When I was getting into photography and Pentax in general, I loved watching overview videos that details the controls of the camera.

I felt that this help train and orientate myself to the camera before I even bought it.

Here is our take with a PentaxTips K-70 overview training video:

I just watched this video and shared it with my wife, ( I bought the K-70 for her.).
Very informative!
I look forward to seeing the video on the K-3 III

What's really important here is the value of these introductory - training videos. I watch those regularly, because no mater how advanced someone may be, "back to basics" is always a way to get us going, try new stuff with our camera and find inspiration. Your video is informative, not that long and I think it's pretty useful for a new K-70 owner.

I've had the K-70 for 3 years now. I wish this video had been available before. Very useful!

I bought my K70 two years ago as my first digital camera and was completely lost with all the adjustment, customization and menus. Wish this had been availble then instead of hours jumping back and forth through the manual trying to find things. Very helpful

I'm on the fence about getting the k-70, so this was really in seeing how the menus work.

The K-70 is an extremely capable camera, the buttons and menu system is really well laid out.
Glad you find the video useful

Like other's I have found this video to be extremely informative. However one question I have that perhaps you can answer is what the heck is the little white circle with the line drawn through it on the shoulder on the left side next to the strap?
That thing has been bugging me for 4 years and I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.

That's the image plane, ground zero so to speak.
