Hello, best thing is it works with K lenses and spot metering.
Martin DN> Well turns out it was all in the .pdf accompanying the 1.10 upgrade DN> anyway (but hey, who reads the manuals?) DN> http://pentaxusa.com/products/cameras/istd_fw111/istD_fw_111.pdf DN> Below is the relevant section from the notes at the end. The method that DN> they mention of holding DOF switch, fiddling aperture ring and pressing DN> green button for correct shutter speed is also quite handy. Now I really DN> feel I could use a K lens! (-: DN> "·When you activate depth-of-field preview (p.138 in the operating DN> manual), the DN> metering switch will also activate. DN> · If you press the green button when depth-of-field preview is DN> activated, the camera DN> will still select the appropriate shutter speed to obtain the correct DN> exposure. DN> · With depth-of-field preview activated, you can change the shutter DN> speed using the DN> Tv or Av dials. DN> · If you are using an SMC Pentax or SMC Pentax-M lens, the camera will use DN> center-weighted metering, even if multi-segment metering mode is selected." DN> David
