Review on 📸 Pentax AF360FGZ II Flash: A Versatile Companion for Pentax DSLR Cameras by Brett Morrison

As with many OEM flash and camera combinations, and even with Auto ISO 800 or 1600, the shutter speed chosen is often very slow - for example 1/15 or 1/30 sec. I do not understand. I use this for indoor photography and prefer AV mode, but even with jitter reduction I don't trust it to produce really sharp images at these slow shutter speeds. So I have to use TAV mode set to 1/100-1/160 and f6.3-8.0 with auto max ISO at 800 and it works fine. In P or TV mode, it automatically chooses the widest aperture, which rarely delivers a comparable IQ. a few stops down. Otherwise, the build quality is very good and solid. It's a small flash that I really like on my K5 II or K30 and has enough power for my needs. It features HSS, master/slave modes, a nice backlit LCD display and it's very easy and quick to switch power supplies when needed. I would have liked an additional diffuser. Would have given 5 stars if the slow shutter speed hadn't been chosen.
