Our Nikon has a built-in flash. I did do my research at the manufacturers website and found all the information I needed to make an informed decision before buying and am very pleased with the product.

Probably, yes... BUT don't do it. There's no way to work a flash.. not even with fiber optics because they never accommodated for the pop up flash on these cameras... no room in the housing. Means you need to manually work a slave strobe.. no fun :(

this camera does not have flash, but I do not know if you can buy one to attach it. Has a beautifull hd definition in video

I think that J1 cameras does not have any external mic input, so no microphone will work with it. Anyway, I tested the mic and hasn't a good performance. My advice is that if you have the time and patience to edit and sync the audio and video, you should buy a good quality audio recorder and rec your audios separately.

This camera has a hot shoe which will accept any type of flash. I tried it with a really old Vivitar flash, and it worked. You must however remember a few things: 1. The flash will not work in "silent" mode (it is in the booklet) 2. Usually, the external flash must be enabled from camera menu 3. The hotshoe has more than the standard connecting contact; the other contact points make use of extra electronics in the Fuji flash, possibly to control flash intensity (for fill-up), and maybe for extra flashes used for red eye reduction (as the built-in does)

Wish I could answer but I only use it on the camera and don't have another flash.

Hi Seb, the flash comes as a supplied accessory in the box with the camera. Thanks_Mitch

I believe you don't. This flash is E-TTL and compact camera doesn't use it (it requires a SLR camera). I use it in a G9 and G12 in full manual mode.

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.

Like I said earlier this is a lamp not a flash. Just make shire that the camera that you use either 1) has the same multi interface shoe to mont the lamp on. Or 2) you have an adapter to go from what ever shoe you camera has to the MI shoe the lamp has. Or 3) you have a tripod the you can screw on to the bottom of the lamp

No. It has a built in flash and a hot shoe for external one. This is the exact reason I bought this one instead of the Sony nex 5.

I have the same problem with the flash. It cannot be disabled in the Auto mode with the current firmware. The only option is to use a mode other than auto. I guess when they say auto they really mean auto. Hopefully Nikon reads these posts and will allow the flash to be disabled when the phone is turned off and on in a firmware update. As on Nov. 27, 2014 there is no firmware update yet.

There is a pop up flash built into the camera that opens when it senses the need. There may be a way to purchase a seperate external flash to plug in as well- but I'm not certain. I would look at nikons website. It's an awesome camera. I wish I had gotten the all in one lens10-100mm

It's made for an external flash only. I'm sure you could probably rig it to your camera.
