It will fire on your sony, but only in manual mode.... So you'd need a meter, or multiple exposures and histogram peeping to get a correct(ish) exposure.

It wont do any of it's magical auto stuff with your sony.

Doubt it, but if it does, good luck with the warranty.

LOL, if something has to get broken i hope it's the flash and not the camera. since the cameras warranty has already finished...

It's more complicated to make that flash work correctly than the camera LoL! So full of stuff.
