This is also known as trailing curtain sync. The AF 360 certainly has it - look at your handbook.
No idea if the Kx has it - it will be in the flash menu if it does. Again read your handbook.

Thanks. I saw it, but the explanation was a bit different from what Kelly was saying.
Once again, thanks.

Like Gwyn said, Pentax calls it Trailing curtain sync and the pop-up flash of the K-X can do that.
Also the Af360, it's the icon with the flash on the differnt side of the arrow (sorry that I can't be clearer)

Thanks. Just wish they would just call it same name. Too many different names and more or less similar functions lol.

Yes, but rear sync or trailing curtain sync are the same thing.Thanks. I saw it, but the explanation was a bit different from what Kelly was saying.
It's that the flash only fires just before the last/rear/trailing curtain closes.
Normally you wouldn't say that would have an effect to get the background brighter with flash but with these modes the camera meters as normal like without a flash so you get a longer exposure so more ambient/background light on your photo.

Yes Scott Kelby's description is a bit different but that's what it is.

I am not sure this function is available on a Pentax Kx or is it called something else? I am not sure this function is available on the Af360 flash gun either.
Can anyone shed further lights? Thanks.
