You can't use the K100D (or K10D) built in flash as a trigger flash for slaves, normally, as the P-TTL preflash will fire the slaves early. Best thing to do is to fit a small flash unit with an IR filter over the main tube. That will not pre-flash and will fire the slaves at the right time. Or use an RF wireless flash trigger.
