Hello Tanya, #7 - I'm not sure if you are totally understanding the high speed synch issue. P-TTL or TTL for that matter don't rely on camera modes (AV, TV, P, M), they rely on the amount of light coming into the camera. So you can set the camera manually if you choose and let the flash fire away.
Last question - As to the usage between camera and flash (AF360FGZ), set the camera as if you were NOT using a flash, so if you were shooting manually, set shutter speed and f stop, or in one of the automatic modes, set either the shutter speed or f stop. On the flash, when the lower synch slider is all the way to the right (HS), you can push the S button and rotate the dial to set the amount of flash you desire compared to the ambient light. So, if you want 1 stop less flash than ambient, set the flash to -1. From then on the flash will respond with 1 stop less light than the ambient reading in the camera. Basically the flash output is lowered or raised based on the compensation setting on the flash. HTH, Bruce Tuesday, March 23, 2004, 4:36:25 AM, you wrote: >snip< TMP> 7.
