Interesting. The manual AFAICT (K-5 II) doesn't even explain what changes during a bracket exposure. I pretty much only used TAv mode during my cruise rental, which does change the shutter speed (although I vaguely recall seeing some shots where the aperture and/or ISO changed, and I have no idea what caused the difference). Pentax significantly reorganized the K-5 II manual, it's page 247 there. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
