Pentax k-x shutter speed limit

taita87 · 01-17-2020, 12:02 PM

Hi, just a simple question: can you shoot your Pentax k-x setting a shutter speed limit? Let's say not going under 1/125?

Yes, by selecting the speed priority setting, not the green "auto" or aperture priority.

If you are wanting to be able to use P, Av, or Sv with a range of 1/125s to 1/6000s, the answer is no. Otherwise, Tv, TAv, and M modes allow you to set the desired shutter speed. One can also use the e-dial to override the shutter speed in P mode while maintaining proper exposure.
