Does this flash work with the Sony a9 camera?
It’s compatible with all Sony cameras with a Multiple Interface Shoe…including a9…
I have tried this flash on the a9 and it does not work. I have tried it on the a7II and it does work – can you see any reason it would not work on the a9?
Set the camera to “Mechanical Shutter”
Brian, thank you so much for your help – I really appreciate it
Cheers Sandy
