Hello everybody,
my Pentax Q now was at the Service, they load the new firmware without testing it before, but after new Firmware installed, no error was found.
Yesterday the cam arrived and i tested the flash with several Apertures.
The Pictures with the AF200FG Flash were really good exposed, no overexposure, maybe a little to dark sometimes, but overall 1000% better than before.
Maybe, the old firmware wasnt clean installed, but now everything is ok. Only the lock of the flash is exactly above the ON/OFF switch.
Thank you for reading,
bye

So,
the new (2nd) Pentax AF 200FG Flash is arrived, problems are the same, only with F8 the pictures are good, the Dial on the Flash doesn´t do anything.
Think, my Q is defect.
But i won´t send it to Pentax, because they say, 2-3 weeks waiting time.
Maybe i speek with my dealer to change one on one, later, because i wanna play a little with the cam. Maybe, i sell the Q or put it in the vitrine....
Thanks all.
By the way: One time, after shooting the camera turned off, the power button didnt react and I had to put the battery out and in again......anyone else?
Greetings
Alfred

thanks devorama,
as exif viewer PhotoMe says, Camera operates in P-TTL Flashmode, but the adjustments of the dial of the flash doesnt do anything, so this would only happen in TTL-Mode (OP-Manual).
Will test another flash next week, if the error still exists the pentax Q is defective or the lenses.
Maybe the software....?
Has anybody a link to download the original firmware?
I will give a feedback then.

Thanks all for the first
my flash is a pentax af200fg, should be compatible with the Q, has P-TTL Mode and run in Automode. Will send both send next week to Pentax.
Does anybody know, how the TTL-Data comes to the flash? Did the flash regulate the time of flashing or do the camera send a "Stop flashing" when enough light is in the picture?
Sorry for the english again.

Hi everybody,
For the first, excuse my english, I am from Germany, hope you understand it.
Maybe someone of the Q user could help me, if Pentax Germany doesn´t.
I own the pentax Q with double lens kit, last week I buyed a used flash. The pics i shot with the standard zoom in wide angle position are totally overexposed, the flash uses full energy, in telephoto position, the flash regulate better. With the standard prime lens, its a little better. The flash seems to regulate the brightness, but not every pic is ok.
Now, is it a Q single problem or firmware problem, or could the flash be defective ? The internal flash works "fine" maybe a little to dark.
Thank you, i hope my problem help other people too.
