Pentax K1000 User Manual

USING NEW SMC PENT AX ·A LENS
The Kl000 camera is primarily designed to work
more suitably with the SMC Pentax or SMC
Pentax-M lenses. Therefore, when you use the SMC
Pentax-A lens like the standard lens on your Kl000
camera, it must be operated slightly differently
from the other two types. Namely, be sure to set
the diaphragm ring to any proper f-stop other than
"A" (Auto). (If the diaphragm is accidentally set to
the A position, it will automatically be set to the
minimum f-stop, causing improper ~xposure to be
made.!
- To release the diaphragm ring from the A position ,
just turn the ring, as illustrated, in the direction of
the arrow while -depressing the Aperture Auto Lock
Button also indicated by the arrow.
