1 Firstly, set the wireless mode and channel of the AF360FGZ, and register the channel on the camera.

Turn the camera off and then attach the

AF360FGZ to the hot shoe of the camera.

Set the power switch of the flash unit to (WIRELESS).

Set the wireless mode switch to (S), so that SLAVE is displayed in the upper right corner of the LCD panel.

You cannot set the flash unit to SLAVE while the exposure metering timer is on (while information relating to aperture etc. is displayed in the

viewfinder).

Slide down the setting switch to the (yellow dot) to display the channel on the LCD panel.

Press the channel button (CH) and select a channel from 1CH to 4CH.

Slide the setting switch back up to the (white

dot).

When you turn the camera on and press the shutter release button halfway down, the channel is registered on the camera.

2 Next, remove the flash unit from the camera and place it in the desired position.

Press the flash mode button (MODE) to display (P-TTL) if the flash mode was set to the modes other than P-TTL auto.

3 Enable the built-in flash unit of the camera and set the camera flash mode to (WIRELESS).

4 Confirm that the AF360FGZ and built-in flash unit

are fully charged, and take the photograph. A lamp on the AF360FGZ will blink.

In the P-TTL mode, flash output setting (1/1, 2/3, 1/2, and 1/3) and flash exposure compensation (- 3.0 to +1.0) are possible. (Refer to page 15.)

The flash mode on the camera must be set to

(WIRELESS), otherwise the AF360FGZ will not fire.

By changing the camera's function settings, you can set the built-in flash unit so that it is not the main flash. Refer to the operating manual for the camera to find out how.

For test flash, refer to page 55.
