It does tell you that you're out of range. The chosen ap or shutter
speed blinks when out of range in Av or Tv mode. But it's easy to
ignore the blinking in the heat of battle.

To me it looks like the first three was out of the range of posible
aperures.

I agree... but I thought, maybe falsely, that when in Program AE modes, the
shutter would not trip if an improper exposure combination was chosen.

Two basic issues:
1. Why the gross overexposure at slow shutter speeds?
Because you were shooting in shutter priority, and set the shutter speed
to a value (1 second) that would require the lens to stop down to a very
small aperture (something like f88) in order to achieve proper exposure.
Yeah, that's one of the drawbacks of using some of the fancier automated
functions. I have tended to lose my intuition and let the camera think
for me.

Hi ALex,
But that's now what page 60 of the manual says...
However it's what 61 says...
I fail to understand why Pentax even has a dedicated
shutter-priority/aperture-priority setting on the mode dial when
10 matches
