K50 and Pre-Flash Question

Sorry for another question.

I normally don't use built-in flash a lot, but with the size and weather sealing of the K50, I'm probably going to be packing it along more than I did my old DSLR.  The pop-up flash is nothing short of HORRIBLE when it fires the pre-flash.  It makes me miss shots (reminds me of first gen digicam shutter lag frustrations) and it bothers people to no end.

I assume there isn't a way to turn this off?  If I put a TTL flash on the camera, will the K50 still fire off that pre-flash?

Other than this complaint, I'm enjoying the new camera thus far.  This was an unpleasant surprise with it, though.

Thanks.
