My first digital SLR, the K10D, had these modes. Does anyone know which models featured them first?

Does the K-r have them?

Thanks, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Thanks Geordie.

I think I have answered my own question by browsing through the camera reviews over at PentaxForums. TAv and Sv seem to have come in with the K10D, and in the case of TAv have been limited to the K10D/K20D/K-7/K-5. Sv has appeared in some of the other models.

If anyone knows better, please tell me!

Thanks, Kris.

The K10D was indeed the first to have TAv and Sv modes. As womble says the only other models that have both these controls are the K20D, K-7, K-5 and the 645D.

The ones with just Sv mode are:-
K200D/K-m/K-x/K-r

Of course thay all have Av,Tv,P,M and green modes too.....

I hope this helps.
