Has anyone played with this enough to figure it out?
Yes.
I set the camera at 400 and pray.
TTL flash control has never been one of Pentax's strong points, and the TTL on the istD is one of the worst implementations of technology that I have ever had the displeasure of having to tolerate.
In a nutshell, it doesn't work.
Period.
I have posted a series of shots at:
http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrobb/PDMLtemp/
All 4 shots were done within a minute of each other on programTTL mode with the 31mm lens, using a Metz 60 series flash.
The range was around 10-15 feet.
This is typical performance for this camera's TTL flash non control.
