Still works as an application.
Unfortunately it's functionality seems a bit hit and miss now. My daughter likes to use it to watch videos of herself, but after a recent Windows update, it seems to have stopped playing the video clips. I can maybe try compatibility mode to see if the videos will play.
Mind you the same Windows update messed up the graphics card drivers on the PC concerned and I had to force it to use the Nvidia screen settings rather than Windows settings to avoid getting a green screen.
Talk about a throw back to the 80s!

I know Pentax isn't renowned for video, perhaps I should say it's notorious for video - for all the wrong reasons, but these school holidays, I started playing around with timelapse on the K-70, and I'm pleasantly surprised. I don't really need live AF, or many of the other areas where Pentax falls down on video, as the camera will be on a tripod, so stabilisation is irrelevant, but I did find the K-70 is far easier to set up and customise for timelapse than the K-50.
I haven't tried it in 4K mode as I don't have anything to display 4K on, but full HD seems to work OK.
I didn't buy the K-70 for timelapse, and I didn't even check its upgraded specs for this functionality before I bought it, but I think I like it. I'm sure other makes will do even better, but still it's nice to discover an unexpected feature that works quite well.
