I believe the custom option you're referring to is using the built-in flash to trigger an external flash in control mode (option 2) as opposed to master mode (option 1). Using option 2 the built-in flash fires to trigger the external flash, but is timed to go off before the shutter curtain opens so it has no effect on your exposure. It works perfectly well on the K-5 and K-5 II. I use it often when I can't be bothered setting up the Cactus v5 radio triggers.
I hear what your saying but how do you explain the hard shadow in pic 1 I believe it was because of the straight direction flash of the inbuilt unit on the camera before trigering the main off camera flash unit.I believe the custom option you're referring to is using the built-in flash to trigger an external flash in control mode (option 2) as opposed to master mode (option 1).

Ian, it should work.
Custom settings 3 option 17 set to 2.
It seems the flash will still fire to operate the remote one but will not influence the exposure.

Hi John yes the flash does fire in option 17 2 but in the training video the flash does not fire may be it's down to the different models of camera. Thanks Don yes will try that option as well.Ian, it should work.

Thanks for the help guys very helpful info. I have looked at the training video and step by step worked through the protocol but the in camera flash still fires even after following the guide lines in the video. I am using the Kr and not the K 5 as used in the video so may be that is the problem. Dave I will check out radio triggers asp thank you.

Tried this today but kept getting the hard shadow light on the wall I persume this is caused by the cameras flash which is needed to triger the flash off camera. Is there a way to prevent this as I tried bouncing the flash off walls and celling but got the same result.

Just a thought when shhooting a portrait in studio say would you always consider a prime lens the best option moving the camera from point to point as against using a zoom ?.
