This is definately cool that you can get this access, but would be even better if they built a gimble and allow you to control the camera together with zoom and shutter. Otherwise, this is just a little bit better than a remote shutter.
- slantyyz 8y agoWell, with the SDK, you can build your own gimbal and control the camera's shutter... which I guess is the point of releasing the SDK in the first place - let users make neat stuff that Pentax won't/can't make itself. I'm not too sure about zoom though. Unless the lens is a power zoom that's controllable from the body, you'd probably be better off making your own mechanism to control the zoom.
- mark-r 8y agoPentax tried power zoom years ago and gave up on it rather quickly. The mount contacts that they created for it were repurposed when they introduced in-lens focus motors.
