K-3 Flash Issues

1. Unacceptable prolonged shutter delay in P-TTL mode:

Some K-3 users reported that the delay was particularly long, noticeably much longer than that of the K-5, which was not that noticeable.

Another thread at the Taiwanese PFC Pentax forum also states the same thing:

A petition is being raised.

2. EXIF is not stored correctly for whether the flash is turned on or off:
