Light meter display

clone · 12-29-2014, 06:29 AM

Hi,

I own a pentax K-5.

Recently I noticed that my pentax no longer displays the light exposure on my display. I think that the light meter still works because in automatic, the camera still adapt to the light in the room. But I can no longer see the amount of under and over exposure, because the display doesnt show anything.

Is this a setting that I need to change or is it a bigger problem?

Try in "M" Mode

Do you have the electronic level enabled? Try turning it off.

When you say the display shows nothing do you mean it is completely blank, not showing f-stop, shutter speed, focus confirmation, shake-reduction etc.?

Oh thanks, it works in M mode. I didn't realise it was only showing in M mode.
