The Pentax P3 features manual focus. To focus, look through the viewfinder and rotate the focusing ring on the lens until your subject appears sharp. The split-image or microprism focusing aids in the viewfinder will assist in achieving precise focus.

In Manual mode, use the appropriate dials or rings on the camera body and lens to adjust shutter speed and aperture. The viewfinder will display metering information to guide your exposure settings. Shutter speeds vary based on user settings, typically ranging from bulb to 1/1000th of a second.
5. Samowyzwalacz
