missed that quote earlier and hope you have not watched the whole thing (not saying the video is bad, just that it;s a talking head and having the ability to search the subtitles on YT would be a quicker way to find the relevant content without going to the video itself)

haha then i'm glad i have asked :-D

If you don't support, (watch) the few videos or channels that are about Pentax they will stop being about Pentax and go away. It's not like Pentaxians have a lot of options to choose from. Talking head or not, it's a good idea to encourage things and people who support what you like.

AF during video is available with the KAF4 lenses. They start at 50mm and go up. Not much help for what most people would use this video for, vlogging. So that's not going to get tested anytime before the 16-50mm PLM comes out. (At least by me...)

The codec is H264. I get my K33 Monday, and video testing are the first tests I'm running. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you out. In the meantime, watch my talking head video and help support my channel. The alternative is FRO...

So true, and from what I understand, it's important to "like" and better to "subscribe."

Video quality looks like a marked improvement on the K-3III. I haven't used video too much on my K-3, but I remember it would always look too contrasty, resulting in highlights and shadows easily getting clipped.

Great to have these videos popping out

Indeed. Now it looks pretty good.

LOL, you quote me and then don't mention my channel... Thanks a lot!

umm... glad to have found a new-to-me one to add to the list

but seriously - as a content creator, would you feel it's okay to be listed somewhere on the forum/private website along with other channels? (as a content consumer I'd love to have one)

Thanks for this. I watched previous one and was hoping you’d come up with this. What was ISO for video?
It did look okay. And colour was fine too(suppose it will only get better when you get used to it).

I did pull the trigger this morning. So I’ll be doing my testing in few weeks also. They said to be having that new 16-50 PLM out, but suppose that there are many more PLM (also consumer grade like 55-300) in pipeline already. Good times!

My channel is probably the oldest channel on Youtube with Pentax content, I started it in 2011. But I was a lot more active before 2015 and of course now I'm finally doing what I want with it.


A few years back Pentax Forums had something like a "Pentax good videos/channels" thread, and that was great. I found a lot of channels I still watch on that thread, and mine was mentioned as well. I think it's a great idea.

I kinda screwed that video up, as I didn't know where/how to get to set the iso and I think the auto iso defaulted to something crazy like 25,000. I figured that out and also dialed in the color a bit. The Flat profiles looks really good.


The video side of things might be usable for some things, but the stills side of things is really AMAZING. There are now so many options in the UI you have to take each thing and isolate it to fine tune it, but you can get pretty much exactly and anything you want.


Here's a video in 4k 24 fps, with the Flat profile and iso 3200:

Thanks for the ansver. And new video. I can see excitement coming through and I'll be joining this club soon!

and wait a minute. You said image looks better on HDMI when you changed it 4K in camera. This sounds exellent. I have BMPCC 4K for the time when I want 'proper' video. But this K-3III is going to be for more free and fun content. That said, based on material I'v seen so far, this can be more than that. And there is PLM lenses coming and there you will have that continious AF for video too. there is touch screen af too, but then you'd have to be onthe other side of the screen. (what you said about 7 minute limit being better for you, it might be true

that is for what comes to video, but I'm buying K-3III to be fast allaround photography machine at events, taking funshoots trying to chase my little girl(she is fast at age of 3) and stuff like that. I think that this will replace my K-1 in most shooting what I do/want to do. Fast and precise focus and fast instant responsiveness is what I'm hopin for, and seems that this is exactly what it is going to be too. So much looking forward to that.
