This is what i was looking for!! Thanks.
I have a cat 500 f8 lens and a 650-1300 f8-f11 lens and I have been leaving mode on P, (it reverts to Av) and I can get focus confirm on the 500, and below about 800 on the zoom. I left the green button set to program line, and it sets the shutter for me just fine.
I am shooting a K-30 with firmware 1.05
One thing I notice is that I do NOT get exposure bars. Nor do I get any reading of the aperture (which makes sense, as there are no contacts to read lens data from) Nor does my EXIF data record aperture info.
I wish I could get that aperture data in camera somehow and on EXIF. The cat is no prob, as I know it is 8, always, but the zoom changes the aperture value, as it is zoomed in and out. Not sure there could be any way, but I would like it anyways.
I am just happy to get confirmation that a preset lens works fine in Av mode with green button set to program line.
