Aperture Settings with My Dad's Pentax SF1 I'm a photography student at my school and I use my dad's camera. It's a Pentax SF1. I don't understand how to read the aperture setting for the manual part of the camera. Instead of coming up on the screen when I look through the lens as "2.4" or whatever setting I should have it at (like on my friends' cameras), it comes up on the shutter speed settings. I don't understand how to read this. If someone could please tell me how to work this so I know what to set the aperture to, that'd be awesome!

I'm not intimately familiar with the Pentax SF1, but I believe you read the aperture setting from an adjusting ring on the lens.

Jon's right. You have to set (and read) the aperture from the aperture setting ring on the lens. With an "A" or later lens set in the "A" position (auto aperture) the SF-1 will display the automatically selected aperture on the LCD display. Once you go to manual aperture selection this is disabled (the LCD reads "F--") and you must use the lens ring.
