Setting the White Balance
The color of the subject changes with the light source. For example, the same white object will be a different shade of white in daylight than under a light bulb. In cameras using film, this is adjusted by changing the film or using filters. In digital cameras, the whiteness is adjusted using white balance. The default setting is [F (Auto)].

113 Color Temperature

The color of light shifts towards blue as the color temperature rises, and towards red as the color temperature falls. Color temperature describes this change in light color in terms of absolute temperature (K: Kelvin). This camera is capable of setting the white balance to enable taking pictures with natural coloring under a variety of lighting conditions.

Adjusting the White Balance Manually
You can adjust the white balance depending on the light source when taking pictures. With Manual White Balance, the camera can store delicate shades that cannot be precisely adjusted with the white balance provided in the camera (p.112). This provides the optimum white balance for your surroundings.

Color Space
Color ranges for various input/output devices, such as digital cameras, monitors, and printers, differ. This color range is called the Color Space. To recreate different color spaces in different devices, standard color spaces have been proposed. This camera supports sRGB and AdobeRGB. sRGB is mainly used for devices such as a PC. AdobeRGB covers a wider area than sRGB and is used for occupational uses such as industrial printing. An image created in AdobeRGB may appear lighter than an image created in sRGB when output from a sRGB compatible device.

Adjusting the Focus Manually (Manual Focus)
When you adjust the focus manually, you can either check with the focus indicator in the viewfinder or use the viewfinder matte field to adjust focus.

Turn the camera mode dial and set the exposure mode to e, b, c or a mode. 5 Set the AF360FGZ power switch on the camera to [WIRELESS]. 6 Set the AF360FGZ wireless mode on the camera to a (Master) or A (Control).
Wireless mode is not available for the built-in flash. Set the AF360FGZ wireless slave mode to SLAVE1.
Wireless Flash Control (P-TTL Flash Mode)
The following information is exchanged between the two AF360FGZ flash units before the flash is discharged when the AF360FGZ is used for wireless flash. Press the shutter release button fully. 1 The cameras flash discharges a pre-flash. (The cameras flash mode is transmitted.) 2 The external flash unit discharges a pre-flash. (The subjects lighting condition is checked.) 3 The cameras flash unit discharges a pre-flash. (The required flash output is transmitted to the external flash.) * The cameras flash will discharge another pre-flash to transmit the
flash duration in HSb (High-speed sync).
4 The external flash discharges the main flash.
Set the AF360FGZ wireless slave mode to SLAVE1.

Red-Eye Reduction

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.153.
The red-eye reduction feature works even when only an external flash is used. (p.52) If red-eye reduction is used when the AF360FGZ or AF500FTZ 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.

Rear Curtain Sync Flash

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. 5
Using the Built-in Flash with the External Flash
As shown in the figure below, attach the hot shoe adapter FG (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
Discharging Multiple Flashes
To use two or more external flashes simultaneously, either use the same type of flashes as shown in the flash function chart on p.153 or use the combination of AF360FGZ/AF500FTZ/AF330FTZ and AF400FTZ/ AF240FT. The built-in flash can be combined with any type. Connect them as shown in the figure below: Attach an off-camera shoe adapter F (optional) to the external flash and the hot shoe adapter F (optional) and connect the extension cord F5P (optional) to the off-camera shoe adapter F on the other external flash.

In rare cases, the camera may not operate correctly due to static electricity. This can be remedied by taking the batteries out and putting them back in again. When the mirror remains in the up position, take the batteries out and put them back in again. Then, turn the power on, and turn the power off while pressing the shutter release button. The mirror will retract. After the procedure is done, if the camera operates correctly, it does not require any repairs.

If there are no representatives of the manufacturer in your country, send the equipment to the manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable length of time before the equipment can be returned to you owing to the complicated customs procedures required.

If the equipment is not covered by warranty, regular charges of the manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping charges are to be borne by the owner.
