Still can't figure out how Movie mode works on the kx:
If I set my ISO at 200, select aperture in Movie settings at Fixed, use an old M42 Tak set at 5.6, what the hell is the camera doing to give me proper exposure? Is it changing the ISO? (And as I understand, once you pull the trigger on a clip you're shooting, it locks in your initial exposure--it doesn't change it on the fly as you're shooting.)
Or is the camera changing the shutter speed? And I can't understand how shutter speed has anything to do with video, although I suspect it does based on some reading I've done.
Help!

Originally posted by Just1MoreDave I can shoot movies in B&W on my K-7. In Movie mode, I can press the right button on the 4 way controller and choose from the same 8 JPEG Custom Image settings, and adjust 7 parameters for those (including "Filter Effect"). The K-7 is cheap now, but think seriously about any high-ISO use. I go over ISO 1600 for less than 2% of my shots. I can't take a video to save my life so I have no relevant video advice.
Okay, and thanks! Because unless I'm missing something, you can't do any of this shite on the kx.
And I'm a low ISO guy, so you don't have to sell me on that point!
