Yes, sorry for the confusion. I should have included the part about the camera brightening the screen.

The K-3 in live view does not stop the lens down to the set aperture in any mode. Screen brightness, OTOH, follows the apparent exposure (dimmer when underexposed, brighter when overexposed) by adjusting the screen brightness.



Yes...With live view on the K-3, you must use the DOF prevew to view DOF with the lens stopped down.

According to Adam, the K-1 behaves differently than the K-3.

Is this with the K-1? The behavior with my K-3 (firmware v. 1.11) is somewhat different. In all modes, M included, the lens may stop down in live view in response to the amount of light in the frame. The DOF preview button is required to stop the lens down to the set value. Aperture is wide open during AF and with magnification. Real time exposure preview is handled by adjusting screen brightness.

At least, I think that is what is happening...:confused:
