The AF360FGZ has a built-in wide-angle panel and
catchlight panel at the top of the flash head,which
can be pulled out and used as necessary.
The catchlight panel and wide-angle panel is
pulled out at the same time. When using only
the catchlight panel, return the wide-angle
panel to the storage area first.
1. Wide-angle panel
This expands the flash coverage for a 20mm lens
(645 is 35mm, 67 is a 55mm lens). When the wide-
angle panel is used, the flash zoom position will be
set to 20mm.
2. Catchlight
A catchlight is a reflection of a light source in the
eyes. It usually appears as a white dot and makes
the human subject look more lively. Set the bounce
flash angle to 90° and get close to the subject
before taking the picture.

With the AF360FGZ, you can tilt the flash head up
or down to aim at the ceiling or wall to bounce the
flash before it reaches the subject. Doing so creates
softer light and shadows to make the picture look
more natural. However, bouncing the flash will
decrease the flash intensity by the time it reaches
the subject. Therefore, use the P-TTL or TTL auto
flash mode with bounce flash to ensure a correct
exposure. The maximum upward bounce angle is
90° (click stops at 45°, 60°, 75°, 90°), and the
maximum downward bounce angle is -10°. At the 0°
angle, there is a locking mechanism. So when you
want to tilt the flash head up or down, hold down the
lock release button on the side of the flash head,
then tilt the head up or down.
During bounce flash, [ ] will be displayed on the
LCD panel. Also, the effective flash range will not be
displayed. When the bounce angle is set to
downward at-10° the effective flash range will blink.
P-TTL, TTL Auto Flash Photography
The amount of reflective light will change according
to the condition of the reflective surface, angle, and
distance. However, with TTL auto flash units bounce
flash photography can be relatively easily done.
Confirm the flash confirmation indicator in the
viewfinder or the flash units flash light confirmation
display after taking pictures.
Manual Flash Photography
The amount of light during bounce flash
photography is greatly affected by the condition of
the reflective surface, therefore test pictures should
be taken beforehand or the changing the exposure
and taking several pictures may be recommended.
When taking color photographs, if the
reflective surface for the bounce flash is
colored, the picture will be affected by the
color and unless this is intentional, a white
surface should be used.
Bounce flash photography is greatly affected
by the surrounding conditions. A photography
manual and other references are
recommended.
