Trust the AF.

God I just wish I could say that even just once about my Pentax bodies.

In good light, with a DA40XS, the K-01 hits focus more often then not.
But when it's not,... it never recovers

I want to add this note to this thread so that everyone knows the Pentax K-1 will output clean HDMI. You have to turn off AF, Grid, etc. through the menu systems, but it will work. I can't yet tell you what the output will be (my guess is 720p at 30f).

I'll be the same as the K-3 was (yes, I've tried both with an Atomos Shogun) and be locked at 1080p30 during preview, then swap to 720p60 during record.

There is No 24p or 25p output, regardless of the frame rate and frame size the camera is set to record in, which is VERY annoying in PAL countries, or when shooting 24p for films.

Some of the overlays will turn back on the moment you press record on the camera.
