Right. The DS body's built-in flash does ONLY P-TTL automation, so if a lens is fitted that doesn't provide the aperture information, it simply goes to a full output, simple manual flash. Distance means nothing at all. P-TTL works fine with A series manual focus lenses when set to the A position on the aperture ring. TTL (as opposed to P-TTL) is fully supported with the dedicated external flash units. > As I said, people are far too fast to accuse Pentax of deliberately > disabling bodies for the sole purpose of selling new lenses. They're all conspiracy theorists. ;-) Godfrey __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
