Online overview videos may be one of the best resources allowing viewers to see exactly how a camera is operated and what features are available to access. Overview videos have helped me personally in my photography, allowing me to be more familiar and comfortable with the cameras and lenses during image acquisition. More time taking pictures and less time fumbling with settings!

Released in 2018, the K-1 Mark II is the second 35mm equivilent full-frame digital single lens reflex offered by Pentax. This camera followed from the K-1 Mark I with significant improvements to high ISO, Pixelshift, and autofocus. Notably, this camera series featured a unique limited time upgrade program where you could send Ricoh your K-1 and they would upgrade the camera to the K-1 Mark II hardware. So this tutorial not only covers the K-1 Mark II but would also be entirely applicable to the K-1 Mark I as well.

Learning about these features for the first time, or even re-discovering their place in the menu dive, can spur excitement and lights the fire of creativity and the desire to go out and shoot! The PentaxTips video below extensively covers the Pentax K-1 Mark II features, buttons, and menu layouts:
