I dont beleive you need to half press the shutter button to activate the meter on auto expose modes, its instant isnt it? i.e you can just shoot whenever you want, no waiting for meter or need for half shutter presses. No Pentax film camera ever needed you to half press the shutter on any auto exposure modes as far as I know. jco

But you have to half press the shutter button to activate the meter anyway (you have to option of having the meter on for 3, 10 or 30 seconds). > Does the few second wait for SR start all over > again if you expose a photo and/or release > the shutter button momentarily? As long as you keep the shutter half pressed after taking a shot SR stays on. If you take your finger of the shutter then you have to wait for SR to kick in again.
