Can you adjust image color parameters in movie mode? Can you shoot in black and white straight from the camera?

How to focus in video mode?

Someone had a question about using a video monitor and I accidentally removed the comment. Check out the Vimeo group for the K-x. There is a ton of great info over there.

i want to buy this camera , but i herd it has issuses with batery power? true ?

[ernestryles]

@thus69r the firmware update fixed most problems, and that was only with a certain type of rechargables

[Naskho]

@thus69r No... I brought it and it works just fine. Still using the first set of batteries... :-) And already filmed 40 minutes.

just update the firmware and issues get fixed.

Also an advice from a Pentax Tech support technician that I contacted before buying this cam was to use batteries from 1600 mAh or more ONLY, I purchased a 1700 mAh sony and they are working great. Great camera.

i can hardly see any difference. where's the difference??

[pentaxkxfan]

I personally don't see a difference either, although at full screen on a large 30"+ monitor you might see it.

I just got my K-x today and I plan on doing alot of video with it. I'd agree that the quality of the different settings seems almost undetectable based on these comparisons. I'll probably shoot on the medium setting since it saves alot of space. Thanks for the vid!

thanks for sharing!

I would like to buy it too!

I would ask u what do u see inside the pentamirror, both when u take a picture and make a video.

thanks!

When shooting video my experience is that you have access only to the Live View LCD. The viewfinder blacks out completely. Not sure why. This is using the kit 18-55 and an older 55-80.

[torniaccio]

thanks for the reply, but could you tell me please what do you see inside the pentamirror when you take a single picture (in 'normal' camera mode i mean)? Thanks

[pentaxkxfan]

On the bottom edge of the viewfinder below the image there is a small ribbon display with real time info about exposure, aperture, shutter speed, etc. It is definitely a nice feature to have (pretty common)  so you don't have to pull back and look at the lcd to check settings.
