A6000 does not work with HVL-F60M

I have upgrded point and shoot camera A6000 7 months. I recently bought Sony flash HVL-F60M. I installed the flash on the upper flange of the camera. He went away, but the image does not receive the light from the flash. I tested it in the room with all the lights off. The flash went off, but the picture is black. I have toggled the TTL and HSS. The flash went off, but the image is still dark.

Could you please help?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mike,.

My only guess why iAuto and P do not shoot the flash because it is automated enough to get an image quite balanced without the flash, it has not reached the point when to use the flash.

S and A, you can adjust the variables which will affect the requirement of flash or not only a little more.

TTL, if I quite understand, is the automatic mode. Try turn it on, put the camera on M, the shutter speed to 1/100, opening autour f5 or more, ISO at 100 or more, dark night, so turn off the lights and the darkroom, point it anywhere, manual focus (because the car will not be able to focus on anything either, because it's pitch black) and fire. See if the image captures the light.

Try TTL power off, put the flash in manual mode, adjust the power half way, and then try the photo above - 1/100, f5, ISO100.
I just did this, manual mode on my Yongnuo and my a65 captured the light - no problems, work.

You mentioned that the image comes out underexposed, so I'm just wondering if maybe it's just the power being set too low and the shutter or opening and things too high.
TTL should correct this problem, but sometimes you never know.

My only other guess is defined in the device itself - flash mode is slow sync? Sync back? etc.
As as well as any option of curtain - the a65 in menu fixes distortion and others, there is an option for the front curtain, try to take a shot with it, and one with it, see what happens.

Other that that, I don't know what else it could be.

Regarding the outbreak, I haven't looked in the a6000 specifications and the F60M specifically, but it does not say that the camera has the ability to control the flash of the camera itself? I haven't heard of these yet, so I don't think that it is - please correct me if I'm wrong.
Reason I ask is, if it does not say that (which cameras offer very few - I think that Nikon or Canon has only a very small selection of cameras, which actually allow you to control the flash of the camera itself, have not heard of all the Sony cameras that still), while Sony has not lied about the a6000.

By saying off-camera Flash, this applies to all cameras in general - all Speedlite flashes can be triggered off camera, the condition is, however, demanding additional and receivers, triggers that don't say.

So using off camera, Yes, it works, and it can be done either by the cameras while the speedlite flash is * mode (which I assume is not what you want), or by the triggers that you need to buy (including Sony, to my knowledge, did not lie or attempted to hide the fact go or whatever it is)-generally the Speedlites need addition that I have not heard from all the cameras Sony transmitters and receivers trigger off camera, unless you want to use the camera flash, or if the device has the possibility of a link to the speedlite, still having, nor claims to have.
