Non Compatible external Flashes
( - 12/14/05)They claim that their Flash's are compatible. Most of the flash's functions are not available. I have the AF500 and the AF360. The TTL functions are not compatible The 500 overexposes and the 360 fires the flash before the Shutter resulting in an underexposed image. The manual function of the 360 keeps reverting back to the P-TTL. I would not suggest this camera unless you want to spend your time trying to figure out how to work the flash.
