For Those Who Thinks the K-01 is the "Best Pentax Video Camera Ever"..

"It is close, but not yet there"! This pro-user gave up! No matter how he had tried to make it, but in vain! >:-(

In short, the two killing major technical problems and design limitations:-

1. Focus peaking is not available during video recording (but then this is essentially a MF cam);

2. Video/HDMI video-out works ONLY in PLAYBACK mode, but NOT in RECORDING mode!

So, the Prime M processor is yet helpless. In fact, my ancient NEX-3 does a better job here, regarding the above.
