Not sure about the official term; one of the manual describes it as Pre-fire flash TTL. It uses the flash pre-fires and multi-segment metering, instead of the off-the-film TTL flash sensor to determine the optimal exposure. So the flash output is pre-determined before the exposure, instead of controlling the flash output during the exposure in standard TTL. Apart from allowing the use of mult-segment metering, the P-TTL system also makes wireless TTL flash possible. Regarding P-TTL, Flash exposure compensation, High-speed sync and Wireless Flash sync: >Is it a function of the body or of the flash, or both? Both. >Which items support it: MZ-S, MZ-L, AF360FGZ? Yes, only MZ-S and MZ-L/MZ-6/ZX-L support it. And it only works with AF360FGZ. >Does it work with, say, AF360FGZ and MZ-5n? Or MZ-S and AF500FTZ? No and no. For flash exposure compensation feature of AF360FGZ, no, it will not work with other MZ/ZX series cameras. The function is only selectable when P-TTL mode is available. (PZ-1p's flash exposure compensation is built into the camera and will work with any TTL flash). -- --Lawrence Kwan--SMS Info Service/Ringtone Convertor--PGP:finger/www-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.vex.net/~lawrence/ -Key ID:0x6D23F3C4-- - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
