I would like to buy an external flash for my camera. It has an
"advanced accessory shoe" on it and I thought that I could just buy any
external flash (non-Sony). I stopped in a Wolf Camera store yesterday
and was told that only a Sony flash would work - that Sony used a
special pin design in their shoes and nothing else would work. However,
in surfing today I found a "Digi-Slave" flash which claims to work with
all Sony models (as well as many others). Can someone tell me the
truth? Also, I don't understand the difference between a slave flash
vs. ordinary flash -- and TTL or ADI -- I'm just an average user and
don't understand the technology. I just want to take better flash
pictures and the built in flash is inadequate in many situations.
Thanks in advance for any help.
