Before taking the picture, firing a modeling flash helps
you to see how shadows are cast on the subject.
Procedure
Slide the setting switch down [yellow dot].
Check that the flash is ready, then press the
MODELING button. The flash will fire
continuously for one second.
After firing the modeling flash, slide the setting
switch up [white dot].
To prevent the flash tube from overheating or
deteriorating, do not fire the modeling flash
more than 10 consecutive times. After the
tenth time, let the flash unit rest for at least 10
minutes.
When used with *ist, the flash pop-up button
on the camera can also be used for modeling
flash.
When used with the MZ-S, the illumination
button on the camera can also be use for
modeling flash. (Please refer to the cameras
operating manual)

AF360FGZ feature a built-in red spotbeam projector
to assist the autofocus system in dim light and low-
contrast conditions. When using the flash with
autofocus camera in dark conditions, the spotbeam
will be projected automatically depending on the
ambient lighting conditions. With the sync mode
switch set to [S.B.], the AF360FGZ can be used
exclusively as a focusing aid in dim light.
1. Set the main switch to the [ON] position.
2. Set the sync mode switch to the [SB] position.
3. Set the camera to the autofocus mode.
4. Press the shutter release button halfway down.
The AF spotbeam will automatically be projected
lights up indicating that you are ready to shoot.
The AF spotbeam does not work in bright light
conditions.
If the In-focus indication does not light up in
several seconds, it means that the subject is
hard to autofocus. In this case, use the manual
focus mode to focus on the subject.
To change the composition, raise your finger
off the shutter release button and press it
halfway down again to recompose the picture.
When using the AF360FGZ's built-in AF
spotbeam, the AF spotbeam built into the
camera will not operate.
The AF spotbeam on the flash unit works
accurately only when mounted onto the
camera's hot shoe. The AF spotbeam does not
operate accurately when the bounce flash is
used.
The flash does not fire when using the
AF360FGZ spotbeam exclusively as a focusing
aid.
The AF spotbeam does not work with SF 7
camera, refer to page 27.

MODELING FLASH/TEST FLASH
SLOW-SPEED-SYNC FLASH
Using the AF360FGZ Spotbeam Exclusively as a
Focusing Aid
When using a normal flash to photograph a subject
in a night or evening setting, the background will
appear very dark because a normal flash light
cannot sufficiently light it. However, it is possible to
balance both subject and background by using the
flash to properly expose the foreground subject and
a slow shutter speed to expose the low light
background.
When used with the *ist or MZ-S, modeling
flash is also possible with wireless (Refer to
page 37). (Refer to the camera operating
manual for the camera settings).
Test flash
Check that the flash is ready, then press the TEST
button. The test flash can be operated.
