Hey Don,

The shooting modes are...

1080p 25/30 fps
720p 25/30 fps
and smaller size, i think it's 640 x 480 or something. You can adjust the quality of video between 1-3 stars.
If you set your camera to RAW then you cannot shoot in HDR mode or use the in camera cross processing (which is very good) The in camera functions are very powerful but work best when shooting JPEG, because you have full control of in camera processing. The battery is pretty good but will die out faster when shooting video. I have a spare battery as part of the deal when I got mine. The K5 auto focusses fast and doesnt make as much noise when firing as previous models. All round a well thought out and built camera, I have not bed comments so far.

I find it better to use fixed lenses when filming because you can fully control the aperture unlike with the zoom lenses.

hope that helps man.

Thanks. I used Adobe Premiere pro CD, then took it into Adobe After Effects to grade the video and enhance the contrast slightly.

Of course. I would take the batteries out, and just want to look at the bulb to see if it has blown or not. Thanks
