You might actually be on something... I've just run a quick test...
-Activated the D-range (highlights)
-Flash meters properly no matter direct, bounced or tilted...
Yahoo!!! But wait.. it gets better...
-De-activated the D-range
-Flash is still metering properly... WTF????
Run a few tests with AUTO-iso on as well... it works just the same, but AUTO-iso with flash seems to follow recent Nikon's cameras logic now... it bumps up ISO before increasing the flash output...
Looks like another sign that K5 was rushed on the market with firmware never completed... I bet it didn't even got to pre-alfa version....
