K7 Video bug and a few questions

Alfisti · 06-18-2010, 06:56 AM

I just got a K7 and i am blown away by the video quality, however I seem to have a small bug.

The audio and video play back on my PC at different speeds. The Audio sounds about right but the video seems a little slow, so if u take a 5 minute movie the video is some 30 to 45 seconds behind the audio.

Any ideas?

A few questions whilst I am at it .........

- Any way to auto focus once you start recording?

- Any way to remove the start up screen when you flick the camera on?

Thread moved to the video forum.

In response to the two other questions:
1. I believe you have to use the AF button
2. This is found somewhere in the menu

OK the sync is fine on Quicktime but messed up on MediaPlayer ... very odd.

There is no way to autofocus once you start recording. The only way is with manual focusing.
