These are the very first video clips I shot with the K-70 last month to test the look and quality.
It was shot in the Muted Profile with +1 sharpen in-camera, so nothing else was touched in post production.
Sort of a basic starting point from which I will adjust the settings next time.
Oh!! And please excuse the shaky tripod, the wind was quite nasty at times... and I was cold

1080 24p
Lenses:
HD Pentax DA 20-40mm f/2.8-4 ED Limited
Pentax SMC-DA* 50-135mm f/2.8

Many thanks for sharing Joshua. Very heartening!

Any tips about using the video function?

Uhmm... get a sturdy tripod?

lol
I would use the same Muted profile again, I feel I can adjust in post production pretty good from there.
I was shooting 24p so I always tried to keep my shutter speed at 1/50th.
I plan on doing more video so I will pick up a bit more tips the more I use this camera. But thats all I have for now.
Thanks for watching Des!

What did you use for the vlogging portion? I need something for vlogging with my k-01 :3

It looks good though, certainly functional.

Oh right I forgot to mention that. I used my HD 15mm f/4 Limited on the K-70 and carried it on the tripod under my arm. The camera is still within arms reach to hit the AF button and get the focus locked in.
The main reason I bought the K-70 was for the rotating screen for just such purposes.

Nice.

Quality wise, it looks pretty much on par with the rest of the Pentax family.

Muted profile is definitely the way to go if you're planning for post production.

I do something similar with a light weight tripod, but as a shoulder rig, when I've left the real rig at home.... And that first minute, in the rain,..yuuuuup.
