No wireless flash button on one K10D

Reconman-1033 · 01-12-2010, 05:53 AM

I'm looking for some help on a Pentax K10D. I have been using one for a couple of years and recently purchased a second one for back-up. On my original K-10D I have a setting for Wireless to use a Pentax AF-540FGZ external flash. However on the new K10D I do not have that setting. Is this a software issue that can be corrected or is there something else I'm missing, or am I stuck with not having this feature.
Thanks, J.T.

It should be there when you push the function button. You might try updating your firmware to the latest version and see if that helps. Here.

Rondec:
Thanks very much. I will do the firmware download. I'm pretty sure this will correct the issue, since the "new" K10D has ver. 1.0 and according to the link you provided I can download ver. 1.3

Thanks again for your help
