Common Functions of TTL Auto Flash and Programmed Auto Flash Modes In the Metered Manual mode, slow-shutter-speed synchronization can be used by selecting a shutter speed between 1/60 second and one second. The shutter speed can be selected by turning the select dial to the left or right until the desired speed appears on the LCD panel. • When the shutter speed is set between 1/2000 second and 1/125 second, it is switched to the flash-sync speed of 1/100 second when the flash is fully charged. Flash Confirmation Signal ( When a proper flash exposure is made in the TTL Auto Flash or Programmed Auto Flash mode while the camera is set in an AE or Metered Manual mode, the flash-ready indicator [ in the viewfinder confirms it right after the discharge, either by disappearing for a moment and coming back on again or by blinking. * The AF200SA does not have the flash confirmation signal function. Precautions for Using Pentax Dedicated Flash Units • When using a flash unit in the manual sync (MS) or manual (M) mode, select an f-number using the lens aperture ring. If the ring is set at the "A" position, a correct exposure cannot be made. The functions in the MS and M modes may vary depending on the type of flash used, so check the operating manual of the flash in use for details. • Multi-flash photography in the TTL Auto Flash or Programmed Auto Flash mode can be done by combining the RTF with the Pentax dedicated flash. In this case, the dedicated flash attached to the camera's hot shoe has a priority for different functions over the RTF. When combining conventional dedicated flash units, use the lens aperture ring to select the aperture. Be sure to check the flash-ready indicator of the attached flash unit before shooting. • The TTL Auto Flash or Programmed Auto Flash mode can be used even when the camera is set in the [bulbi mode. • When mounting the AF080C ring flash on the camera's hot shoe, use the Hot-shoe Adapter F which makes it easier to operate the shutter-release button. 51•

Precautions
for
Using
Pentax
Dedicated
Flash
Units
•
When
using
a
flash
unit
in
the
manual
sync
(MS)
or
manual
(M)
mode,
select
an
f-number
using
the
lens
aperture
ring.
If
the
ring

for
details.
•
Multi
-flash
photography
in
the
TTL
Auto
Flash
or
Programmed
Auto
Flash
mode
can
be
done
by
combining
the
RTF
with
the
Pentax
dedicated
flash.
In
this
case,
the
dedicated
flash
attached
to
the
camera's
hot
shoe
has
a
priority
for
different
functions
over
the
RTF.
When
combining
conventional
dedicated
flash
units,
use
the
lens
aperture
ring
to
select
the
aperture.
Be
sure
to
check
the
flash

is
set
in
the
[bulbi
mode.
•
When
mounting
the
AF080C
ring
flash
on
the
camera's
hot
shoe,
use
the
Hot
-shoe
Adapter
F
which
makes
it
easier
to
operate
the
shutter
-release
button.
