Using the Flash Modes The AF360FGZ has the following flash modes. Select the mode best suited for the subject. Before photographing, confirm the following. 1. Whether your camera supports the desired flash mode. ➝ Cameras that Support Each Flash Mode (page 57) 2. Whether you can use the desired function with the combination of your camera and the flash mode you have set. ➝ Functions Related to Each Flash Mode (page 61 - 68) P-TTL auto flash (P-TTL) A pre-flash is discharged before the main flash so that the multi-segment metering sensor can measure the subject's distance, brightness, brightness difference, backlit condition, etc. The data obtained is incorporated to set the output of the main flash. This mode obtains more accurate results than with the conventional TTL mode. Refer to page 23 for instructions on how to use this flash mode. TTL auto flash (TTL) Based on the amount of light reflected off the film of the camera, the camera adjusts the flash output automatically to obtain a correct exposure. Refer to page 24 for instructions on how to use this flash mode. Auto flash (A) The built-in flash metering sensor adjusts the flash output automatically. Use with cameras that are not PTTL or TTL Auto flash compatible. Refer to page 25 for instructions on how to use this flash mode. Manual flash (M) When the camera is set to manual exposure, manual flash can be set to suit the subject distance and aperture. The manual flash output can be set to 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, or 1/32.
