Thanks for the detailed explanation on P-TTL flash!
...but...since flash compensation (for the internal flash) appears on the camera's LCD screen when displaying the photo(s), I presume it must be storing the data somewhere...and logically (to me at least!) that would be in the EXIF, would it not?
So, if it is not stored in the EXIF data, then I am curious as to where it is. And if it is in the EXIF, why is it not something that is shown by the Photo Browser software?:confused:
Cheers,
AJ

Hi,
The K10D is my first DSLR, although I've been using Pentax cameras for over 20 years. I now find myself with a few questions about flash operation with the K10D. I've also asked these over at DP Review, but thought I'd try here also...:D
1. I have mainly been taking flash photos indoors waiting for the fog to lift in the UK (it has been hanging around almost constantly since I bought the camera last week:lol: ). While the camera displays any flash exposure compensation, this does not seem to be something that is shown once downloaded into the Photo Browser s/w. I've tried a couple of other progs. also & none appear to show this either. Before I delete the images from the SD card, does anyone know how I can access this info. once downloaded, as I presume it must be somewhere in the EXIF data...?
2. Along a similar line, when setting flash exposure compensation on my AF-540FGZ flashgun, this information does not appear to be transferred to the camera (i.e. if I set +1.0EV comp. on the flashgun, the recorded image info. says 0.0EV flash comp., although the photos appear to have the compensation applied correctly, as far as I can see). Should I, therefore, just set any flash compensation via the camera's Fn menu instead?
Anyone else come across these 'problems'?
Cheers,
AJ
