Pentax P5 - Page 6

FEATURES
When this camera is combined with an SMC Pentax-A
lens, it offers five exposure modes: two Programmed
AE modes, Aperture-Priority AE, Metered Manual, and
Programmed Auto Flash modes. The Programmed
AE mode can be used by setting the lens aperture
to A, and the Metered Manual or Aperture-Priority
AE mode by setting the aperture to an f-stop other
than A.
• When using a Pentax K- or Kf-mount lens on your
camera, use the Aperture-Priority AE or Metered
Manual mode.
Programmed AE Mode
The camera automatically selects the proper
combination of shutter speed and aperture for
correct exposure, simultaneously changing
the combination according to the brightness of
a subject. This mode is suitable for those who do
not want to be bothered by setting exposure controls
but want to concentrate on shutter chances. This
camera offers the following two kinds of program
modes.
Program Action Mode
The Program Action mode enables you to use faster
shutter speeds. It is suitable for those who wish to
take "action" photographs, and becomes a big help
when you wish to avoid camera-shake that causes
blurred pictures.
