half-

way

down

after

on

the

LCD

panel

to

indicates

that

the

camera

is

ready

to

take

the

second

picture

at

any

time.

If

your

finger

lifts

up

from

the

shutter

release

button,

[

]

blinks

for

about

20

seconds

and

then

stays

on

to

indicate

that

the

camera

is

ready

to

take

an-

other

shot

in

the

auto

braketing

mode.

*

When

the

auto

bracketing

is

combined

with

the

self

-

timer

mode,

the

first

picture

is

taken

at

the

correct

exposure,

the

second

is

underexposure,

and

the

third

is

overexposure

automatically.

*

When

the

auto

is

set

very

narrow,

it

will

have

no

effect

when

using

negative

film

(espe-

cially

*

In

the

auto

bracketing

mode,

the

automati-

cally

measures

Auto

bracketing

exposure

with

flash

When

the

auto

bracketing

mode

is

selected

with

the

built-in

flash

or

a

Pentax

dedicated

flash

is

in

use,

the

auto

bracketing

mode

is

possible

by

varying

the

amount

as

the

discharged

flash

light.

This

function

is

useful

when

the

different

exposures

are

required

on

the

main

subject

with

the

same

exposure

level

as

the

back-

ground.

*

Before

taking pictures,

confirm

that

the

flash

is

fully

charged.

*

This

auto

brackenting

mode

works

properly

depend-

ing

on

the

distance

to

the

subject

or

the

aperture

set-

ting.

If

the

distance

to

the

subject

is

relatively

too

far,

the

flash

is

discharged

fully

to

obtain

the

correct

ex-

posure

for

the

first

picture,

but

overexposure

cannot

be

made

for

the

2nd

picture

because

the

flash

capac-

ity

may

be

used

up.
