Pentax ZX-5 - Advanced Operation for the Built-In Retractable TTL Flash (RTF)

(9) ADVANCED OPERATION FOR THE BUILT-IN RETRACTABLE TTL FLASH (RTF)
Programmed AE Mode
• The camera automatically chooses an optimum com¬
bination of shutter speed and aperture according to
the subject brightness, allowing you to take a flash
photograph with ease.
• The shutter speed automatically changes to 1/100
sec. to a slower speed which does not cause camera
shake. The slowest shutter speed depends on the
focal length of the lens fitted to the camera. When a
non-AF lens is used, the camera uses the shutter
speed of 1/100 second.
Shutter-Priority AE Mode
• The shutter speed slower than 1/100 of second can
be set.
• In this mode, the aperture automatically changes ac¬
cording to the ambient brightness, making flash pho¬
tography easy.
Aperture-Priority AE Mode
In this mode, the shutter speed automatically changes
with the ambient brightness, making flash photography
easy. The shutter speed changes in the range from
1 /100 sec. to a slower shutter speed which does not
cause camera shake. The slowest shutter speed de¬
pends on the focal length of the lens in use. The shutter
speed of 1 /100 sec. is automatically set when a non¬
autofocus lens is in use.
Metered Manual Mode
• When using the built-in flash in the Metered Manual
Mode, any combination of aperture and shutter speed
slower than 1 /100 can be set. In this mode, the expo¬
sure of the background can be controlled by the man¬
ual exposure while the flash properly exposes the
foreground/subject.
