As with the built-in flash, red-eye reduction is available with an external
flash. This may not be available on some flashes or may have restrictions
for usage conditions. See the chart on p.155.
When using the built-in flash with AF360FGZ that is set to the rear curtain
flash function, the internal flash will also use this mode. Confirm that both
flash units are fully charged before shooting.
As shown in the figure below, attach the hot shoe adapter F
G
(optional) to
the camera hot shoe and an off-camera shoe adapter F (optional) to the
bottom of the external flash, and connect these with the extension cord
F5P (optional). The off camera shoe adapter F comes with a tripod screw
for securing to your tripod.
Only the P-TTL auto flash can be used in combination with the built-in
flash.
When combining with the built-in flash
Red-Eye Reduction
• The red-eye reduction feature works even when only an external flash is
used. (p.54)
• If red-eye reduction is used when the AF360FGZ is set as the slave unit or
with the wireless function, the preflash for red-eye reduction will trigger the
external flash. Do not use red-eye reduction when using a slave unit.
