In normal electronic flash photography, the flash
fires at the instant the first shutter curtain completes
its travel. This is referred to as the leading-shutter-
curtain sync flash. In the trailing-shutter-curtain
sync flash mode, the flash is fired at the instant the
second curtain begins its travel. This mode will
freeze the subject with a blur appearing before the
subject under a slow shutter speed condition. Using
a leading-shutter-curtain sync flash will freeze the
subject with a blur appearing after the subject.
■ Procedure
Set the power switch to the [ON] position.
Set the sync mode switch to the TRAILING
CURTAIN [ ] position.
Set the zoom position according to the lens in
use.
Confirm the Ready lamp lights up and then
discharge the flash.
•
P-TTL or TTL auto flash mode is automatically
set when the flash fires even if the flash mode is
set to the manual mode.
• The built-in flash on the SF/ZX-series and Z-
10/PZ-10 cameras do not feature the trailing-
shutter-curtain capability : it does not
discharge when combined with the AF360FGZ.
• When the camera's exposure meter is
switched ON, the trailing-shutter-curtain-sync
mode will be automatically set on the flash
unit.

When using the flash unit while it is detached from the camera, refer to the diagram for correct connections.
• If you have an *ist, MZ-S or MZ/ZX-series camera, be sure to attach Hot Shoe Adapter FG. Attaching
Hot Shoe Adapter F will not activate the built-in flash from popping up.
• With other cameras, you can use Hot Shoe Adapter F instead of Hot Shoe Adapter FG.
• If you attach Hot Shoe Adapter F to the camera and attach the flash unit on top of it, the flash unit
will be prone to slip off and cause an accident.
