Originally posted by pbancr Oh and shutter speed does seem to change..tho intermittent...when green button is pressed. Same results when I push the on/off switch all the way to the preview position.
Sounds like it's working as intended, then. The aperture actuator on the K-3 and K-1 is a little bit quieter, so perhaps that's throwing you off.
Definitely do check the exposure compensation setting and metering mode. If you've selected spot instead of center-weighted, that might be the issue.
An easy way to check if stop-down metering is working is to put the camera in live view. If you select a narrow aperture and the DoF increases when you press the green button, then you know everything is ok.
