how do you use the 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.

It comes with a small flash that has worked for me so far. It pops out (sometimes when you rather it wouldn't) on the left side of the camera.

There is a button right behind the flash. You have to push it for the flash to pop-up. This link will show you the flash button. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYOHltiToNk

This camera is very easy to use. Turn the flash on or off, zoom in or out and push the button. You can download the manual but most of the functions are apparent.

I love it, it works with a flash or without. But the picture does come out better if you try the flash, depending on how dark you are talking about.

Yes, all you have to do is press the lever by the lens and the Flash pops up--That enables the flash--Then select the forced flash and all your pictures will have a flash fill. If you never pop the flash up or out--the Flash option can't be selected. That kind of drove me a little crazy for a bit--- until I figured that you need to pop the flash first and then the Flash options will be available.

I read of others having this problem and there is a flash button. However, it only seems to give the option of using the flash in lighting that may not read on auto flash.

Yes. You go to Menu&gt;Camera settings&gt;2&gt;Flash mode. Select "fill flash" from the menu and the flash will go off, regardless of the light levels. Naturally, the flash needs to be opened/up for this to work.

You COULD, but you'll need to have or purchase a remote trigger for the flash. There is no built-in remote trigger option on the flash itself.

Connects very easy, You will have a sensor that fits on camera where the flash would go and a receiver that will plug into the flash. Turn both on and when you take a picture the flash will go off.

I rarely use flash and certainly do not use flash with this item. I don't imagine it would work very well with flash.

I don't use the flash much but I do think that you don't use the flash with "Auto" for best results but you can program it with one of the USER settings

Yes, it comes with a flash. It's a separate item that you have to attach to the camera. It's a very short range flash, similar to the ones that are built into some cameras.

The built-in flash can be used. It will create a dark area when you shoot close to the housing. The housing comes with a diffuser that will spread the light out and make a more even disbursement of light. When I use the internal flash I always try to ensure that my subject is in the top half of the frame.

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.

Hold the camera up as if to take a pic and there is a Circle with FUNC.SET inside it to the right of the screen. On the far right of that Circle is a lightning bolt like image. Click this and you will get a screen message to turn the flash on or off. The camera has to be on to do this.

You can use an rca plug from the flash to the pc plug on the camera. Or use the on camera flash to trip the sync on the flash head
