If there's no external flash used, the on-camera flash compensation
WILL change integrated flash output on my K10D.
If an external flash is used as well as the integrated flash: not sure
about FEC but contrast control works well :)

Contrast Controll, what and how is that?
I know it is a way to ballanse the output of two or more flashes.
Is it a Wireless alone feature? Or can it also be used in cabled setups?
Is it controlled by P-TTL or can you use it in automode?
I have thousands of questions :-)

OK will try to remember as much as I can.
First, contrast control was introduced with Z-serie (SF?) cameras
which did have the ability (which I miss a lot) to use external flash
as well as integrated flash (wireless didn't exist at that time). So
it worked already in the TTL era. It still does
Further to what was said:
The two flasguns were triggered at a different moment in time, one at
the leading edge of the sync pulse and the second at the trailing edge
(this is in fact rear curtain sync)
In this way the light output of each gun could be measured and
controlled independently.

The Z1-p one gives a particularly dense explanation.

Thank you to all three of you. Sounds like something useful.
I think it can be useful with on camera flash and the 540 mounted at a
flash bracket.
I have finally decided what I'll buy, one 540 (maybe a 360, or another
540 later), a short cable, a Better Beamer for birding, and a
Lumiquest bounce
That's pretty much my flash kit: a 540, a Kirk flash Xtender and the lumiquest
bounce kit. I also have the lumiquest soft box attachment. That can be useful
where reflectors don't give you enough pop.

do any of the Pentax DSLRs have manual power control
of the flash, with the istDS I sometimes get too much
light on manual, would be nice if I could lower the power.
as it is I have to resort to taping over the bulb sometimes.

Manual flash control on the popup is not available on any Pentax DSLR.
No flash control is available with non-A lenses (Every firing is full
power).
