 ly stop down to the pre-selected aperture at the
 moment of exposure and re-open as the exposure is
 completed.
 This function is performed internally with bayonet
 mount lenses. There is an Auto/Manual switch on
 lenses with a Pentax universal screw mount, which must be set on "A" for automatic diaphragm control.
 When set in the "M" position, the diaphragm opens
 and closes as the aperture ring is rotated.
