Yup, that would have been a good idea, had I thought of it. That was one of the first 12 images I took with the K-01. At that point, I wasn't even certain it HAD a built-in flash, and I hadn't yet tried to connect my flash unit to the camera. In fact, I remember being surprised later in the day when the flash popped up. The built-in flash looks and pops up much differently than the one in my K-r.
