Well- My istD has a setting in the custom functions for using the flash wireless. I cannot find a function to set like this with the K100D. Does anyone know if it can work wireless with this camera, and if so how?

Hi Ava,
No
Only the *ist-D and K10D can do wireless from the pop-up flash. With all cameras you can do wireless P-TTL if you have two AF-360 guns

That said, you can do a wireless trigger from all cameras to the AF-360. But the AF-360 needs to be in M or A mode. See my sticky guide to digital flash https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4950
Quote:
- For wireless, the "Slave 1" is the "intelligent" mode (for the *ist-D and K10D only). "Slave 2" is the "dumb" mode which will sync to all pop up cameras - however, if the camera has a preflash, make sure the flash only uses up to half power otherwise the main flash will be exhausted (and used up on the preflash). See page 49 of the AF360 manual. Custom options in the K10D and *ist-D can be set to use the pop-up as a trigger only Wink
Hope that helps!

Unlike the *ist D, wireless requires two flashguns, one on the camera, and a remote slave.

Set the camera to P, and then follow the flashgun instructions.
