You're right, about the automatic DST change. You have to change the
DST flag to display DST. I was wrong, at least about the K-5II. I'm
not going to charge a battery for the K20D to test that or go through
the rigamarole that's required to get the *istDs or D working just to
them. I think they had automatic updating but who knows. However it
probably does have lookup table to set the correct offset from UTC based
on city, or it has a very naive method of changing to DST, by just
adding an hour to the display. At this point I don't really care.
However the problem seems to be that setting that flag on Jos' camera
doesn't work, or maybe I completely misunderstood the issue. If the
lookup table does exist implementing automatic update would be trivial,
and the kind of thing that would be done "for free".

My K10D, K-7, and K-5 II, set to New York, have never automatically
transitioned DST. I have a calendar reminder to do it when the clocks
change. The camera is never correct until I change the DST checkbox.
Here's a PentaxForums thread stating that there is no automatic DST changeover:

Stan's description of how his two K-1's behave are consistent with that.
Stan's description is consistent with having to check the DST box when
DST is in effect.
