3. Turn either the shutter dial or lens aperture
ring until a dot is displayed In the center of
the bar graph at the right side of the viewfind¬
er.
Note:
When a lens other than an F or FA lens is used, no
approximate aperture indication will appear in the
viewfinder.
• When the dots are displayed to the [ + ] side on the
bar graph, it indicates overexposure and when the
dots are displayed to the [ - ] side, it indicates
underexposure. Moving one dot on the bar graph
indicates 0.5 step (0.5EV). However, when under
or over exposure is set beyond + 3 or 3 steps
(3EV), [ + 1 or [ - ] indicator will blink.
• In flash photography, when you use the flash sync
shutter speed of 1/100 second or a non-dedicated
external flash unit, set the shutter dial to the
[ 100 ^ ] (1/100 of second) position.
Note:
When a lens with no lens information contacts is
used, the center-weighted metering mode is auto¬
matically set. When using a SMC Pentax 50mm
f/1.2 lens with the lens aperture ring set other than
the A position, the center weighted metering mode
will be set instead of the multi-segment metering
mode. As the exposure will come out 1 stop over,
set the lens aperture ring to [ A ], or adjust the expo¬
sure deliberately to 1 stop under.
