The 645, N1 and NX all have the 5 connector hot shoe, and I have seen the flash zoom on the N1. Oddly enough the RX, AX and Aria also have the 5 connector hot shoe, I cannot see how those 3 bodies know the focal length of the lens in use as no electronic linkage to the lens on them, but perhaps there is some other feature of the TLA 360 that they can use.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4063421031760090709.post-17800472327637740502018-03-13T18:26:20.255+00:002018-03-13T18:26:20.255+00:00Thanks for the additional info.

The manual for one of the later flashes TLA280 or TLA360, indicates that it is not fully compatible with the earlier camera models, as you indicated.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
