question
When using a6000 with this flash The AF Assist Light (on the flash) works? Or Just the AF beam on camera body?
My assumption is that the AF Assist Light on the flash works. I am not a technocrat, but why have it on there if it does not work. Just seems logical that it does.

I have the A99ii , a7s, and a6000. I also have the HVL-F43AM flash. Will I be able to use the HVL-F43M flash with all 3 cameras? Will I be able to use F43am as a slave off the F43m and can I use the F43m as a slave off of the F43am.

question
I was wondering if this would be a good choice for the Sony A9 camera or would there be a different Sony Flash that would be a better choice to use with the Sony A9 camera? Thank You!

Hi Jacob, The HVL-F45RM also needs FA-WRC1M trigger when used as an off-camera flash. -Anthony

question
will this work with the Elinchrom EL-Skyport Transmitter Plus HS system?
I am sorry, but I don't know. I have only used the flash as plugged into the Sony RX10 mark 2 camera.

question
Will this work on a77 mark 2?
Love this flash on A77ii, highly recommended. The red beam light works well in dim light for fast focus and with auto iso, nearly every exposure spot on, in direct or bounce mode indoors. Extend with white slotted card in bounce if high ceilings though.

question
Could Sony F43M External Flash be connected to Sony RX100M5 ?
Looking at other answers in this question forum the flash can be triggered remotely from a pop up flash which RX100M5 has. The Sony rep also mentions some flashes compatiable. By the way love the flash on my A77ii.
