It says here on sony website the 7d and 5d will work with “multiple flash” whatever that may mean:

But if the person who wrote says that this flash works only as a slave and not as trigger, and on newer sony cameras, I believe them since the camera is far removed, supposedly the 3600hsd does not work at all in ttl with some newer cameras (MIS models), despite being a newish flash model it doesn’t have the same compatiblity for some reason. 5600hsd will work on a sony a7 for example.

That's correct , when used on a film camera as you are .

It's only if you wanted to use them on a digital camera that it's different .

The flashes came out before Minolta brought out the Dynax 7d and 5d , so don't mention them on the manual .
