Pentax K-3 Mark III: Overview Training

[@Deetroiter]

One of the best camera tutorials I’ve seen yet on KZbin. And I like how you were thorough in everything, including showing the inside of the camera without the lens on. So many people act like it’s Armageddon if the lens is off more than a few seconds. Dust is inevitable and is already everywhere. Only way you’re not going to get it on anything is to never actually use your camera. Thanks again for an awesome video!

Precise concise information beautifully explained 👍 Tam.

😂happiness achieved. Firmware v2.0 with Catch in Focus... using 300mm A*, 67 165mm w/Pentax APSC adapter is beautiful!

[@paulvanekeren3069]

Thank you very much for this clear overview. So many options on this camera, I will have to check the manual several times and now there us also the possibility to (re)view this ecxelent training video.

What a beautiful tool. I love dslrs.

[@bittertruth6175]

Extremely Valuable. Very well explained. Still watching...

[@davehollander6543]

This is exactly what I needed--thanks so much!

After Leica, Pentax may be only company in the planet to introduce Monochrome version of K3 at a reasonable price. Also loaded with amazing features. I am An old Canon camper of last 40 years. Sold and selling all my Canon stuff and fully devoted to Pentax Monochrome. Any one serious about photography, it has to be Black & White except nature photography...Pentax addressed need of million serious armatures who can't even dream about Leica, insane prices.

How has that k3 iii mono been? I'm looking to get back into pentax and debating on the normal k3iii or mono

[@bittertruth6175]

I simply don't like color photography. That is the reason sold all my Canon stuff. Do you like color or B&W? If color, your question is irrelevant.

Fantastic camera and a great clip. Thank you for sharing this, it helps get to know the new mk111 and bring it to life.

[@deniscleaver7544]

I love this camera, way to go Pentax! Very well explained info which is extremely useful, thanks.

[@l.nauwelaerts195]

Thank you very much for all the time and effort you are putting in making these videos.

[@deanroslynmengel5575]

Brilliantly done - thank you

[@wrona6667]

Beautiful camera and a lot new added functions which would be great to have on my K1ii but I like very much my K1ii and I won’t switch :P. And unfortunately or fortunately I don’t need second camera (heh maybe some cheaper one like KP or K70 for trips on bike, but I can handle K1 for those trips but need to drive more carefully, it’s little heavy with my favorite dfa * 50)

[@amwunderhaus1754]

Thank you! So helpful!

I can't listen to it without commenting, SR was, I repeat was, a great advantage of Pentax for many years. But other companies have not only created their systems within a few years, but they are even better than what Pentax offers us here. As an 18-year-old pentaxian, I notice this issue.

[@theharper1]

Great overview! It will need to be updated to cover the new features added with firmware updates, like additional colour modes (satobi and miyabi) and Astrotracer 3. :)

[@pentax8630]

Well done. You cover a lot of ground.

[@joelee24]

Thanks for the detailed tutorial, this model is quite different from the original K3 that I am still using, there are lot of changes on the menu. Since I don't have this camera I don't know if it can be controlled and preset via computer, to save time digging into the rather complicated menu.

[@dennisbuss212]

A very helpful overview of how my new K-3 iii works. Do you have any plans for writing a book based on your videos? It would make a great reference for those who would like to study the camera menu options in a more deliberate manner. Thanks for your consideration.

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

There already is a book written almost word for word what is said in the video... It's called the manual!! Seriously all this video is doing is pretty much literally reading straight from the manual and showing in person what it is that they are reading. This is literally just a video version of the manual.

[@robertandersson331]

thanks

[@publiusbrutus894]

Thank you for the review, but there is one thing that concerns me and I can't find an answer: off-camera flash. My K-5 had a pop-up that I used as a control to fire my 540FGZ remotely. Can the K-3 use a shoe mounted flash for the same purpose and do I need another 540 or can I use the cheeper 201FG as the control? If you have any ideas or suggestions I would be greatful.

[@lelanddyer9461]

Y'all gonna add some updates for the firmware releases?

[@odemata87]

Does the K3 mkiii have a leaf shutter?

[@sobolanul82]

No, vertical focal plane.

[@anglerrem]

Although this tutorial is excellent you speak so fast it’s tough to have time to absorb the data in real time. I’m on my third time watching and pausing to take notes . This is an awesome camera

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

You realize you can slow the video down....? Go to the settings in the video. Click on the gear icon in the corner of the video and you will see option to slow down the video
