My question has nothing to do with AF400T and P mode.
My question mainly deals with AF500FTZ (or AF360FGZ, or built-in flash) and
Av mode, for using fast apertures in order to increase flash range and/or
reduce flash recycling.Well Dario, I think it is not applicable to AF360FGZ, which works in pre-flash P-TTL mode and doesn't have any problems with fast apertures - I tried it with f1.7 and everything was just OK. Just sometimes there are situations when you need to be at certain minimal distance to subject to avoid overexposure (there must be some limitations to P-TTL), but it is indicated on flash' LCD panel.
OK, left aside the AF360FGZ (not enough powerful for my purpose) let's discuss a TTL-only flash, such as the AF500FTZ, which is the one I own and the one I need for having enough range.
And no problems with overexposure at minimum distance, well known to me.
My problem deals with long distance shooting, for increasing the flash range at outdoor events.
