I want to set an A-300 DSLR to accept and activate an HVL-f42AM flashgun. Neither manual helps -- any advice?
Does that mean that the build in flash pops up instead?
Hi bimccan, welcome to the Sony Forums
The flash is fully compatible with the a300, so I'd guess you either have the flash settings wrong or the conact terminals are needing a clean.
Wipe the terminals on both the camera and the flash unit, and have a play with the TTL settings on the flash, see if that helps.

Sorry, cross-posting with cmosse there
All good sugestions..
It just occurred to me you should try to reset the flash unit before you do anything else.
