Perhaps I am missing it, but how do you set manual exposure in movie mode on the K1?

How do I set manual exposure, at least for ISO in the K1 like I can with the K3? I was out doing some video of Jupiter, Saturn, and the moon and am not sure how I can do that because using it as in in the K1 overexposes stuff.

Turn the mode dial to M if you want manual exposure. The ISO is set just like in stills mode.

Thanks! I had it in B mode because I was also doing some astrophotography.
