ANY camera with a hot shoe will trigger this flash. If this unit has an A (Automatic) mode similar to Nikon Flash units, then the flash unit itself can control the flash output via the built-in sensor..once an aperture and ISO are set on the flash. It is not a dedicated unit for sure, but you can use any camera in Manual mode, then set the camera's aperture and iso to match the iso and f/stop of the flash unit.. and voila!, perfect exposures without any overdone flash unit menu settings!!! I use this all the time on my SONYA6000 in Manual mode when shooting events where the flash is the main light source., just making adjustments to my f/stop (and shutter speed for better fill-in effects) after a preview exposure. It is also very easy to intentionally over or under expose the photo by changing the camera's f/stop setting. The flash output stays constant because it is working independently (fyi it does NOT help in any way with autofocusing). fyi I use auto white balance, it seems to be me much more accurate than selecting a flash white balance option.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not at all. There is no compatibility on the Sony cameras. The flash contacts are totally different
