Changing settings in movie mode (k-x)

RealPotato · 01-16-2015, 05:08 PM

Hello, I've recently bought a Pentax k-x camera. The photo settings were great, I was able to accurately adjust the saturation and contrast before shooting a picture. However when I went to movie mode I didn't notice such options. Am I missing something or is there just no way to control those in video? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

As far as I'm aware, full manual video controls weren't added until the next generation of cameras, starting with the K-30.

The Manual on page 150 shows the Movie LV screen with Picture Style icon. I'd be surprised if the selected style isn't applied. Certainly it was possible with the K-7 which was the first Pentax DSLR to have video.
