Fill Flash on a K20D
It might be that it flashed but that the flash power was too low.
On what mode did you ahve it set, the camera and the flash?
Should be the same or better on the K20D
I think there is a csene setting also but I never bother with those.
Not knowing the K20 I don't know but try just putting the flash up and see if it goes off.
The embedded EXIF information will tell me a lot about what you are doing (or not doing)

Not sure what else you could get from the EXIF to tell why the flash didn't fire though.

ISO at 200 is not what I'd be using. I try and always shoot at ISO 100.
Drop to ISO 100 and use manual mode. Take spot reading in program mode and note shutter speed and F number then switch to manual. dial in noted settings and add trailing curtain sync flash as my last post.
Have fun
I will try to stay away from that mode.
thank again

Example I was trying to shoot some people sitting by a window. The picture came out great if you want to just see the window. But I want the flash to go off to show the 2 people sitting at a table in front of the window.
All I got was dark images on 2 people. So my question is what do I need to set the K20D to to flash when I pop it up. What mode does the camera need to be in? Is there a way to set it that it will always flash when I pop the flash up and not when I tells me to user flash only?
PS still trying to learn about the K20D.........
