K-1 quirks

Larry, Despite doing the software upgrade a few weeks ago, my metz 58 is still not working with the K-1. Maybe you should not have let your flash doing the software upgrade and do it yourself instead! ;-) (Those Dang[!]Ling participles ... ) I haven't had K-1 in my hands, but AF-C

I checked on the K-5 IIs I have here and AF-C works with the AF IR beam on the flash and the flash fires. I would imagine the K-3 is the same because I usually leave it in AF-C. Mine is at a friend's house right now though so I cannot check. Have you tried a pentax flash with it? It might be that

If you have the rear screen turned off on the K-3 it doesn't flash the mode as well. Best I can say is to memorize the number of clicks to your next preferred mode. You can usually tell what mode it is in by what settings are changeable in the viewfinder too. Like on the K-5 IIs AV and M are only

Another one that I forgot to ask about. With all of my other cameras, when I'd change the mode (M, Av, TAv, Tv ...) it would briefly display on the back LCD what the new mode was. Now, that doesn't happen. There doesn't seem to be a way to see the shooting mode in the dark without going to

I'm sharing this because it just bit me. I was using AF-C mode and it disabled the autofocus assist light. It also seems to disable the flash. Despite doing the software upgrade a few weeks ago, my metz 58 is still not working with the K-1. On the K-5 it shows PTTL, but on the K-1, just
