Just because the K-1 has a GPS doesn't mean it knows about DST. For that you need an extra file of info listing for every country in the world the dates that DST in that country begins and ends. My Garmin gps for example has such a list (and that list gets regular updates) and the firmware to make use of such a list. I doubt Pentax implements such a scheme or distributes such a list. Understanding timezones is bad enough [1], understanding the continually changing DST laws is harder. That's why there's the DST checkbox in the menu system.
