Complementing the new APS-C sensor is the latest generation of Pentax’s PRIME ‘M’ image processor. This enables the K-01 to shoot continuously at a maximum of 5fps and to capture 1080p Full HD movies at 30fps. Movie sound is recorded in stereo by default and enthusiastic video shooters will also be pleased to discover that there’s an external microphone port on the side of the body.
