Remotely adjust 360 flash?

As with Canon and Nikon, can you remotely adjust other 360 flashes from the camera 360 master flash?

I'm new to Pentax kit so I would appreciate some clarification.

I've got a DS2 and to use wireless flash 'properly', it seems I need two 360 flashes - pity the pop-up flash can't be used as in the case of the *istD. If I buy two, I hope they'll be as versatile as their 'other make' equivalents.

Hope you can help.

No, there's no remote adjustment of flash. All adjustments are performed on each flash device. Personally I don't find that a big problem - but I can imagine there are situations where it would be more convenient.

When it comes to versatility, I've found no problems whatsoever.
One key thing, which I'm not sure about the competition because I haven't checked, is the high speed sync - so you can forget the usual 1/180s sync speed and use all the way up to 1/4000 Superb for daylight fill-in, even with remote flashes
