watched all videos, very comprehensive one suggestion: how about complementing these videos with on-field & Indoor review for photos, the way other reviewers do. You have done this for video part which is good, one for photo would be nice. :-)
one thing I find a bit disappointing about this camera is that among the RAW/Fx Green Button AE/AF-L Wifi button only the RAW/fx can really be customized, the AE/AF-L cannot be assigned function like we can for RAW/Fx The wifi button is really wasted, it cannot be assigned anything other than wifi or selfie shutter release. also the green button should have been customizable. Pentax should release a firmware update to add customization for these buttons. also IMO the video mode switch should have been the live view switch something like the D5500/D5300 has (or else generally customizable), the Live view button could then be assigned some other functionality. for me I would be extending the on/off switch to the video for like once/twice in a year. :-)
Thanks David, very good all 5 videos, I'm already a fan of the ks2. I am collecting money to buy it. You'd be so kind as to direct me with an idea to take pictures of the radiation emitted by cellular antennas. What should I try, temperature, any filter, or this is impossible.
The on thing that frustrates me with the KS2 and the wifi app is that the app cannot be used to control the video functions on the camera. Are there any apps out there that can do this?
No with Pentax, no. Their wifi control app is WAY behind. It would be great if they had the resources to spend some additional time getting it up to snuff. There's no reason that we shouldn't be able to control wifi-enabled Pentax bodies, in their entirety, from our photos. I mean, there's no reason that the menus and so forth couldn't be operated from a phone.
thanks,,,i am also following the pentax forums that is why k david became familiar to me.....so dave where in the PF can i get some basic settings on star streams or landscapes using the interval composite feature of the ks-2 or can you share me your settings?
I'm not sure if anyone has shared star stream settings yet. You can use the search function to find out if there's anything there. For interval composite, check out my past articles on Pentax shooting modes. I did a two-part article series that deals with still shooting modes and details how to use interval composite.
