Attaching A Lens - Pentax K-5 Operating Manual

Attaching a Lens

Attach a proper lens to the camera's body.
When you use one of the following lenses with the X, all the camera's
exposure modes will be available.
(a) DA, DA L, D FA, FA J lenses
(b) Lenses with an s (Auto) position, when used in the s position
Turn the camera off before attaching or removing the lens to prevent
unexpected lens movement.
• When lenses described in (b) are used in a position other than s, some
functions will be restricted. Refer to "Notes on [27. Using Aperture Ring]"
(p.339).
• With factory default setting, the camera will not work with lenses other than
those listed above and accessories. Set [27. Using Aperture Ring] to
[Permitted] in the [A Custom Setting 4] menu to use them. (p.339)
