Default Basic Minolta flash questions

Hi -

If the camera (Maxxum 7) is set to f/8 in A-mode, does setting the
flash (5600 HS) compensation dial to +1 change the flash output to
f/5.6 or f/11? (My guess is the former). Flash is in TTL-mode.

Why does the flash range (as shown on the flash's display panel)
decrease when setting flash compensation to +1? If the flash is
putting out more light, shouldn't the range increase rather than
decrease? To put it another way, if the flash output is changed to
f/5.6, dividing the GN by 5.6 results in a bigger number (distance)
than does dividing by 8.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Dave
