The current Minolta AF/Sony Alpha flash system has grown quite complex, and it is not
very well covered in the manuals. That's because this would involve
to cover some very basic concepts, and there are many combinations
of cameras and flash units with different capabilities that would have to be
documented. What I try here is to explain how the Minolta flash system works
in detail. This compendium assumes that you have some basic
knowledge of photography, ie. you know that an aperture is and you
know how a shutter works. Sony has taken over further development of the Minolta A mount (now Sony Alpha mount)
and has also kept the Minolta AF flash system with their new DSLRs. When
this compedium says "Minolta", the same is true for "Sony Alpha", too,
except when noted otherwise.
