anything on that page, but for the record, the stuff you made looks really

Yes it's an old full metal clip. There is no problem
Thanks for the translation Michel.. I'm sure all the information will come
in handy one day. I don't think I'm going to venture into making my own just
yet though, but I might sometime down the road.

There is just no good automagic way of doing multiple, off camera flashes.
With studio flashes you: get a meter, use a digital camera (even a PS) to
check a histogram (you can check this with a PS by uploading the file into
PS), or shoot many, many rolls of film. If your shooting a subject, and

comes in contact with flash pins is all plastic so the shortcutting

Hiya wise Pentaxian panel..
About using the af360fgz flash as a wireless slave with an mz5n (using the
popup flash to trigger the slave), I was wondering about this bit in the

That pretty much clears it up. I'll be on the lookout for one just like that

No TTL that way. You must manually set flash output and probably
meter manually. Also need to take into account the popup flash on the
MZ-5n.
If you want off camera flash and TTL, you are going to need cords and
connectors from Pentax.

I also am very interested in this use of slave flash. I would have expected
the TTL functions to operate normally on the camera for not only the onboard
or external mounted flash but also for the slave flash. If you set the
slave for less then you expect to need 1/16 etc, then the on camera

Whoever's brave enough to answer Dave's query, could you also drop some info
on how one would usually go about doing the settings for a remote slave
flash (triggered by the popup, no TTL). If it's a af360fgz tailored answer,
even better!
Thx,

Hi Bruce,
Just using a random example, if you're metering using the camera and it
gives you say f5.6 at 1/100 with the popup of a subject say 2 metres away
(if that is enough information), and you want to use a remote slave
(non-TTL) say to the right of the subject from say 2 metres away as well,
Dave,
You are basically correct if the popup flash is stronger than the
slave and ambient isn't too strong. The problem is, that the reason
to move the flash off camera is to make the main light not be direct.
In your proposed approach, the popup becomes the main and the
AF360FGZ becomes the

Could you please explain this further. I had actually planned on the slave
providing most of the light and the popup or hotshoe mounted flash providing
the minority of the light. I'm afraid I'm still a bit lost here. I have
