Hi Pentaxian friends.
For those who didn't have a chance to attend, you missed a very good presentation. Jasper is a very nice guy and what I learned about video with the K-7 was really informative. It would take many months of practice on your own before discovering the "tricks of the trades" that Jasper showed us. Today's DSLRs are equipped with great video capabilities and not to use that is missing the boat. In technology, you either stay with it or you're left behind, and we all know how fast technology is advancing. What a great era we live in.
It's amazing what you can do with the DSLRs with video capabilities. First of all, because of their smaller size, when compared to professional video film making equipment, you can place the DSLRs in locations not possible with pro-videocams. Because the lenses are interchangeable and the sensors of DSLRs are bigger than videocams, you have mouh more lattitude with the depth of field. There are a lot of advantage in shooting videos with DLRs, but instead of expanding this post at this time, Jasper has accepted my interview invitation. In the coming weeks, I will conduct an interview with Jasper about the advantages of using DSLRs for short films, and how he used the K-7 in the making of Uncle Jack and the actual short movie Uncle Jack. The presentation at Samy's Santa Ana was a success, The room was full and chairs had to be brought in as there wasn't enough stations.
If you have any reasonable questions you would like me to include in this interview, add them to the comments section of this blog.

Wow, I used your links to watch "Uncle Jack" and "the making of "...it is very impressive.
I'm wondering how good the quality would be if you freeze one frame to use as a still ? When relatives ask for a portrait it can be hard to capture an expression or "look" that they are happy with. Picking one frame out of a video would help if it was useable.
I'm still using the K10D so have no idea :)
John,
While playing the video back, you can pause and press the AE-L button. The camera will save that frame as a JPG file but it will be a small file. The file will be okay for sharing on the internet and small prints, but anything over 5" x 7" will not be as sharp as you would usually get from a full JPG file.
