Wireless settings

Hey all,

I purchased a Pentax 540FGZ before xmas. Not long after I got it, I was testing out the "wireless" options on some mundane objects. I was getting the flash to fire without any sign of the onboard flash being present (background shadows). Now, Im getting slight shadows from the onboard flash in my photos. Whats the best way around this?? NB: I have the onboard flash strength turned all the way down to minimize its effects.

Cheers
D

If you can, post a sample image, with the data included. There are so many variables that I'd never know where to start from just your description.

You might want to confirm you have the custom setting for "Flash in Wireless" set to off. Setting name might not be exact, but hopefully enough to get you close.

Thank you
