I have an a55 & a Minolta 2500D flashgun, are they compatible?

Please see above, I understand they are compatible but I can only use the ADI setting, not the TTL, is that correct? Has anyone out there still got the manual for the 2500D as I can't find mine and would love a copy if possible.

Thanks.

Thanks also to the 2 guys who advised me what the V on the end of the model meant, most helpful.

I believe what you say about ADI is correct, there is a copy of the manual at http://www.rogerprovins.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/2500(D).pdf .

You may find this of interest regarding TTL and ADI Modes: -

I think the following Minolta flashes are fully compatible with Sony Alpha in auto mode: -

3600HS (D), 5600HS (D), 2500(D), MACRO RING FLASH1200, MACRO TWIN FLASH2400.

The following flashes can be used but may not be controlled automatically:

5400HS, 5400Xi, 3500Xi, 2000Xi, 5200i, 3200i, 2000i, 4000AF(*), 2800AF(*), 1800AF(*).
*Flash shoe adapter FS-1100 is required.
