AF360FGZ FLASH MODES
The AF360FGZ has the following flash modes. Select the mode best suited for the subject.
1
P-TTL auto flash [P-TTL]
Works with the Pentax *ist, MZ-S or MZ-L/MZ-
6/ZX-L camera.
A pre-flash is fired before the main flash fires so
that the multi-segment metering sensor can
measure the subject's distance, brightness,
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.
2
TTL auto flash [TTL]
Based on the amount of light reflected off the film,
the camera adjusts the flash output automatically
to obtain a correct exposure.
This mode works with all autofocus Pentax
cameras (except *ist, MZ-S and MZ-L/MZ-6/ZX-
L), LX, Super A, 645N, and 67II.

3
Auto flash [A]
The built-in flash metering sensor adjusts the
flash output automatically.
Use with cameras that are not P-TTL or TTL Auto
flash compatible.
4
Manual flash [M]
Use the flash unit's Guide No. to calculate the
correct flash range and aperture. This mode
works with all Pentax cameras.
5
AF spotbeam beam [SB]
Under low-light or low-contrast conditions, a red
AF-assist
beam
is
emitted
to
enable
autofocusing. The flash will not fire. This works in
tandem with a Pentax autofocus camera.
