What you should know first about this camera
• The camera does not operate unless the batteries
are properly inserted. Be sure to check how they are
inserted before operating it. Also check if the mam
meter switch is set to ON or OFF.
• Most flashes made by others can be used on this
camera, but Pentax dedicated flashes will offer more
convenient functions. Even if you use a flash with
TTL auto flash provision, this camera does not
provide TTL auto flash operation.

Tubes, Microscope Adapter, etc. that are mounted
between the camera body and lens, this camera
operates in the Metered Manual mode. The
Programmed AE mode cannot be used.
