AF540 + AF360 on wireless

netuser · 03-28-2009, 04:27 PM

Hi

I remmember to see on some thread a video explaining how to use AF540 + AF360 together on wireless mode on a k20d/k200d with camera flash only used to trigger the two external flashes.

Have been looking for this video/thread for a while but can't manage to find it.

Does anyone remme,ber and know where I can find this explaining/tutorial video ?

Thanks in advance

It was on the Pentax web site, but it vanished with the redesign. The other one (hot-shoe mounted flash) is back, but this one isn't yet.

It's pretty basic.

Set the camera flash to be a wireless control only in the flash menu.
Set each of the other flashes to Slave mode.
Set both flashes to the same channel by mounting them on the camera once each and choosing the same channel.
Set the external flash exposure compensation if you need to.
As you are not using the built in flash, no flash exposure compensation is required on the camera.

Good luck!
