(11) USING A PENTAX DEDICATED ACCESSORY FLASH Use a Pentax dedicated accessory flash unit for increased flash range and improved versatility. Using the TTL Auto Flash 1. Remove the Hot Shoe Cover FE and attach a Pentax dedicated flash unit. 2. Set the flash to TTL Auto mode. Set the camera to any of the Picture Modes, Programmed AE Mode or Aperture Priority AE Mode. 3. Move the flash's main switch to ON. 4. Ensure that the flash is fully charged. After the flash ready lamp is lit, if you depress the shutter release button halfway down, I y I comes on in the viewfinder. • After the flash is fully charged, the shutter speed varies in the range of 1/100 to 1/30 sec. according to the ambient brightness. The slowest shutter speed depends on the lens focal length. However, when a lens made before the Pentax A series lens is in use or when the Action Program Mode is in use, the camera uses the shutter speed of 1/100 sec. 5. Focus on the subject and take a flash photograph. • In the Shutter-Priority AE or Metered Manual Exposure Mode, slow-speed-sync photography is possible. (See page 77.) • When the camera is in the Picture Mode (except the Green Operation Mode) or Programmed AE Mode, turning the Select Dial lets you use HyperProgram-Shift,allowing you to change a shutter speed/aperture combination. The shiftable shutter speed/aperture combination range depends on an aperture range that couples with a shutter speed of 1/100 sec. or slower. When a shutter speed becomes slow, camera shake is likely to blur your picture, so use a tripod.

USING
A
PENTAX
DEDICATED
ACCESSORY
FLASH
Use
a
Pentax
dedicated
accessory
flash
unit
for
increased
flash
range
and
improved
versatility.
Using
the
TTL
Auto
Flash
1.
Remove
the
Hot
Shoe
Cover
FE
and
attach
a
Pentax
dedicated
flash
unit.
2.
Set
the
flash
to
TTL
Auto
mode.
Set
the
camera
to
any
of
the
Picture
Modes,
Programmed
AE
Mode
or
Aperture
Priority
AE
Mode.
3.
Move
the
flash's
main
switch
to
ON.
4.
Ensure
that
the
flash
is
fully
charged.
After
the
flash
ready
lamp
is
lit,
if
you
depress
the
shutter
release
button
halfway
down,
I
y
I
comes
on
in
the
viewfinder.
•
After
the
flash
is
fully
charged,
the
shutter
speed
varies
in
the
range
of
1/100
to
1/30
sec.
according
to
the
ambient
brightness.
The
slowest
shutter
speed
depends
on
the
lens
focal
length.
However,
when
a
lens
made
before
the
Pentax
A
series
lens
is
in
use
or
when
the
Action
Program
Mode
is
in
use,
the
camera
uses
the
shutter
speed
of
1/100
sec.
5.
Focus
on
the
subject
and
take
a
flash
photograph.
•
In
the
Shutter
-Priority
AE
or
Metered
Manual
Exposure
Mode,
slow
-speed
-sync
photography
is
possible.
(See
page
77.)
•
When
the
camera
is
in
the
Picture
Mode
(except
the
Green
Operation
Mode)
or
Programmed
AE
Mode,
turning
the
Select
Dial
lets
you
use
Hyper
Program
-Shift,
allowing
you
to
change
a
shutter
speed/aperture
combination.
The
shiftable
shutter
speed/aperture
combination
range
depends
on
an
aperture
range that
couples
with
a
shutter
speed
of
1/100
sec.
or
slower.
When
a
shutter
speed
becomes
slow,
camera
shake
is
likely
to
blur
your
picture,
so
use
a
tripod.
