But the 360 does convert the focal length to the digital equivalent field of view.

Whatever the AF540 or AF360 say on the LCD - it's correct
Connecting to a dSLR will automatically sort out the correct angle of view.
Just trust me

Just got this flashgun and have noticed that it has a 35mm,645,67 and digital format setting unlike the AF360FGZ that doesn't have the digital format setting.
Is the digital format the one to use with the K20D ? as it seems to default to this when mounted on the camera.
If this is the case it means it will only zoom to 58mm even when using my 17-70mm lens at 70mm.
Is this something to do with the 1.5 crop factor ?
Thanks
Jason
