Oh, and what does it do in Tv or P if you're using Auto ISO?
It looks like in Av nothing is automated. You can set aperture and the camera still picks shutter speed up to 1/180th but nothing changes on the flash and it will expose incorrectly. I don't have Sv on my K100D so I can't test that but the manual says only P and Tv in A mode. Auto Pict mode and all of the scene modes seem to work the same as P on my camera. You can use them but the camera defaults to what the flash is set to.
I tried to shoot with very small apertures to see if it would bump up ISO in Auto ISO but all I could get are shots at ISO 200. Looks like the K100D at least defaults to the lowest ISO for Auto ISO shots in A mode.
