Legend:
- 1 – Image circle not sufficient or borders with vignetting or optical aberrations
- 2 – K10D can be updated to change from Powerzoom-use to SDM-drive.
- AF – Screw drive autofocus
- Av – Aperture priority
- Av0 – Aperture priority only with open aperture
- M – manual exposure with exposure display
- M+ – manual exposure with automatic working aperture metering, no exposure display
- P – Program AE
- PLM - Autofocus with pulse motor
- PZ – Powerzoom (K10D with limited capatibility only)
- SDM/DC – Autofocus with supersonic- or direct current motor (K10D with firmware version 1.3)
- Tv – Time priority
- X – not useful, because smallest aperture always set
Comments:
- On cameras with KAF/KAF2-mount without aperture simulator during Av metering the aperture has to be adjusted on the camera.
