Pentax P5 - Using 100 (1;100 Sec.)

USING 100 (1/100 sec.)
When using a general, clip-on type flash on this
camera, the camera must be set to 100 (1/100 sec.).
Although this 1/100 sec. setting can be used for
an ordinary picture taking purpose, you cannot
confirm correct exposure through the viewfinder.
Set the lens aperture to an f-stop other than A. Set
the main switch to ON. Display "100" in the LCD
window by depressing the UP or DOWN button
while pushing the mode button. As you depress
the shutter button halfway, "M" appears in the
viewfinder.
Caution: Do not use the non-Pentax-brand flashes
whose dedicated functions also work with other
cameras, because they may cause malfunctions or
damage the electronic mechanisms of this camera.
• When using a general clip-on type flash, select
the proper f-stop according to the camera-to-
subject distance or the programmed f-stop of
the flash. (Refer to the flash's operating manual).
• When using a sync-cord-type flash, use the optional
Hot-shoe Adapter 2P.
