I do not own a K10 anymore but I remember I 'brutaly' tested integrated flash exposure by firing it in front of a mirror. * The K10 shot was almost unusable, the whole mirror completely eaten by the flash light. * The K7 shot however was different, still eaten by the flash light of course, but I could use the rest of the mirror image if I wanted. Only the area near the flash reflection was unusable.
