Re: Z1-p-flash and M-lenses
Whenever you mount a "M" lens on the z1p it locks the auto exposure modes at 1/250th. Not sure why, just does. When I'm using a M lens I always set the camera to Hyper Manual mode.

Re: Z1-p-flash and M-lenses
Well, now you are going to drive me back to the books because my PZ-1p was always selecting 1/60 sec and I had to find a setting to make it choose 1/250 sec. Which I did, and now it chooses 1/250th every time.

Re: Z1-p-flash and M-lenses
Hej Peter. I don't think the camera is faulty. AFAIK, max flash sync. speed is only a property of the shutter, and has nothing to do with the lens. Maybe something to do with how older flashes work? -Dunno... I have used an AF400-T and the built-in flash together with a M-100/2.8 some times. The only problem I had was that the two flashes didn't communicate, so there were no contrast-control in the camera.

Z1-p-flash and M-lenses
I recently got two older lenses for my Z1-p - the M SMC 2,8:28 and the M SMC 3,5:135. According to my (swedish) camera-manual when using the in-built flash or external flashes with lenses made before the Pentax A-series the Z1-p should use a shutter speed of 1/60 s in whichever mode. Actually, however, it always sets the shutter speed to 1/250 s - at least according to the viewfinder and LCD-display. Does the Z1-p have a problem or is the manual wrong? Maybe any Z-1p-user can find an answer or has a better manual. Thanks Peter - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
