3. Set the desired f-stop
• When an F or FA lens is used, an approximate aper¬
ture 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 ap¬
proximate aperture indication will appear in the view¬
finder.
• When lenses other than an FA and F series are used,
use either the center-weighted metering or the spot
metering. The multi-segment metering mode cannot
be used.
.
• When the Pentax A50mm f/1.2 lens is in use 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-metering mode. As the ex¬
posure will come out aprox.l stop overexposed, set
*
the lens aperture ring to [ A ] or adjust the exposure de¬
liberately approx. 1 stop under.
* Exposure Warning
If the subject is too bright or too dark, the selected shut¬
ter 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 large 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 ob¬
tain 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.
