Notes on Pentax Lenses:

• All Pentax lenses can be used with PENTAX digital cameras, however there are restrictions when using lenses other than DA, D FA, FA, FA J series lenses.
• When using D FA or FA lenses the aperture ring must be set to the A (auto) position.
• A-series lenses are manual focus only.
• Lenses without the A (auto position) require the user to set the custom function to use non-A position lens. These lenses also lack the contacts to make full use of the 16 segment metering system.
• PENTAX 645, 67-system lenses and S (Screw mount) type of lenses may be used with an adapter, though some functions may not be available with certain lenses.
