Gonz, I haven't done much flash with the K-7 and 540. I'll have to try more. The K-7's on camera flash has been OK with the 31mm limited lens, but I don't care much for the pre-flash and lag associated with it. I kept my DS2 because I understand how to get reliable flash exposures out of it. I think that's kind of sad, but there it is. Regards, Bob S.
