Hit the exposure lock button to lock the brightness / gain.
If the picture is grainy you need more light. Open the aperture, or turn up the lights! Avoid fluorescent lights. Opening up the aperture also creates more of an interesting look.
*I've noticed that WB does actually creep slightly, even when set manually. (This applies to stills as well as movies! :shock Selecting the appropriate WB setting reduces this, but the best bet is to avoid panning between outdoor and tungsten lit areas.

To celebrate the launch of the new PENTAX K-30 DSLR camera, PENTAX has launched Meet Britain, a nationwide competition asking members of the public to submit images of the things they feel make Britain great.
Entrants can submit images across five different categories:
-Celebrations
-Summer Holidays
-Friends and Family
-Great British Culture
-Great British Outdoors
The best images will then be shortlisted and will feature in an exhibition which will be open to the public in September. One winner from each category will then take home a PENTAX K-30 camera and one overall winner will take home the £1,000 prize fund.
The competition will be open to members of the public until 3rd September 2012 and people can submit their photographs via Meet Britain app on the PENTAX UK Facebook page.

#2 - love the spot of warm light on the drummer.
#10 - some things can never be 'un-seen', no matter how hard you try ;P
#12 - I love this guy's expression, and weatherbeaten Kurt Vonnegutian face - his face feels a bit low in the frame though perhaps?
#18 - brilliant bit of posing, well captured (suggest a crop top and right maybe?)
#19 - excellent candid portrait!

Seems to make a difference in lightroom. Images from my GX20 I can increase exposure by 2 stops on the k-5 by 4 stops...
A comparison of K-01 or K30 vs K5 would compare the same Sony sensor, but one with 12bit and one with 14bit oputput. From what I can tell, the additional 2bits have only a subtle effect on IQ even if your torture test the files.
On that example the K-01 is on the left, the K5 is on the right, both images 400ISO DNG files, with the same amount of fill and brightness added in LR3.

In practical terms is 14 bit worth more than 12 bit - comparison examples rather than numbers would be preferrable if possible
