tom, You are correct. That will work also. The 360FGZ is nice in that the auto mode can be set to most any f-stop in it's range - unlike many flashes that just have 2 or 3 settings.
I don't really know just how fast the changing of the compensation dial is on the 645NII. If he does eventually go to a leaf shutter, then he will need to use the method that I described because TTL doesn't work with the leaf shutters. In my work, I have found that the slow flash synch speed (1/60th on the 645) is a fairly limiting factor in outdoor daylight. So, to summarize, there are two acceptable methods: 1) With the flash set to TTL mode, manually meter the camera. Then set the exposure compensation to the value that you desire. 2) With the flash set to Auto, meter the camera in any mode you choose. Note the chosen f-stop and then set the flash to f-stop value of choice to control flash output.
