By the looks of this flash it does have an Auto sensor and corresponding non-dedicated modes. You *may* be able to remove (or mask) the dedicated contacts, leaving only the centre, and use the flash in its A modes with appropriate F stop manually selected. I would not put it on the camera as is; it certainly won't work right, and it could even cause damage. - Peter Loveday -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
