I have had this sort of problem with Nikon DSLRs and flash. It appears that the flash/camera combo is overly sensitive to highly reflective surfaces and either deliberately (to avoid blowing out highlights) or inadvertantly underexposes. I've had luck using the flash in the 45 degree bounce position with an omnibounce, and simply setting flash exposure compensation (I assume the Pentax combo will do that...) DJE
