Eruditass I think you are able to but I can't even tell what I'm doing when I get it to fire, let alone work out how to deliberately get it to do something. Gloom.
Does anyone have straightforward instructions, or a clear explanation of just what it all means?

I turned it off, pulled the batteries out for a while and then tried again. The mode I wanted is back, but I don't know where it went before, so I'm still not happy.

My experience with a YN460 has been great. It is a simple to use manual flash. I use it with YongNuo radio triggers, and found it to be a great way to learn off camera flash at a low price.
I did modify mine (moved the sensor from the head to the body, a change which is apparently implemented in later models).

I've just purchased one of these flashes, and was really disappointed with the manual. I'm a read-the-manual sort of guy, and found it frustrating. I'm sure the fault also lies with the interface. It just doesn't make sense. I can sometimes get it to do what I want, but sometimes it seems impossible.
Does such a guide exist? Can someone here shed some light on what it all means? The thing that bugs me the most right now is that I'm trying to shoot wirelessly. The manual says (pp18) "1. Press the [MODE] button to Select the P/TTL/Z---z/SL mark."
Pressing the mode button cycles through various modes, none of which show the collection of symbols described, and none of which work.
Any help?

It isn't perfectly rectangular, but measuring from the middle I get 75mm by 43mm.

The K-x hot shoe does not function when no flash is detected via the "flash ready" voltage, and when a flash is detected shutter speed is limited to 1/180.
This is quite sensible in most cases, but it would be really nice to have a menu option for "always trigger hot shoe with shutter".
This would mean that many of the RF triggers available would function with the camera (they do not have a flash ready pin), and that it would be possible to fire a flash at speeds higher than sync speed.
It'd be nice to have.

This is very much a hardware issue. The cameras that can do this have a transmissive LCD screen in the viewfinder. Pentax does not use this, on the grounds that it reduces light. It's a trade off really.

If you can't find someone with a drill to bribe with the donuts, you could just use one of the holes from the donuts and stick it in the center column. :)
I myself do not own a drill, but still managed to get holes in two of my tripods just by seizing the opportunity when I was doing something with a drill belonging to someone else.
