Fill in flash with the Di7i

Rudolf said:

Is there a way one can use the on camera flash as a fill in light
when using the 3600HS(D) remotely?

I have tried it but all the on camera flash does is provide enough
light to triger the 3600HS. When I use my 700si with 5400SH, I can
use a number of different ratios It would of been nice if the 540HS
would of worked with the Di7i, but unfortunately it doesn't.

Cheers,
Rudi.

I don't have an external flash or even a D7i (I have a D5)--but the
manual for the D5/D7 says the 5600HS(D) and 3600HS(D) work with the
cameras and I would be surprised if Minolta changed that for the
D7i. Are these the flash units you have? The note about external
flash units is on p.138 of the D5/D7 manual (online at Minolta's
site in Acrobat format if you need it). Perhaps you can make an
improvement by changing the flash metering mode? Good luck. - Jean

The 3600HS(D) does work with D7i. However, I would like to use the
on camera flash as a fill and the 3600HS off camera as a main. I
have read the manual back to front but it does not mention this
configuration. It would seem that all you can do with the on camera
flash is use it to triger the 3600HS(D).
