Firmware suggestion for K-1, KP and future cameras with the "menu mode" dial.

I would like to have the option, whether as a customisable function on the K-P or a menu-selected option on the K-1, to have the exposure compensation selection applied to the flash (if one is mounted/active), rather than to any combination of aperture/shutter/ISO. Too many times I want to turn it up or down, but this means wasting time reaching up to the flash itself or menu diving.

I'd really like that feature, because the exposure compensation on the dial is fairly redundant to the dedicated button right next to it. Furthermore, the +/- label would still make perfect sense.

Meanwhile, I have put my flash settings onto Fx1, making it a single left thumb press to get the flash shift onto the rear dial. I don't need quick changes for any of the other Fx1 options and Fx2 keeps its labelled function.
