I recently purchased an AF201FG flash for my K-3ii using DA 18-135 WR lens. Camera is on firmware 1.1. The flash fires, but the metering isn't adjusting for the flash. I've tried all four settings on the flash itself, and tried each flash setting for various camera shooting modes. If I understand how this is supposed to work, the camera should use P-TTL to recognize the flash, and adjust metering for when the flash fires. However, the metering doesn't change for a given shot with flash on or off.
I've googled everything I can find, and read both camera and flash manuals, and can't determine what is wrong. If it's a hardware problem, is there a way to narrow down which component short of swapping parts (no local camera shop with Pentax in my area).
I could return the flash as defective and request replacement, but would like to ensure it's not something else before doing so (e.g. issue with camera contacts).
Is there something I am not doing/misunderstanding? Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
