Thanks Bruce and Joe. I found that the user guide says: "Standard TTL flash is available when used with other Pentax TTL flash enabled camera bodies."
I guess that means it can be used in manual, which I do most of the time anyway (with PZ-1 and MZ-S). TTL still works in manual with thes bodies. This is esoecially convenient with the MZ-S, because setting to manual takes just one small twist of the time wheel!

Joe, Minor correction - the AF360FGZ will only do P-TTL on bodies that support P-TTL. On other bodies it will do regular TTL. The MZ-S and *ist/*istD use P-TTL. The way I work it, I use the 360 for daylight flash fill for my weddings and portraits because of the high speed flash synch and flash exposure compensation. For the receptions and such (lower light) I use AF400T's in regular TTL mode with some compensation. This combination is working satisfactorily for me. -- Best regards, Bruce Saturday, April 17, 2004, 12:38:05 PM, you wrote: JT> "Can anyone explain to me what P-TTL fashj is, please.
