The ME will only set the shutter speed if you use a Pentax dedicated flash. The Vivitar 285 is not a dedicated flash. Neither the ME, nor the 285 are TTL capable.

Use the 100X setting, or slower. Set the f-stop to one suggested on the flash dial, and the flash to that also.

Use the 100x setting. The sensor is in the prism and will be blocked by the mirror during exposure.

IF I use the 285 with it, can I use the auto
setting
on the ME? Or do I use the 100x setting ?

Will it TTL with the 285?

I'm trying to be economical and not try to guess
too much :)

Thanks Guys,
