* When the Hyper Programmed AE mode is changed to the Aperture-Priority AE mode with the Ay direct dial, any aperture can be set within the shutter speed range depending on the focal length of the lens mounted on the camera. If the automatic shift of shutter speed is canceled using a Pentax function No.5 selection 1, any available aperture between the minimum to the maximum can be selected. See page 101. Hyper Manual Mode * When using the built-in flash in the Hyper-Manual mode, any combination usage of the aperture and the shutter speed slower than 1/250 sec. can be selected. * If the Pentax function No.7 selection 1 is set (See page 102), a shutter speed changes to slower which can be used as a slow-shutter-speed flash synco mode. Calculating Flash Effective Distance According to the Selected Aperture Maximum flash distance = GN ÷ Selected aperture Minimum flash distance = Maximum flash distance ÷ 4.9 When the distance to the subject is less than 0.7m, flash cannot be used. If the flash is used within that distance, it causes vignetting the picture corners, light is distributed unevenly and the picture may be overexposured. The value 4.9 used in the formula above was obtained from the builtin flash. Guide Number is referred to as GN. Calculating the aperture according to the camera-tosubject distance If the calculated aperture value is the one other than an f-stop on the aperture ring, for instance f/3, choose the next smallest aperture ring (f2.8 in this case). The guide numbers depend upon the film speed used as shown below. ISO 25 -> GN 7 ISO 200 --. GN 20 ISO 50 -= GN 10 ISO 400 --> GN 28 ISO 100 --+ GN 14 z C) If an ISO 100 film is used at an aperture of f/3.5, the O flash effective distance is obtained as follows: m GN14 f3.5=4 O 4 4.9= Approx.0.8m Thus, flash effective distance range is from approx. 0.8m to 4m.
