About using the af360fgz flash as a wireless slave with an mz5n (using the popup flash to trigger the slave), I was wondering about this bit in the manual:
"To prevent accidental short-circuiting of the flash unit's hot shoe contacts, attach the Off-Camera Shoe Grip or Off-Camera Shoe Clip CL-10 when using the flash unit as a slave unit."
and this bit in a separate section:
"When using a flash unit separated from the camera, use of the Off-camera shoe adapter F or the Off-camera shoe clip CL-10 is recommended."
While the latter remark seems a bit more passive, the former seems to warn of dire consequences. Since I don't have either accessory, I was wondering what the real risk is (of using a wireless slave without a clip, grip thingie). Also, how much do they cost anyway (anyone got spares lying around they want to offload?)
I use a "home made" shoe with full metal socket: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/krg/photo/bricolage.htm#Support flash
