How to turn off auto adjusting aparture when zooming in video?(K3-II)

Stepan Dolezal · 02-17-2017, 07:35 AM

Hey,
I just found out that if I zoom on my K3-II with high aparture setting (Like F16 and higher) and i am shooting a video, and I zoom the aparture adjusts. I dont want that. Is there any way to disable it?
Thanks

Generally, you'd need to set the exposure mode to either Av or M and select the aperture. If you have a variable aperture lens, the aperture will still change if you're close to wide open.
