I thought I'd check the trigger voltage before I put it on either of my cameras (a Program A and a MZ-6/ZX-L) When I checked it was 270v! I was amazed! On my other flash it's only about 4v. There's no way I'm putting it on my MZ-6, but my question is - would the Program A handle the hight voltage? I note that the manual states that flash units from other manufacturers "may damage the electronic systems of your camera" ... At 270v I wouldn't be surprised.
