Maybe a bit late, but consider TAv; set shutterspeed at 1/100s or faster and aperture to you liking. Camera will take care of the ISO (but set a limit like 100-1600 or 100-3200).
When using flash, make sure that you switch to Av or M and ISO is set to a fixed value (100 or 200 but depending on needs). If you don't, the camera will probably still pick a high ISO and that might defeat the purpose and can result in overexposed images.
I suggest to shoot RAW+; you will have the RAW in case you need to fix things up.
Thank you all so much Trixie

I would change the ISO initially to 800, see what your shutter speed is and go up as far as 1600 ISO or come down to 400 iso. You'll need to keep the shutter speed ideally around 1/200th of a second to freeze some movement, and a minimum of 1/100th to eliminate camera shake.
Keep the Lens around F5,6 / F6.3 for reasonable DOF

Can anyone help please. I have been given an old Bell and Howell lens. 70-210 mm fits the K-5 perfectly and focus well manually. It says it has a macro but I cannot get it to work. Anyone got this old lens and how does it "go" macro
Any help would be a great help
