No, although Pentax Photo Lab may be different. Lightroom (and all 3rd party RAW converters) ignores colour balance, saturation and such settings. WB is the only colour-related setting which a 3rd party RAW converter will pay any attention to. > > The manual mentioned a couple of lenses where the on camera flash will only > work in full power mode.

In A mode you will always get some preflash as that's how the flash meters. > > As a thread tie-in, add a feature I want: Being able to set the on camera > flash to fire once, at a set level, so I can use it to trigger manual > flashes, or so that I can control the amount of fill I can get from it.
