Hallo that is a know buck if you are using the older TTL flashes (not for the AF360) But there is a work around. Only with ISO 400 the flash exposere is correct. With 200 it is to dark. So use 200 as -1 compensation. 400 is ok and if you want overexpose use +1, +2
Or put in 200 and +1 than is correct, 0 is -1, +2 is +1 and so on.
