Pentax K-3 Mark III: Autofocus During Continuous Shooting

Hey! Today we took a quick example of the autofocus of the K-3 III in continuous shooting.

Please remember this was mostly done in one take 😊
Definitely not the most polished test, but results are results and we wish to present what we captured.

Premiere Pro for time stamps and counting shots:
Viewfinder:
00:49:11 to 00:52:09
It took 34 shots to fill the buffer. The first 20 image of the burst are acceptably focused but unfortunately the last third aren’t as my head pulls out of the focusing area and my daughter’s image fight for the subject recognition’s attention. If we were tracking the subject with the camera, it’s obvious we’d have a better hit rate. Not exactly what we were hoping for, but this is the result.

Live View:
01:17:20 to 01:20:25
It took about 36 shots to fill the buffer. ALL buffered shots are focused on my daughter and ALL but one or two of the very last images are acceptably focused.
