Note: • When an F or FA lens is used, an approximate aperture indication will appear in the viewfinder when the shutter release button is depressed halfway. When lenses other than an F or FA series are used, no approximate aperture indication will appear in the viewfinder. • When a lens with no lens information contact is used, the center-weighted metering mode is automatically set. • If the SMC Pentax 50mm f/1.2 lens is used with the lens aperture ring set at a position other than the [ A ] position, the center-weighted metering mode will be set instead of the multi-segment metering mode. As the exposure will come out 1 stop overexposed, set the lens aperture ring to [ A ] or adjust the exposure deliberately to 1 stop under. Exposure Warning If the subject is too bright or too dark, the selected shutter speed will blink in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel as a warning as shown. When the subject is too bright, choose a smaller aperture, if available; when it is too dark, choose a larger aperture, if available. When the shutter speed indication stops blinking, you can take the picture. If both shutter and aperture blink, 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 if it is too bright, or use a flash if it is too dark.
