Charged the batteries and did a short session of a few pictures to see if everything still works fine.

I'm happy, TTL works like a charm. To bad Sony did not continue this feature on the A6xxxx series.

Nice colourful shot , good detail .

Thank you

I take it you operated the Metz 15 MS-1 wireless TTL ?

Yes, I selected WL in the menu, with the flash up, it does TTL with the Metz Flash (channel set to all)

How do you mean Sony didn't continue this feature ?

Until today after many try-outs I still haven't found a way to get my 6300 to work WL with the Metz, without taking advantage of a external flash like Sony HVL-f20m. The bodies flash disables WL when it is up, when adding a 5600HS with hotshoe adapter and set to WL, it does not work.

.

I have the NEX 7 , and it works the same way as the a6xxx units with regards wireless TTL flash .

Only the A mount cameras control remote flashes with the on board flash for wireless TTL flash , not sure why the E-mount gear can't .

E-mount bodies can still use wireless TTL flash controlled by a suitable separate flash , so not a total loss .

Think I have to add a hvl if I like to us ttl.

See the camera specs here ;

For a suitable flash , look at this one ;

Thanks a lot for the extra info and answer
