Video Controls

In addition to focus, which can be set manually using the lens ring, the K-01 has the ability to adjust shutter speed, aperture, and ISO in video mode. Not only are these three exposure controls adjustable in movie mode, but they can also be set manually during recording. You just have to make sure the camcorder is set to manual exposure control in the video menu first (the menu also has options for Program and Aperture-priority video recording).

Audio Features

The K-01 is not equipped with a wind cut feature, however sound levels for both the internal stereo mics and any optional external mic may be adjusted independently.
