I mostly use the 360FGZ off camera with the MZ-S in wireless mode. I can bounce off anything I like or have the light come from anywhere. I haven't tried using it with an umbrella yet, but I don't think it would have any problems. While a guide number of 36 doesn't sound very powerful, it's always been enough.
