Why does it matter where the green button is, as it is only use is in play back mode to reduce an enlarged image on the rear screen, and as such it is adjacent to the screen, a very convenient position.
Take care.
Placement on my K-x is pretty perfert when shooting... I use index finger for green button and shutter button with middle finger...

Thanks Dave. Somenice flash use there. Whereabouts did you get your Cactus triggers?
Gadget Infinity are your best bet though... By all accounts the V5 are vastly superior to my V4 set, but they do a sterling job and have held up well to bag abuse (they're left to rattle around frequently)
Thanks
For me - flash is a bit of extra fun more than anything!

Essentially:
Aperture controls flash exposure if you get too much flash in the shot (ie; overexposed) close down your apereture... If too dark open it up... If you can't open it up, raise the ISO...
Shutterspeed controls your ambient light... If you don't want any, shoot at sync (1/180 on Pentax cameras) with low flashpower and subject close... If you're just wanting a bit of fill flash but ambient light is important, slow the shutter...
A couple hours practicing with a toy doll (or a rock in my case) should see you right... You kinda just have to learn to ignore the meter in the camera and go with your gut...
Both these are with the YN560... (sorry there so ugly... Can't choose your friends...)

This one was at Harewood House on a really bright day so it to was at sync (1/180)... The flash is quite obvious (partly due to my bad placement) but the blend between flash and ambient is ok...
