Pentax Flashes on wireless

fabian_toh · 17th November 2006

I am thinking of upgrading my current 360fgz to a 540fgz.

firstly: Is this upgrade worth it? I shoot alot of potraits

secondly: can I use my 360 as a wireless slave when I mount my 540?
540->360 wireless compatibility?

Appreciate your replies on this topic!

Thanks!
Fabian

i have no idea.

howeer, it might be helpful to state your camera model.

(and actually, look in your camera manual, it should state this.)

Yes, using the AF540, it communicate wirelessly with the AF360. If you shoot alot in vertical orientation and use bounch flash for it, I would say yes, it's worth the upgrade. You need the swivel to bounch right.
