Programmed Auto Flash Mode When you use a Pentax dedicated auto flash on this camera in its Programmed AE mode, the camera automatically selects the proper aperture and shutter speed to control flash output for proper flash pictures. • The camera does not operate unless the batteries are properly inserted. Be sure to check how they are i4 inserted before operating it. Also check if the main meter switch is set to ON or OFF. • Most flashes made by others can be used on this camera, but Pentax dedicated flashes will offer more convenient functions. Even if you use a flash with TTL auto flash 4t, provision, this camera does not provide TTL auto flash operation. • When you use the accessories such as Extension Tubes, Microscope Adapter, etc. that are mounted between the camera body and lens, this camera operates in the Aperture-priority AE or Metered Manual mode. The Programmed AE mode cannot be used.
