I have indeed signed up. Mr Brigham helpfully pointed me in the direction of the P30 manual which has explained the ML/meter locking
Thanks Rob Original Message: Read this on another board, and cant answer as I dont know the camera. I will reply to the guy if anyone can help? I have also recommended he sign up here... "Having just acquired a P30N and being a bit of a novice I wondered if some of you Pentax experts might be willing to give me a bit of advice? It doesn't seem much more complcated than my old-but-beginning-to-give-up-the-ghost Spotmatic but I'd be greatful for a little help. Is the ML button a Meter Lock and does this just hold the metered exposure constant? And will the meter give accurate readings with non PK-A lenses (presumably only if stopped down)? Also, after firing the shutter it takes some time before it will fire again and the viewfinder shutter speed LED only lights up intermittently - is this just the battery failing (getting some new ones today to try) or is it symptomatic of any more serious problems? Any more tips you could give regarding the camera would be appreciated. Thanks for your time and if you know where I could get hold of a 40mm f2.8 "pancake"... - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
