The flash is fairly quick, but overheats if you shoot too quickly(10 shots in secession at full power)Full manual, no auto.Although it does have a slave mode.

It usually takes less then 3 seconds to reload if the battery is full of energy. Yes this flash is automatic, but this flash can only work in eyepiece mode with my Canon 5D Mark 3 camera. The use of it is actually so limited. I strongly do not recommend it.

I haven't used it for a while, but I seem to recall that you can set it to upload after each shot automatically or only when you decide. I think I determined that you should NOT have it upload after each shot. I do know for a fact that I have been able to shoot a lot of photos and then transfer the lot later. Also, check that your mobile device is not set to sleep. That would certainly kill the connection. Sorry, I can't be more helpful at the moment.

You aren't supposed to have flash turned on in camera, leave it off, test the light by pressing it manually. Typically doesn't work on full auto.

No the flash does not automatically pop up when needed. An icon telling you to use the flash does appear in the view finder/screen but have to manually release the flash with a button to the left of the flash. Some people will take pictures even though the camera tells them to use the flash which sometimes works okay and sometime not. I hope this helps.

My flash comes on automatically when I slide the button to pop it on, u can go to the menu & play with it but I've never had a prob before. If nothing else Kodak has great customer service

Yes it will trigger the flash but no communication will be passed through the Hot shoe for TTL exposure settings. Just fire a test shot and make exposure adjustments on the fly. Isn't that what makes Digital Great? P.S. Make sure your in single shot mode unless your shooting at 1/3rd power or less the flash won't trigger for the second,3rd,4th,5th,6th,11th shot. 1-2sec or worse recycle time on that flash.

I am not really sure! I had set my settings on automatic and the flash only worked when it was needed. I am sure there must be a way to keep it on, but I really don't have the answer for you. You may be able to download the manuel for it from the sony website. Worth a try.

I set the flash on manual mode. Is that what you are asking, if not please clarify question.

The pictures always are taken, sometimes it takes a few seconds to focus it. I have not used the timer function yet but the flash always works when its needed, and if it doesnt go off when you want it to you can force it on by changing the mode to backlighting and it will always go off.

The camera, left on automatic will satisfy you just fine. When the picture needs a flash, it automatically pops up.I do not consider myself an expert and I love my new camera. Have fun

your flash might be set for automatic. look on back to where you see a lightning bolt, press it and see how it is set. if all else fails read the manual. ( this would be my first thing to do sit down with a cup of coffee in the am and just read. and register your camera on line.

It is the 2. Great flash, but rapid firing leads to over heating and the flash not firing. Really not as bad as it sounds, and worth not being 500 dollars. It is in my opinion it is a very small compromise to make. And by rapid I mean 7-8 consecutive shots at 3/4 power. Hope that helps.

No, it's strictly a manual-control flash. A great powerful unit, but you have to think "old school" when using it.

I sent the flash back because I was extremely dissapointed how long it took to refire again. The company I bought it from gave me a hard time and wanted to charge me a restocking fee. I fought with Amazon and the company and they returned my money. I have learned that if you really want a good flash to work with a Nikon, buy a Nikon flash which I did. I hope you found this helpful.
