Hi!
There seems to be an endless flood of videos from brand ambassadors.
I'm afraid i don't have time to watch them all, to find out about Eye AF and the bitrate of the video codec.
Do you know any more?

I would also be interested in this. Any thoughts.

Already posted the bit rate question in this thread .
So what about that 4K video ? - PentaxForums.com

LOL, I wish YT had subtitle search... there's a lot of vids like this one:

Are you saying this video contains information on the topics from my original post?

Yes lot's of video like this one. 8]

Author of this video haven't seen K-3 III with his own eyes, but he is comparing it with another product.

Mine arrived this morning … I don't think there is an "eye a/f" feature. Any confusion was probably caused by the choice of phraseology referring to the little sensor below the optical viewfinder which switches the main screen off when the camera is brought up to eye level … a feature my Samsung NX5 had 10 years ago!
As for the video codec, if I knew what tool to use to interrogate a video file for that information I could check, but I don't do much with video, so it's not a subject I'm familiar with.

Eye AF is automatic. There is no actual setting the user can toggle for eye or no eye AF. By combining AF+AE you enable subject recognition which is the only available way for eye AF which depends on the subject.

As @Kobie said, no eye AF setting per se. However, it’s clearly there and working. I did some test shots of my TV on Friday, and it decided that when there wasn’t a face on screen, the word containing ‘oo’ looked like a pair of eyes.

Of course the Metering Sensor can detect eyes and allow the focus-points to priorize them.

Confusion can be cleared with this:
AF-C of K-3III is impressive - Page 3 - PentaxForums.com

Faster and better yes. But you mistake eye-tracking with eye-detection.

Eye tracking is the process of measuring either the point of gaze (where one is looking) or the motion of an eye relative to the head.
Eye tracking - Wikipedia

The Face and eye-detection of the K-3 III allows the AF to track eyes with the fokus-points.

Right … my mis-interpretation … the camera can detect an eye on a subject, it doesn't detect where the user's eye is looking and focus there … ooops
It'll be interesting to find out at what range and what size eye this feature is reliable for … bird at 100 yards?

The next one from him will be the one to watch. He's actually shelled out the $$ to buy one. He's a bit like a colour commentator on sports. Ramps it up to make the video more interesting but I think overall he's likely going to give it a fair evaluation. The reality is that if he trashes it for video, I don't "really" care as that's not why I ordered one. I just need adequate video for my purposes. Anything above that is a bonus.
