What's the point of having all that resolution if I don't use it?
I should turn it down when I'm just fooling around. I took about twenty mediocre shots of a common grasshopper the other day, in glorious high resolution. What a waste of horsepower.
Originally posted by IsaacEastgate I'm thinking of using the 21fps burst mode and then compiling them in imagej or windows movie maker. that means my pentax now has a manual focus movie mode! With no sound, but i dont really care. Artistic video does not need sound, i might add a soundtrack even. And i think i can only do 5 seconds. Either way its a bit of fun thats not to be missed. Especially if you have a fisheye or something like this.
Sounds like a lot of effort for not much payoff. I'll use my p&s for movies. It has sound too.
Originally posted by IsaacEastgate I feel like i have overlooked the usefulness of many features of the camera. I ought to put a day aside to sit down with the manual ;p
such a feature packed camera, its amazing!
Yeah, I will never use all its capabilities. There are pages and pages of menus in that operating system. I think I'd be more likely to use some of the interesting stuff like computer synch if I could see someone do it.
