To obtain the proper exposure, turn either the select switch or lens aperture ring until the dot is displayed in the center of the bar graph in the viewfinder. • When the shutter release button is depressed halfway down, the shutter speed, approximate aperture and bar graph will be displayed in the viewfinder. When lenses other than an F or FA lens is used, no approxi- mate aperture indication will appear in the viewfinder. • Turn either the select switch or lens aperture ring until the dot is displayed in the center of the bar graph. When the dots are displayed to the [0 ] side on the [e] bar graph, it indicates overexposure and when the dots are displayed to the side, it indicates under- exposure. • Moving one dot on the bar graph indicates 0.5 step [el (0.5EV). However, when under or over exposure is set beyond + 2 or - 2 steps (2EV), [0] or in- dicator will blink. • When using a Pentax- A 50mm f/1.2 lens with the lens aperture ring set other than the A position, the center weighted metering mode will be set instead of the multi-metering mode. As the exposure will come out about 1 stop over, set the lens aperture ring to [ A ], or adjust the exposure deliberately 1 stop under. * Exposure Warning If the subject is too bright or too dark, both shutter speed and aperture setting will blink in the viewfinder as a warning as shown. It means that the exposure is out of metering range, unable to obtain a correct exposure even if the aperture is adjusted. Select a darker subject or use a flash if it is too dark.
