The AF360FGZ itself does not have the function to set the FORMAT size
to [DIGITAL]. However, when it is used with a SLR Digital Camera, the
difference in focal length between 35 mm film camera and the e/
y is automatically calculated based on the difference in angle of
view (when using DA, DA L, D FA, FA J, FA or F lenses).
The conversion indicator appears and the format size indicator disappears
when the exposure metering timer of the
e/y is on (it returns
to 35 mm format display when the exposure metering timer is turned off).
* Using wide-angle panel
You can use [P-TTL Auto] with the AF540FGZ, AF360FGZ, AF200FG or
AF160FC flash unit. The flash pre-flashes before the actual flash and
confirms the subject (the distance, brightness, contrast, whether it is
backlit, etc.) using the camera 16-segment metering sensor. The flash
output for the actual flash is adjusted based on the information obtained
from the pre-flash, enabling flash photography with more appropriate
exposure for the subject than with normal TTL auto.
1 Remove the cover of the hot shoe and attach the external flash.
2 Turn on the camera and the external flash.
3 Set the external flash mode to [P-TTL auto].
4 Confirm that the external flash is fully charged and then take a picture.
