I tested my K20D with internal and external flash. I was able to change aperture at will, but trying to change the shutter speed gave whacky results.
As others have said, use Av mode. If you want to keep the shutter speed up, try X-mode, it locks the shutter at 1/180s.

That's exactly what I do.

That's a little over the top, don't you think? Program mode is fantastic, and here's why:
Hyper-Program
The unique Pentax 'Hyper-Program' really is as useful as the name suggests. It is clearly a normal program exposure mode but turning the front or rear dial quickly switches the camera into shutter priority (front dial) or aperture priority (rear dial) modes. To return back to full Program mode just press the green button beside the shutter release. This shockingly simple but effective method of going between the three exposure modes is genius. Note that you can change the program-line from a 'standard' one to hi-speed (favors higher shutter speeds), depth-of-field (favors smaller apertures) or MTF (selects the optimum aperture for the lens used). |
