If flash TTL works the same with the Z-1p as with the LX, (and I think it does),
your camera is reading severe under exposure with no film, reading the reflected
light off the pressure plate.

Hi,

I have a Pentax dedicated vivitar flash with TTL capabilities. Does the Z-1P
allow TTL with K and M series lenses? I tried a quick test last night with a
K 35/3.5 and would get the green auto exposure OK light on the flash to come
on only up to F 5.6 even though I was 6 ft away from the subject and 9 ft
away from a wall. The flash and camera ISO was set to 400. There was no film
in the camera if that makes a difference. I normally like to shoot the 35 at
F 8 or 11 and zone focus. I'm going to a friends graduation party for his
son tomorrow so I don't have time to do tests. Any suggestions on the matter
would be appreciated. Current plan is to shoot with the flash on non TTL
auto.
