I've been away for a few days, so just catching up on my PDML news/views. Actually the pre-flash is there even if you do not use the AF360 remotely because it fires a control flash to measure the flash with the multi-zone meter system (P-TTL) and that is what I believe one sees through the viewfinder. Of course if using the flash remotely, then there are a further series of control flashes so the camera and flash communicate info to each other. All appearing as one contiguous flash with no apparent shutter delay.
Cheers, Mike.
