Hi,
The spec sheet on the Pentax US Web site says the following:
<quote>
- High-speed flash synchronization up to 1/6000 sec. with built-in flash or
with new AF360FGZ wireless TTL flash unit
<unquote>
Q) How does the sync up to 1/6000 work ? (multiple flash bursts ??)
Yes, that's how it's been described to me.
The spec sheet also says:
<quote>
- AF360FGZ wireless flash unit allows multiple flash units to be controlled
without cords and with TTL flash exposure; contrast control flash settings give
multiple contrast levels.
<unquote>
Q1) Do all the flash units in a multi flash arrangement have to be AF360GFZs ?
Yes. Since the MZ-S is the first body to offer this, the flash introduced with the
body will naturally be the first flash to take advantage of it.
Q2) Is the remote flash controller some sort if IR / Radio transmitter ?
Yes.
Q3) If Q2 is yes, then is the transmitter built into the camera or the AF360FGZ ?
The transmitter is built into the RTF on the camera.
Q4) If the MZ-S has no on board "transmitter" then what about a separate pair of
gadgets (possibly third part) that fit onto the camera hotshoe & flash. This would
allow users with an existing investment in flashes like AF500FTZ, METZ & many others
to acheive the same functionality. (Pentax r u reading this ?)
There are third-party transmitters of all kinds, but I don't think any of them offer
TTL capabilities.
:-)

Oh, and for Dick: The flash comp has apparently been built into the 360. At least,
that's my understanding.
