  It pretty much does so, provided the slave flash doesn't overexpose
  the main subject. When in a hurry, I set the 360FGZ in auto mode on
  one stop wider aperture than the one on camera to make sure it
  provides half of the necessary light at most. For careful setups I
  prefer the manually adjusted output based on aperture, distance,
  light loss on bouncing and how important the slave is in the
  combination. Even if it works quite well - still I see the need for
  a full wireless P-TTL.
