After you attached the F56 flash to your A700, you can change the flash mode to manual via "MODE". Works in M and priority mode.
mine doesn't stay as m mode..the moment u half press the shutter button in priority mode. it revert back to ttl
that's interesting. i have tried taking photos with my F56 Minolta set to manual mode at lower power ratio. no problem. Different version of F56 ?

just to be sure we doing the same thing:
1. Attach F56 flash to A700
2. Change A700 mode to Aperture priority or manual mode
3. Change flash mode via the "MODE" button on the flash to "M".
4. Change other flash setting if needed, eg flash power, HSS....
5. Take picture with flash.

Flash still at "M". :)

Just tried all the camera modes ... "AUTO", "P", "A", "S" and "M". I can changed the F56 flash to "M" and it stays that way even with half shutter press and able to take photo and the flash is still in "M" after that.

Did I miss anything or missed anything on your "priority mode" ? which priority mode are you referring to ?

Anyone else with A-700 & F56 can try it out on their set ?
