Question regarding 360 flash unit

Hiljon · 2009-08-05T00:34:54+0100

Now I got the flash and having read the manual between patients I seem to be getting to grips with it. However, I have a question ... using with a K200D, can you use the 360 flash in a wireless set up, but only have the 360 fire and not the camera pop-up - say for side lighting. I may have misread, but it seems that you have to have the pop-up fire as well in a wireless environment. Thanks for the help thus far.

Anvh: I am not 100% sure whether the AF360FGZ was in Master mode but it was on the hotshoe and ISO was automatic and no way to set the sync speed above 1/180. I'll check the Master issue tomorrow.

Yes you are right that it doesn't work with auto iso, sorry about the mistake

But wireless HSS does work with fix ISO but you can not use the on-board flash as trigger, you need to use another external flash to trigger another flash.

My photography bag is already too bulky for transport with the whole family and setting up another external flash would be too complicated in most family situations. If I could play just with photos I would definitely try it but now I am lucky for the 1/180 with the standard wireless. Thanks anyway!
