Weird problem with onboard flash on my PZ 1 / advice sought

Hi all, perhaps someone else has had this problem: My onboard flash won't work with certain lenses. Mainly, my off brand autofocus lenses like a sigma 18-35, and a tamron 28-300, both recent versions of the lens. It is not reserved exclusively for non pentax lenses either. My pentax FA 50/2.8 ma
