I suspect the communication will set off any flash in slave mode
prematurely.  The 360FGZ also has a built in slave mode though.  You could
use the non wireless flash on camera or with a cord to trigger the 360, but
it will be in manual mode only here.  The 360 does have variable power
settings in manual though.

Subject: Slave flash using wireless question


I'm using the AF360FGZ flash in wireless mode off to the side and I want
to use another flash on the opposite side to balance the light.  But I
don't have another AF360FGZ.  I have another non-wireless Pentax flash
and can get a slave trigger for it.  Is it possible to use one of these
"slave"  flash triggers that fire the flash when they detect the master
flash going off, or is the communication between the master flash and
the AF360FGZ going to set it off prematurely?  If this doesn't work, how
can this setup be achieved short of getting another AF360FGZ?  If
necessary, I could go wired, but have never done this with more than one
flash.

TIA,

Gonz
