I think the rationale for the blinking light is to remind the user that the camera is in remote mode (which disables SR under the default settings).
Bummer... there is nothing in the manual about it.
The only indicator lamp settings for the K-3ii are for GPS.
My three user modes are:
TAV SPEC - specific for shooting birds in flight
ASTRO - Bulb mode with astrotracer and remote mode
MACRO - Strict manual with remote mode
It would be really nice to turn that dang red flashing light off! haha
I know I'm in that user mode so I would just switch out to exit remote mode.
Oh well.
If the K-1 has access to the lamp in settings, hopefully the K-3ii successor will have this as well.
If I use a cable release shutter I don't even need to be in remote mode so there's no issue there.
But if I want to have wireless shutter, the red light will just have to be dealt with, unfortunately.
