Re: first day review

Right PJ. Pentax cameras prior to the K-3II do not support the new electronic AV control and no firmware will be available to allow them to do so. J Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 22, 2016, at 12:17 PM, P.J. Alling wrote: > > I'm pretty sure the K-5 doesn't work

Re: first day review

Dave, What mode of metering were you using? (center) spot? matrix? center-weighted? You probably know this, but just in case: If you are using a matrix or even center-weighted, and you have lots of bright sky in the frame, that can lead to underexposure. From your description of the scene, it
