurry, as only 2,000 kits will be sold worldwide.

Pentax cameras have always been innovative, and Ricoh has upped the ante with the K-3. Its image stabilization system not only reduces shake, but it can also simulate an anti-aliasing filter.
