You never had to take any readings with any Pentax camera that supported AE. all you had to do was fire the shutter. NO reading was ever necessary. Fire Fire Fire..... That is what AE is automatic exposure, takes lighting, film speed and aperture into account at all times and fully automatically. No readings were needed. Fully Automatic shutter speed.

I dont think anyone is claiming that it supports AE in the same way as on older cameras. In any event on my Super A in AE mode the sutter speed is only updated to take into account a new apeture setting when I depress the shutter button slightly and hence turn on the light meter. If I leave it for a few more seconds the light meter turns itself off and I have to depress the button again. Admitedly when activated it then responds automatically to any apeture changes, but it is not that hard to dpress the green button on the *istD to do this manually. A. On 18/9/04 3:42 pm, "J. C.
