Hi Folks

When I fit my Sigma 105 to my K20 the LCD flashes F-- and the shutter seems to be locked. What have I done?
I bet its finger trouble.

Cheers

Hi, I don`t have a K20D but if it is a non Autofocus Lens that you are using it may be that you need to go to the menu and find "Using Aperture Ring" and Change to permitted. if that does not work then go to AE-L with AF locked. When set to ON this will only allow the shutter to be fired when the camera senses that the subject is in focus, So if you want the shutter to fire at any focus position then set it to OFF.

Hope that helps.

Regards - Pete.

You've probably moved the aperture ring off 'A'. Move it back and all will be well again.
