No AF in K-7 for video
[quote:3496ace15f="gartmore"]I want a manual focus ring and a manual operated zoom lens if I would start with video shooting. If that is so then you'll also need to factor in the cost of Adobe Premiere, and most probably a new workstation with a fancy motherboard, quad-core processor and 64-bit oper...

Seems to me that that the addition of video means all things to all men, especially where Pentax is perceived to be in the market place. Some might think it to be a point and squirt addition, others thinking it should be somewhere near what a wannabe Spielberg might throw into his/her bag as a ba...

Hi Shim, which focussing problems? If you are referring to the K-7 no one has tested a production unit yet..... I was really talking about on the other cameras, where you have to test the focus and apply an adjustment. I imagine the K7 will be the same they haven't said it's been improved. Tighter...

It's a bit weird really... If you are on a photography course, it should really be about exploring the unique challenge of photography - creating a world within just one image (or a series of images).... just visual, without sound or movement. Just because a DSLR has video doesn't bring the medi...

Just because a DSLR has video doesn't bring the medium of video making closer to stills photography. I think the mediums will stay distinct. Same rules of composition, exposure, depth of field, so it is not so distinct. Additions such as tracking and sound add a new dimension. I have had my K7 ...

Sorry but I am now confused! I was considering buying a K7 body as it would slim down the kit I have to carry! but how does the Video actually work on the K7? Can I zoom whilst filming? (I am assuming I have to focus manually?) Can I pre select aperture or is exposure fully auto in video mode? ...

Can I zoom whilst filming? (I am assuming I have to focus manually?) yes you can zoom and focus manually but you can first auto focus before filming. Can I pre select aperture or is exposure fully auto in video mode? Yes Can I change aperture mid shot? No... actually you can with a lens with an ap...

Video is the reason I decided to keep the Pentax-A 35-105mm. It seems to keep focus while you zoom in or out unlike other lenses that need refocus once zoomed.

You cannot see through the optical viewfinder while shooting video. This is because the mirror is flipped up to allow the sensor to continually "see" through the lens. The LCD screen is pretty bright and contrasty, though. Auto-focus doesn't work while shooting video. You have to manual-focus, or...

[quote:3496ace15f="Anvh"]So how for arguments sake would I shoot a plane giving a display with the K7 will it be a simple select point shoot and follow the aircraft around the sky with the camera taking care of exposure focus and allowing me to zoom at will? Can the Video function of the K7 real...

GPS Module
What's happened to all the interest in the GPS module? Pentax deny any knowledge of any such module, so has it died a death? As the K7 comes compete with video, are we now going to get a K9GTS, with carbon fibre body, self levelling horizon mode,any colour as long as it's black,automatic focus...

K-7 at SRS on June 6th
I was wondering who was planning to go to this? As I am a good 350 miles away it may be a little far for a day trip. Hopefully there will be lots of comments afterwards (and I assume SRS will happily take £500 for the out-of-box-ex-demo model)! :lol:Your joking about the demo model:lol: :roll...

Can do, will have to prise it out of Fiona's hands though, as I'm back with the Fastpack 350, mainly due to the Laptop slot. The new MacBook Pro fits in quite nicely!

K-7 at SRS on June 6th
Nice day so far ;). I've been there, it was nice to meet Chris and Steve (representing Pentax). K7 feels nice in my hand, looks nice, (as I wrote weeks ago) new, quiet shutter is nice. It was still a pre-production - firware will change (so it is possible that results will be even nicer), hence I w...

Do you know if the kit lens is the WR model or are we going to be paying extra for that? Just back from SRS. Ran into Danny and Mark which was nice to get to meet them. Danny had brought all his lenses and we got to play with it for over an hour. And we did some comparision also side by side with t...

just got back from SRS...they almost needed a crowbar to get the K7 out of my hands. It is everything I was looking for in a DSLR and the weight and dimensions are as close as I have found to my LX . I wanted a digital LX and this is pretty. Very cool camera. An object of desire - solid, quick, clea...
