The SF10 has Programmed AE, Aperture priotity AE, shutter priority AE and metered manual.
The 'spot' metering is only availabe in the metered manual and when memory lock enabled/engaged. Pentax doesn't call it 'spot', they call it TTL central area metering. -----Original Message----- From: Ivan Imhof [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 10:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: sf10 metering modes Hello, I need some help, could anybody tell me, which metering modes the SF10 has and how can be activated? I've tried to browse the net, but I couldn't found much information. I've seen on Bojidar Dimitrov's page the followings: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Metering with A, F and FA Lenses: M2 iii, S ii Metering with K and M Lenses: C i, S ii i = In Av exposure mode with ML not engaged. ii = When M exposure mode or when ML is engaged. iii = In Av, Tv, or P exposure modes with ML not engaged ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- I'm still confused, because I couldn't find any related information in the manual. So how can I activate the spot metering with AF or K/M lenses? Is it activated automatically in Manual mode, when the exposure mode different from Av? What is the meaning of "ML engaged/not engaged"? (sorry for the stupid question)... Thanks and cheers, Ivan (MuzX) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
