Hi all,

Wanting to improve the result I added sharpness to the videos as well as some additional corrections. The cilp is very short , just to check the improvement , if any..

Sample 2 - did you leave the IS on? Seems to warp when you pan left.

Which colour profile are you using?
I find the 'Muted' profile is the safest for when you plan to do proper colour grading, and natural turned down a little for almost everything else.

All the samples the IS is on and also Natural color profile.
I will try the Muted. Thanks

Kill the IS too - Pentax's software IS sux ballz.
The rest of the post processing looks like you're getting pretty good results.

Thanks , the differences are subtle but existent.

The data rate is stupidly low and causes over compression colour blotching errors, especially at 1600 and 3200 ISO, but because Pentax doesn't clip the sensors dynamic range for video the way most other manufacturers do, if you shoot carefully lit and framed video, you can pull more detail back in colour grading then one should expect from any DSLR or MILC.

Once you dial in to what works best for your style of shooting, and matches the camera's ability and specification, you should be able to get great footage out of it.
Subtlety is the key
