Framerate in afc?

derekkite · 02-18-2016, 07:30 PM

Any indication of how much degradation occurs when in afc mode? The K3 drops buy about a third.

If it's set to FPS priority it should be the same, but if set to focus priority it'll be slightly slower - maybe 2-3 FPS?

The horse sequence in the promotional video is more than 2-3 per second.

By the way, I know i couldn't get that sequence with the K3. 2 out of 5 would have focus.

Given that the camera is not available for sale and has not been reviewed with release version software, I believe that any attempts to conclude anything beyond the published specification is little more than guided speculation. From what I could tell on the promotional video, much of what is shown is illustrative and not a live demonstration.
