Oops, never tried to lift the iso dial, so my first film will be darker than expected. *damn*

Luckily I just made one photo with the new film, now iso stands correctly on 200.

stevejcoe, thanks for the link, just downloaded the manual and had a lot "aha" effects.

One question about using a flash: When it is attached to the shoe, will it automatically flash on shutter release? Is the shutter time then always 1/100 or can it be shorter?

Sorry for all those questions but I really like to use the camera correctly.

Hello everybody,

my aunt just gave me a camera from her friend who quits making fotos. It's an Pentax ME, there are two labels, one on the body and one on the objective. They say quality check passed '86.

I've got two questions about this camera: What about iso settings? I can see a "400", but what if I use an iso 200 Film? Do I have to set the wheel to 1/2 in this case? (Cause 400/2 is 200)

The second question I have is regarding the wheel around the release. There is "Auto" (select an aperture, time is calculated I think), then L, 100x and B. Can someone explain the functions of the last three?

Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany.
