Robert, The Super Program fires the first 3 shots at 1/1000th after the back is closed. This is to prevent you firing the camera with the lens cap on...which gives a really looooong exposure. When it needs batteries, it flashes 'ooo oo' in the aperture/shutter speed windows below the viewfinder or just goes dead (if you miss the weak battery signs). Next time, before you load a new roll of film, shut the back and fire off 4-5 shots. You will see the first 3 are at 1/1000th. Regards, Bob S.

I popped in two new batteries and the problem went away. Is this normal behavior indicating simple battery failure or should I worry that something else is awry? >> - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
