Contrast-Control-Sync Flash
Combining two or more AF360FGZ or using AF360FGZ in combination
with the built-in flash allows twin flash photography (contrast-control-synch
flash photography). This is based on the difference between the amounts
of light discharged from two units.
• Do not combine with accessories that have a different number of contacts
such as a Hot Shoe Grip as a malfunction may occur.
• Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause equipment
breakdown. We recommend using the PENTAX dedicated automatic
flashes.
1 Connect the external flash to the camera indirectly. (p.157)
2 Set the sync mode for AF360FGZ to the Contrast-Control-Synch mode.
3 Turn the mode dial and set the exposure mode to e, b, c or a.
4 Confirm that both the external flash and built-in flash are fully charged
and then take the picture.
• For contrast control synch flash photography when using two external
flashes, the flash set as the contrast control flash is flash 2, and the other
external flash is flash 1. When using an external flash with the built-in flash,
the built-in flash is flash 1, and the external flash is flash 2.
• When using two AF360FGZ units or an AF360FGZ unit with the built-in flash,
P-TTL is used for flash control.
• The fastest flash synchronization speed is 1/90 second in the Contrast-
Control-Synch mode.
