and the K-f something better than the very old 11 point af system.
I am sure they would have preferred to keep the K-70 running for a few more years until a new entry level camera was designed from the ground up.
Perhaps it would have been better to keep the same name rather than launching it as "new", when it clearly isn't.
That's marketing for you

Pentax have basically stated that there are parts for the K-70 that can no longer be sourced so they have used new ones where needed and called it the K-f.

Just a thought....you are not turning the LED beam on are you ?
The trailing curtain option is only a P-TTL mode so not available when the flash is set to Manual output.
What exposure mode are you using on the camera itself ..... Manual ? If so what shutter speed are you selecting.
Also what lens ?
I had the Flash on P-TTL as I had selected trailing curtain sync. I was literally trying everything until I got it, before I know it had to be P-TTL. My camera was on manual, 2.5 secs, f2.8, ISO 400. The lens was the Pentax 16-50 DA* I thought that there were perhaps settings on the camera I had to select to get successful tcs. but I now realise this is not the case. In casting around the menu I found there were more flash options for some exposure modes, which puzzled me. I now don't think, however, that this is relevant to my issue.
Thanks again, John

Can you get lenses converted?
Some lenses (like the Pentax DA* 60-250), have the optical ability to produce a larger image circle but was prevented from doing so by the fitting of a baffle. Many have had success in removing the baffle and making the lens fully FF compatible.
