Actually I think Metz makes some controlled flash (small ones
unfortunately) which sould work OK with that. They are supposed to
learn the delay between preflash and actual flash.
Those are obvioulsy made to use an external (small) flash with PS
cameras. But the technology seems to exit.

You can't use the K100D (or K10D) built in flash as a trigger flash
for slaves, normally, as the P-TTL preflash will fire the slaves
early. Best thing to do is to fit a small flash unit with an IR
filter over the main tube. That will not pre-flash and will fire the
slaves at the right
Hey list,
I hoped to be able to use built-in flash of my K100D to release BIG
Electra 80 slave flash units but o my surprise them always lighted late,
from my experience I can say they start with main flash lights goes off
and only reason they late can be that built-in flash releases before
What shutter speed are you using?

You could with a pre-A lens attached (which switches the popup to
full-power manual instead of P-TTL) but getting small flash unit with an
IR filter is probably a better option.

A/F/FA/D-FA lenses all work that way, just take them off the A
setting with the aperture ring. DA lenses cannot be taken off the A
setting, of course.
The small flash with IR filter works with any lens.

It doesn't matter what shutter speed he is using. The K100D will not
fire the flash at exposure times shorter than the maximum X sync
unless an external flash with HSS control is used.
