The Pentax-invented digital light meter was of the standard TTL open aperture center weighted type.
The finder screen was fixed, with a split image and a microprism ring in the center.
The shutter speed chosen by the camera was displayed in the finder, the aperture was not.
The selector around the release button had four positions: L (lock), Auto, 100X (1/100, X sync) and B.
