NEX-6 / A6000 etc : can I use an external slave TTL flash? on a full M(Menual) mode?

[yaronad]

External slave TTL flashs like the new S&S ys-03, can't worke at "full manual mode" on Canon,pansonic etc.
only at the P / A or S modes etc.


Is it different with Sony? NEX-6 for example?


Can I set the Camera to M mode - and set the A, the S and the iso values ....and the ttl will work 100%?


If yes = how to / flash setup?

As far as I can tell, the A6000 only shoots in TTL mode, there is no option for manual flash. I shoot the camera mostly in manual strobe mode (override the pre-flash) but TTL in my hands at least works OK, not great. The problem is that the A6000 on land doesn't implement TTL perfectly at all say compared to CaNikon.

Ok thx man....
What exactualy is the TTL mode at the set up ?....could't find / recognised it

And also in general = is it possible on the A6000 to set a minimum S value? when I'm on the A mode ?or set a minimum A value When I'm on the S mode ?

Yaronad - it is only Canon compacts like the G15, G16, S120 where you can't use the YS-03 when the camera is in manual mode, because the Canon compact's don't pre-flash in manual mode.

I hope that helps!
