Thank you all for your warm welcome. I look forward to meeting you in the forum.

Hi Matt,

That was an excellent guide !

Two things that may be worth mentioning in the next Flash Guide version is that the lightning icon in the viewfinder can disappear right after exposure for more than one reason. If the camera did not get as much flash light as it wanted (as stated in the guide), or if the flash gun needs a second or two (or three...) to recharge from the batteries. It took some time for me to sort that out... I got perfect pictures but the icon disappeared all the time. And it's hard to tell the reason, a bit confusing I think.
Also the unexpected behaviour of K10D/K20D to use some average flashlight measuring mode in P-TTL instead of the user choosen mode.

If I set the flash compensation to +1 and wireless mode (fn button) and "use built-in flash as master in wireless mode" (custom menu) in my K10D, will I get +1 for both the built-in flash and the wireless one ?

Thanks
Ragnar

Hi all,

I started my Pentax marriage a year ago when I got myself a used Pentax K10D. Since then I have filled up my camera bag with some lenses, mostly used for nature photography, and a flash gun. I use my pictures in slide shows, where I add music and sound effects (I can recommend "Pictures To Exe", excellent slide show software).
When I got my flash gun, that's when I realized that I'm in to some serious rocket science. But I'm safe now, having joined this forum with so much knowledge, right ?

Best Regards
Ragnar
