Mode Dial Functions
00_AF200FGZ.book Page 10 Monday, July 30, 2007 9:07 AM
Using the mode dial located on the rear side of the AF200FG, you can set the following flash modes.
Auto flash mode (P-TTL Auto/ TTL Auto)
When the mode dial is set to (AUTO), (–0.5), or (–1), the
operating mode of the flash unit is automatically switched to
P-TTL Auto or TTL Auto by communicating with the camera
you use.
P-TTL Auto flash
A pre-flash is discharged before the main flash so that the
metering sensor in the camera can measure the condition
of the subject and adjust the output of the main flash
properly. This mode gives more accurate results than
the conventional TTL mode.
TTL Auto flash
The metering sensor in the camera measures the amount
of light coming through the lens and adjusts the flash output
properly.
10
Manual flash mode (full output)
When the mode dial is set to (FULL), the flash unit always
discharges at its full output regardless of the ambient light
condition.
Determine the Guide No. of the flash unit based on the ISO
sensitivity setting of the camera, then calculate the aperture
value according to the flash range.
This mode is available on all the cameras for which you can
set the desired aperture.
Auto flash shooting
00_AF200FGZ.book Page 11 Monday, July 30, 2007 9:07 AM
Procedure
Slide the Power switch to (ON).
1
Set the mode dial to (AUTO).
2
Confirm that the subject is within the effective flash
3
range and the ready lamp is lit, and take a picture.
l The correct flash output is obtained in P-TTL auto
mode only when the flash unit is used with autofocus lenses.
Set the lens aperture to the position A
in P-TTL Auto mode
When the lens you use is equipped with the lens aperture
ring, set the position of the ring to A (You do not need to do
this for the DA or FAJ lens). Otherwise, the flash unit
cannot function in P-TTL Auto mode.
When you use the cameras that support both P-TTL and
TTL modes (*ist DS2, *ist DS, *ist D) , if the aperture of the
lens is in a position other than A, you can shoot in TTL Auto
flash mode. Be aware that for the cameras that only
support P-TTL Auto flash, the flash unit does not adjust the
flash output but discharges at full output, if the aperture of
the lens is in a position other than A.
About TTL Auto flash mode
With single lens reflex cameras (film cameras) other than
PENTAX digital single lens reflex cameras, you can
perform auto flash shooting if they support TTL Auto.
(However, 35mm cameras before SF series and the 645
camera of the early type do not support the TTL Auto with
this flash unit)

n Slow-speed Sync Mode
When using a normal flash to shoot a portrait, etc., in a
night or evening setting, the background will appear very
dark because a normal flash light cannot sufficiently light it.
However, it is possible to balance both subject and
background by using the flash to properly expose the
foreground subject and a slow shutter speed to expose the
low light background.

replacement of parts as herein before provided. No refunds will be made on repairs performed by non-authorized PENTAX service
facilities.
Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period
Any PENTAX which proves defective during the 12-month warranty period should be returned to the dealer from whom you purchased
the equipment or to the manufacturer. If there is no representative of the manufacturer in your country, send the equipment to the
manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable length of time before the equipment can be returned to you
owing to the complicated customs procedures required. If the equipment is covered by warranty, repairs will be made and parts
replaced free of charge, and the equipment will be returned to you upon completion of servicing. If the equipment is not covered by
warranty, regular charges of the manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping charges are to be borne by the owner. If
your PENTAX was purchased outside of the country where you wish to have it serviced during the warranty period, regular handling
and servicing fees may be charged by the manufacturer’s representatives in that country. Notwithstanding this, your PENTAX returned
to the manufacturer will be serviced free of charge according to this procedure and warranty policy.
In any case, however, shipping charges and customs clearance fees are to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase
when required, please keep the receipts or bills covering the purchase of your equipment for at least a year. Before sending your
equipment for servicing, please make sure that you are sending it to the manufacturer’s authorized representatives or their approved
repair shops, unless you are sending it directly to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service charge, and only after
you accept the quoted service charge, instruct the service station to proceed with the servicing.
