Unique exposure Modes
You'll always get the right exposure and with
the settings you want. Shooting with the K10D
in the Program Automatic Mode offers a Hyper
Program (Shift Function) to instantly change the
shutter speed or aperture. When you change
either of these settings, the other exposure
parameter automatically changes accordingly
for proper exposure. The Hyper Program func-
tion is accessible by two ergonomically placed
dials on the front and the back of the camera.
The K10D presents multiple options for auto-
matic exposure. The new Sensitivity-Priority AE
(Sv) mode, is designed to automatically select
the optimum combination of aperture and shut-
ter speed for a user-selected sensitivity. In the
Sv mode you can shift the sensitivity simply by
turning a dial. The Shutter-Priority (Tv) mode
lets you choose the optimal shutter speed and
the Aperture-Priority (Av) mode lets you select
the appropriate aperture. Another exposure
mode offered by the K10D is Shutter & Aperture-
Priority AE (TAv), which is designed to
automatically select the most appropriate
sensitivity for a user-selected shutter speed
& aperture combination.
If you are working with PENTAX F,- FA-, DA- or
DFA- series lenses, you can benefit from the MTF
data: a microchip in the lens passes information
to the camera regarding the optically optimal and
lens-specific aperture to use.
