In mettered TTL for the slave?

Okay, that's why using the popup flash as a slave trigger works in my
studio. I always shoot in manual exposure mode there. And since I
haven't tried it more than once or twice, it may well have been with a
K lens.

No. You have to do it the old fashioned way. But that's the only way I
shoot in my studio or when I use studio strobes on location. With
digital it's not very difficult. You don't even have to do any math.
Guess, shoot and look. Once you know your equipment, it's easy to come
within a stop
To me, this is far more serious than losing use of the aperture ring.
Almost all of my indoor flash photography is done with the wireless 360
bounced and the RTF providing a little fill to avoid shadow cast. This
means I can bounce the 360 off the most appropriate surface because I
can point it

You can use the 360 as a slave.
I also suspect that this information might be wrong. It doesn't make
much sense. I wouldn't get my shorts in a knot over it quite yet.

Hope you are right Paul.
Cant believe they would do something like this - there is no justifiable
reason for it, unless you were selling a camera without RTF.
The use of RTF other than as a controller could arguably not belong on a
higher end model like this, so if they were going to nobble it,

Can't you set your second flash as a slave? Functionally, it's the
same thing.

Don't get it, what do you mean by second flash. Why would he have 2
accessory flashes? Just to trigger the other one? I am buying onto the
compact, light Pentax system so
Could be, there is ample evidence!

The on-camera pop-up flash will trigger another flash without wires
if the other flash is in slave mode.

That only works if the built-in flash is not in P-TTL mode, otherwise
the first flash will trigger the external flash and not the flash at
time of exposure. I use slave-triggered flash all the time, but not
with the built-in flash unit as I have to switch to manual exposure
mode and take
