About the LCD panel display for AF360FGZ
• The AF360FGZ will automatically convert the
field angle differential between 35mm and the
w format resulting from the focal length of
the lens you are using. (When using FA J, FA, or
F lenses)
• Display the format size for w during the
exposure metering timer of the camera is turned
on when combining the AF360FGZ with the
w. (It returns to a 35mm format display
when the exposure metering timer is turned off.)
