There is a focus confirmation indicator in the viewfinder, and there is a focus peaking and zoom in function in live view. The viewfinder is not usable in video mode because the K-1 is a DSLR and there are no electronic viewfinder overlays for the focussing screen yet.

Welcome to the forum.

The K1 does offer focus peaking and focus confirmation. The viewfinder on the K1 is better than on my K3 or K5 for manual focus. In the video mode the mirror has to be up while recording so the viewfinder is not usable. The K1 uses an optical and not an electronic viewfinder.

Welcome to the Pentax Forums!

As noted above, focus peaking is only available with some form of electronic viewfinder.
