USING 100 $ SETTING When using a conventional clip-on-type flash on this camera, set the shutter dial to "100 $ " (1/100 sec./. Caution: If non-Pentax flashes whose dedicated functions are claimed to work also with cameras of other brands are used with this camera, they may well cause malfunction and damage to the electronic mechanism. As illustrated, align "100 $ " with the red-line index. Set the aperture ring of your SMC Pentax-A/ -F lens to any f-stop other than A. • When using a conventional flash, select an appropriate f-stop according to the camera-tosubject distance or the program of the flash. (Refer to the instructions accompanying the flash.) • When using a sync-cord-type flash, use an optional accessory: Hot Shoe Adapter 2P. • This "100 $ " setting can be used for non-flash photography, but since the meter does not function at this setting, you can in no way make sure of correct exposure. • 32
