(P) Hyper-Program Mode:

Automatically sets shutter speed and aperture to the

proper exposure according to the Program Line * when

taking pictures. While maintaining proper exposure, it

allows the use of the front e-dial and rear e-dial to

change the shutter speed or aperture. Pressing the ISO

setting button and the ISO setting can changed with the

rear e-dial. This could be the only mode available and it

would still make this camera outstanding. More on Hy-

per Program page 117.

(Sv) Sensitivity Priority Mode:

Automatically sets shutter speed and aperture to the

proper exposure according to the set sensitivity. What a

concept. Pentax is the first to use such mode. Sv stands

for Sensitivity values. More on Sensitivity Mode page

119.

(Tv) Shutter Priority Mode:

This lets the user set the shutter speed. This is useful for

freezing action, or shots expressing movement. Tv

stands for Time values, not Television☺.
