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 sliding the select switch to the UP or
DOWN position until the desired speed appears on the
CENTIC 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 ( i )
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 (MSI 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 mode
can be done by combining the RTF with the AF400FTZ.
In this case, the AF400FTZ 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 at the "100"
(1/100 sec.) or "B" (bulb) settings.
