Originally posted by stevebrot None of my film cameras does automatic bracketing, though my K10D worked the same as my K-3.
Your K-3 brackets from the initial reading and does not change between exposures even if the light changes.
I believe that the default setting for the green button in M mode on the K-5 is the program line. That is how it is on the K-3. I suspect that yours was moved to Tv shift at some point since that behavior makes good sense to many people who mostly use Av mode.

I haven't moved it with either of my K5 bodies or my K10 or K20 & yes I want consistent exposures even if the light changes in part of the image ...

Originally posted by stevebrot In many ways, yes. The general default behavior of the green button is to return the exposure to the program line or the "dumbed down" state. I have taught several people the basics of using their Pentax dSLRs and make a point this feature. To have it be different in M mode only would be inconsistent and potentially confusing.

I agree ... That's why I didn't look there ... I wasn't aware that this would be the cause of my bracketing issues
Im usually in either Av or M mode & have used the Green button lots ... I haven't dragged the K5 bodies out to see what they are set to yet
