Re: A7rII and Nissin Di700a wireless flash
It has TTL both on camera and with air commander. I used TTL with the above shots but I dialed it down 1/2 stop so it does not look like flash. This is full featured
Re: A7rII and Nissin Di700a wireless flash
There is an A mode when the flash is on the camera, but not when its off camera. That would be relatively difficult to engineer.
I also got 1/250th before it switched to HSS.
My recollection is that if HSS is not turned on on the speedlite, the camera does not offer shutter speeds above 1/250.

It does have pretty easy manual control over the light output, so it might be useable on your other camera.
If you're talking about the old-fashioned sort of 'auto' mode (i.e. like a Vivitar 283), where you told the flash what ISO and aperture you're using and it controls the light output based on a sensor on the flash, then no, it doesn't have that. (which is a little surprising actually)

Nissin amongst different formats
If you use a Sony Air controller does it matter which particular Di700A flash unit is used. Let me explain. I have both Nikon and Sony--- if i were to purchase two flash units--- I could order two kits-- one with the Sony and one with the Nikon controller--- that way if i want to use a single on camera flash-- I have one both for Sony and one for the Nikon? And then i could use dual flashes in wireless mode.

My suspicion is that it does make a difference if you want to use TTL.
Sony and Nikon each have their own proprietary protocols for controlling flash in TTL mode. I doubt that the flash or controller will be smart enough to know how to use them together.
In Manual, presuming the Sony Commander will talk to a Nikon Di700a it should work fine.

Re: A7rII and Nissin Di700a wireless flash
I grabbed one. Afraid it may not be available next week. So this gives me two to work with. Now just need to figure out how to separate them via the air commander so I can control power. Manual sucks

Oh I'm dead serious. My dog ate the air commander manual. I kid you not.

It's going to be real soon. Golden 11 month puppy Mike and she has literally destroyed our home . My baseboards and some door frames she has chewed up and about 5 places scratched the walls really bad. This is caused a major discussion in the house. It's my 18 year old sons. This continue I'll throw them both out on there ***. Lol

Nissin usually has online manuals that you can download and store on your PDF Reader or Phone. I usually do this personally.
Re: A7rII and Nissin Di700a wireless flash
Once you link them to the commander and designate them as A, B or C the power, and configuration control are done on the commander.
My recollection, without digging one out of the bag, is that, when selecting the wireless icon on the speedlite you are then given the option to designate the group.
That done. You are finished with the speedlite. Selecting TTL or M mode if done with the commander. That is also where power and zoom are set.
After doing it a couple of times its quite easy.
