No, the K-7 does not auto focus in video. But he is capable of doing it though as the preproduction firmware confirms, too bad they took it out. Hopefully we see it back in a firmware update:!:

Is SR better on the K7? a few "test"shots
LanceB, I have no idea what you are talking about, but having spent most of this morning trying to get some in focus shots of Goldfinches without success, I love your pictures :mrgreen:

Is SR better on the K7? a few "test"shots
These images are pretty good :). And of course the 60-250 helped the quality :) but looking at the shutter speeds you used I am absolutely amazed, handheld with those shutter speeds :lol: LanceB, I have no idea what you are talking about, but having spent most of this morning trying to get s...

Is SR better on the K7? a few "test"shots
Lance, great shots and sharp, I haven't had any time this week and the weather as you know hasn't been helpful, :cry: Initial thoughts are very good. Have you tried any video yet :?: picture quality looks very good. BTW what part of the Sth Coast were these pics taken :?: My parents also ...

New K-7 adopters, what's your impressions?
Just wondering what new adopter's impressions were so far. I picked mine up yesterday from SRS. My impressions so far based on very limited use:- Built like tank with pleasing functional styling both with and without the grip. Love the handling. Layout of controls is easy to get to grips with. ...

New K-7 adopters, what's your impressions?
Hi, I agree with you`r impressions, I bought mine from Cambrian Photography in Colwyn Bay yesterday. The only real downer for me is that you have to make a choice between having the brilliant spirit level or exposure information! Both essential to me (so it`s back to the old hotshoe level i guess....

New K-7 adopters, what's your impressions?
I agree with your first impressions: 1. I'm also somewhat worried about the rubber covers. I don't like them and always thing that they look like they'd break off too easily 2. It's rugged and for me noticeably more compact than the K20D 3. I really like the new menus, both the configuratio...

Thanks to Chris at SRS a K-7 + grip arrived Friday morning just in time to put the battery on charge before leaving for work :-( Took it down to Bristol Docks for a few pics Saturday afternoon :-) Pics are JPGs with only resize and sharpening. K-7 + DA* 60-250 : Iso 100, 1/320, 250mm, F4 ...

. . . the seemingly better exposure control especially the flash exposure, which is a phenomenal leap in accuracy. Here are two shots, one from the K20D and both camera and flash both set to 0 EV and the same with the K7. Both with AF540FGZ attached with a Gary Fong Lightsphere attached. Generally, ...

New K-7 adopters, what's your impressions?
Well I adoped mine about 5 minutes before Huw at SRS on Friday! My thoughts so far: (1) it was smaller than I expected - actually seems smaller even than my K100D because the body is slimmer even if the grip is chunkier. In my book, this is a good thing as what I wanted was K10/20 functionality...

New K-7 adopters, what's your impressions?
Whilst trawling through the K7 manual i came upon "Catch in Focus mode" What a great idea! As i have a Bagfull of old K and M series Manual focus lenses with which i sometimes had difficulty in determining when a fast moving subject was sharply in focus or not (Usually not) before pressing the shutt...

Catch in Focus has been available since the film days (SFX) shim Hi Shim, Thanks, I had never heard of it before, I began with an MX in 1975 and followed that with a brace of MX`s shortly after they came out and i continued to use all 3 until about 4 years ago when i purchased a Ist*DL so i comp...

New K-7 adopters, what's your impressions?
Just tried it, it defaults to around 3FPS :? That's a shame. Don't see the need for that, hope it's sorted in the next firmware update. Just a thought, does it do a preflash before each exposure? If so, that might be why it has to scale back the FPS. But thinking about it, if it's in manual, doe...

Just a thought, does it do a preflash before each exposure? If so, that might be why it has to scale back the FPS. But thinking about it, if it's in manual, does it do a preflash at all? Dan Yes, it does a preflash before each exposure. If it is in manual, it still does a preflash. It does ...

"I don't like the locking button on the dial. It's a real pain to switch modes now, which I liked to do quickly, and I have never had an issue with the K20D rotating while in a bag." I don't use a bag. I wear my camera as I stroll around town and it's a major pain when the mode dial moves and a m...

New K-7 adopters, what's your impressions?
Just seen which, under 'metering' states: "Auto bracketing: 3 or 5 exposures in 0.5 or 0.3 EV steps. Additional auto bracketing for contrast, saturation, colour tone, focus, and white balance." Does the K-7 have a focus bracketing option? I haven't seen it mentioned before, but I might have j...
