Hello all on the Pentax forum. This is my first post having just signed up.
I have a k20 that i think is fantastic. I bought this model as i shoot predominantly off camera and like the ability of having p-ttl remote from the flash without having to buy into the whole Nikon CLS thing.
I am now looking to get a bit more creative and play a bit and note that the manual states the k20 can do HS wireless using the 540 flash and the pop up as command. (page 145/6 of the user manual).
i note from reading through some of the posts here that this is not possible as the default setting for the pop up is 1/180th and will not go higher. i have played with all the camera settings as depicted in he manual of both the back and the flash and cannot find the rout to get this to work as per the manual ei, HS/w using pop up as control and 540 flash as slave with Tv above 1/180th.
Am i flogging a dead horse with pursuing this or is the manual fibbing when it says you can do this.
Thanks for your help and assistance.
Glenn.

thanks for the heads up. I will make contact with pentax as the manual clarly states it can be done. Not to happy when a product does not meet with the published specs.
Thanks
