It will work with the built-in flash. The trick is that this was added with firmware 1.10. Since the original out-of-box firmware can't do it, the manual is out-of-date.

I should probably put that in the guide, although that section is getting large.

The Pentax support site does not mention this unit, but it clearly exists...

I'm not aware of one. There was an AF500FTZ.....
