Originally posted by Oakland Rob I'm kinda stumped. K-3ii.
I've got an all manual lens, no aperture control. I want to be able to select shutter speed manually, and then have the camera vary ISO automatically. I can easily set an aperture and have shutter speed vary automatically, or both shutter speed and ISO vary per Pentax's program, but I want to fix the aperture (well, it has to be on lens via aperture ring), and fix the shutter, and just have ISO vary. Possible?
yes possible. 1) In menu (under the C - number 27) , you must enable "using apperture ring" function - after that, you must be - in TAV mode.
2) after that you can set ISO to fixed or AUTO :
When you set up all of this, you can play games. You can set up almost every scenario from this mode.
tO set ISO to - auto or fixed :
IF ISO is AUTO, camera not change your shutter speed, just ISO
IF ISO is fixed, your camera change your shutter speed. If ISO is fixed :
just hit the green button near lcd, and you'll be in ISO AUTO / that's what you're ask for / If ISO is AUTO:
Press top plate Iso Buton, and change it to some value....
After that you will be back in manual ISO
In shooting you can easily change this modes for ISO, to get what you want
____________________________
Another usefull tip for this mode is to use : +/- exposure compensation button
with hitting it, you can set "+" or "-" in exposure metering - and you can turn your camera to give you exposure you wants exactly !
So you can set various options for yourself....

Since I discovered TAV, specially with manual lenses - I just love it, more and more, it's so usefull - - as you can see
