Pentax AF360FGZII flash stuck in wireless mode

[smoke665]

Somehow I've managed to turn the wrong thing and now have This $*&%# thing stuck in P-TTL W (wireless). The manual gives limited instructions on how to set it to wireless but nothing about turning it off. Anyone have a similar flash

Problem solved.

I was going to suggest pulling the batteries for a few minutes.

Good suggestion. I pulled the batteries a couple times, replaced with new, but I didn't let it sit fot awhile or try to discharge the flash.

Even leaving it turned on when pulling the batteries. You want to make sure any capacitors discharge, too

@snowbear somewhere deep in the fog of my old brain I vaguely remember this happening once before and I believe you have to turn on the wireless while on the camera, then shut down camera and flash, then remove it. To get it off wireless is a similar on/off attachment method I apparently accidentally stumbled onto.
