Using the Flash
5
You can use [P-TTL auto] with the AF540FGZ, AF360FGZ, AF200FG or
AF160FC flash unit. The flash pre-flashes before the actual flash and
confirms the subject (the distance, brightness, contrast, whether it is
backlit, etc.) using the camera 77-segment metering sensor. The flash
output for the actual flash is adjusted based on the information obtained
from the pre-flash, enabling flash photography with more appropriate
exposure for the subject than with normal TTL auto.
1
Remove the cover of the hot shoe and attach the external
flash.
2
Turn on the camera and the external flash.
3
Set the external flash mode to [P-TTL auto].
4
Confirm that the external flash is fully charged and then
take the picture.

About the Display Panel for AF360FGZ
The AF360FGZ itself does not have the function to set the FORMAT
size to [DIGITAL]. However, when it is used with a SLR Digital
Camera, the difference in focal length between 35 mm film camera
and the Q is automatically calculated based on the difference in
angle of view and is displayed on the panel (when using DA, DA L, D
FA, FA J, FA or F lens).
The conversion indicator appears and the format size indicator
disappears when the exposure metering timer of the
Q is on (it
returns to 35 mm format display when the exposure metering timer is
turned off).
