Reply To: Disappointed experience with new K7

[Hans]

Hi Jozsef,

I have no experience with the K7 myself, but purely based on specifications I expect that the K7 should record better video than the K2. The K7 allows 2K resolution, the K2 has a maximum FHD resolution.
When I play your video I cannot choose a higher resolution than 1080p HD. Was the video recorded in 2K or in 1080? 1080p HD is then equal to the maximum resolution of the K2. What quality of video do you get if you choose 2K/30FPS? Okay, EIS may not be possible, but you should get better resolution. Try making recordings with different bit rates with this setting.
Where do you get the bitrate data from? I only see ‘low’, ‘normal’ or ‘high’. But specific numbers…
The bitrate is not only software dependent but also hardware dependent, so I doubt it can be easily adjusted in the source code alone.
The K7 cannot actually be compared to the K5. They both use different video sensors. The K5 can produce 4K video, the K7 a maximum of 2K.

Hopefully by trying different settings you can get better image quality.
