Pentax P5 Manual page 8

PRECAUTIONS
• This camera does not operate unless the batteries
are correctly placed in the chamber. Be sure to
insert them correctly. Also make sure the main
switch is set to ON when you start operating
the camera.
• Although most electronic flashes made by other
manufacturers can be used with your camera,
Pentax dedicated flashes offer more convenient
ways of operation, with an exception that TTL
Auto Flash photography is not possible with this
camera.
• When using the accessories such as Auto Extension
Tubes, Microscope Adapter, etc. that are mounted
between the camera body and lens, set the camera
to the Aperture-Priority AE or Metered Manual
mode. The Programmed AE mode is not workable.
• To read the exposure before you release the shutter
with the Motor Drive A attached, depress
the camera's shutter-release button half-way. If you
depress the Motor Drive's trigger button,
the shutter speed will not appear in the viewfinder
and LCD window until after the exposure is made.
