Some zooms
Most people here will use AV, TV or M to get the image they want by controlling depth of field, shutter speed to freeze motion or both to get a specific effect. New users are encouraged in the manual to start with the green button setting - and that not intended to be disparaging - it's there as a learning option. We all come to DSLRs from different starting points - film, bridge, P&S or none - so we all have legacy issues which impact on where we are and where we want to be.

I wanted to use the flash compensation but couldnt find it. I now know where it is thanks.
It's not about what kit I've got, its about having the knowledge to use it to maximum potential.
Then stop down the camera to take a meter reading in manual. This will not be 100% accurate but is usable. It's better to use A series lenses or later.
Ive permitted aperture ring.
Forgetting flash for the time being I have figured out that in AE mode I can set the aperture with one wheel and the shutter sets its self. This works fine with the A lens.
When I use the M lenses I find it is better to go into full Manual mode.
If I then physically set the aperture is there a quick way of getting the correct shutter speed?

I hope you don't mind but I'd like to throw questions and issues that I come accross with the newly aquired K10, out to the forum for help.
Much better approach, Mr PentaxExpert. A friendly question will always get a friendly response here. Welcome to the forum!

My first 2 issues are this:
1. I was shooting with a manual lens and using flash and the image was too bright - over exposed. I stopped down to the smallest apereture on the lens and it made no difference. I am baffled.
2. Program Line - what option should I set this to?
Thanks in advance.
