You get no control over the quality bitrates, only resolution and framerate.
Simply chose which video IQ from the quick menu (info button).
Using the different IQ setting I shot three test files in turn for 5 secs each which gives these results:
*** = 23.5 Mbps / 5 second file 16Mb / Overall bit rate : 24.7 Mbps
** = 16.0 Mbps / 5 second file 11Mb / Overall bit rate : 17.2 Mbps
* = 8 945 Kbps / 5 second file 6Mb / Overall bit rate : 10.2 Mbps
I have found the lowest IQ setting while giving the smallest file does not really equate to less in video image quality when played. At least I can't see the difference.
I'd be very surprised if the K-3 didn't have similar control.
What you have described is spot on though and was worth mentioning.
