You can use the P-TTL auto flash with an 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 77-
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 accurate exposure for the subject than with normal TTL auto.
1

flash.
2
Turn on the camera and the external flash.
3
Set the external flash mode to [P-TTL].
4

a picture.

About the Display Panel for AF360FGZ
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 a 35 mm camera and this camera is
automatically calculated based on the difference in angle of view and is
displayed on the panel (when using DA, DA L, D FA, FA J, FA or F lens).
The conversion indicator appears and the FORMAT size indicator
disappears when the exposure metering timer of this camera is on
(it returns to 35 mm format display when the exposure metering timer
is turned off).
