Why isn't my camera indicating the f-stops... Hi there, I just recently purchased a SEARS 80-200mm (f/4-F/22)lense for my Pentax ZX-7 film SLR camera. I've been experimenting a lot with it since I've got it. Yet for some reason the camera doesn't show me the aperture setting in the viewfinder, nor do I get the option of changing the shutter speed. The shutter speed it does show me is always 1/125 not matter where I'm at, what I'm taking the picture of, and what the conditions of lighting are. Is something wrong with the camera, or with the user (me...lol). In the past I've usually used the automatic verison of this, but I'm trying to change and understand all the manual ways. Speaking of manual, I cannot seem to find the manual for my camera. SO I don't know whether or not it would have any source of help in there. I hope some of you might know what to do and how to help. Thanks, Benita

While any K-mount lens can be used on the ZX-7, older manual focus lenses have limited features, often limited to Aperture priority and Manual exposure modes only. The manual can be downloaded from the Pentax website, see http://www.pentaximaging.com/customer_care/manuals_literature.

Thanks Jon. I was able to find my manual today, but thanks anyway for the link. Very helpful! So I guess I"m just stuck with the camera not showing me the f-stop number in the viewfinder? That blows, I was hoping there would be a way somehow. Thank you anyways for your response/help. :o)
