Autofocus in video mode in K-1

mikasevaan · 04-16-2017, 07:25 AM

Hello

Is it really true the autofocus is not working in video mode at all or is it only issue in some objectives?
I just bought a new K-1 and 28-105 D-FA 1:3.5-5.6 ED DC WR lens. Been trying to get autofocus working with several ways but with no succeed :-(

If it is a lens problem, which lenses do work in video mode with autofocus?

With best regards to all from cold Finland :-)

Autofocus works, should work, with K-1 and your lens in video mode pressing the af-button. Check the setting of the focus mode pressing the af-mode button.
But it is not following the target. You have to refocus pressing the af-button. And same in Finnish:
Helekutin köyhä on videomoodi tässä kamerassa. Tarkentaa, jos sattuu huvittamaan. Yleensä ei.

Another one in cold Finland.

Thank you. That explains all to me. Erityisesti Suomalainen osuus !
Luckily I did not buy this for video recordings :-)
