As it is cable operated and my K-r doesn't have a cable socket, I think you will find it won't. Sorry.

I like to have bracketed pictures in my folders on the computer to be in a progressive order, ie increasing exposure. It seems logical to me.

The default on my camera, and I assume on all Pentax cameras, is the centre one first then lower and then higher. The order determines the naming hierarchy, so I suppose knowing how it is set directly from the display is useful(ish)!

Yes - it is a bit obscure I admit. But things like that bug me. They must have been put there for a reason. And I think you can only get the best out of your equipment if you know how everything is intended to work.

OK. Just to close this off I have worked out why one of the vertical bars flashes when you have auto bracketing set.

It indicates the order in which the bracketed exposures will be taken. More specifically it tells you the first exposure to be taken. So I have the order set (for 3 exposures) to be - 0 +, which means the lowest exposure is taken first then the middle, then the highest exposure. So the left most bar flashes.

If I set it to the default, 0 - + , the the centre bar flashes.

I think I must be a geek! I'll just crawl back under my stone - don't mind me!

Thanks Nigel, It's not off the scale, it's just flashing.

I have had a play and I can't make it stop, even by pointing it into the light or by putting it on ISO 51,200, or winding the 3/5 exposures way above centre so perhaps that just the way it's supposed to be. I tried my K-r and that is the same. I'm beginning to think that it was like that all along but I didn't notice.

Mind you, I do wonder why some one would design it like that - something flashing usually means 'look at me', or 'there's something wrong'.

I came to take some photos today and when using the Bracketing mode, the left most bar determining the exposure adjustment from nominal is flashing. I don't remember it doing that before. However, can someone tell me if the camera is trying to tell me something or whether I'm just being stupid?

Thanks in advance
