I think you need the digital pin.  But I do know how to trick the *istD
and AF360FGZ into working TTL instead of P-TTL.  Use a lens not set to
A.  The flash will still say it's in P-TTL mode but it gives a single
flash and exposes correctly.  Put the lens back on A and you have P-TTL
- double flash and matrix metering.

That's all there is to it.  You just can't do it with an FA-J or DA
lens.
