Does the PowerShot A1200 have a "Fill Flash" or "Forced Flash" mode?

This is a simpler point & shoot canon, the flash options are; on, off, auto & slow sync.

The flash is located on top of the camera, to the left as the screen faces you. When you set the flash to auto, does the flash pop up? What mode are you using? iauto?

Yes it does. But I notice on my D300 that it may inter-fear with by camera electronics. Then shooting a wedding there were a few times my camera locked up and I had to shut it down then restart it to go back to normal. I recommend that you spend a little more and get Pocket Wizard. Plus there is no button to test fire the studio flash.

You can set it to burst mode 10 frames per second. Good to have a class 10 SDHC card to, will speed up time between shots (image capture to memory).

Thank you, thank you! This is rhe problem with the Canon A590IS I'm having. I guess I will keep my Canon S2 Powershot then!

I do not think so. The only manual controls I have found are Exposure EV and ISO in P mode. In P mode the camera gives you the suggested F stop and shutter speed. For what it is this is a great snap shooter and does great indoors no flash using the auto modes.

No, it's a manual flash. you have to set the output of flash manually. It should trigger the flash when you press the shutter release, but it will only fire the settings that you manually set on the flash. Hope this helps!

Yes, but only in manual mode. However don't buy this. It's a huge piece of junk, firing the flash 1 in 5 shots if you are lucky, more like 1 in 10 on average. Save your money and buy a better quality set up.

It has a built in flash, but you do have to manually open the flash when you want to use it.

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.

I haven't had that issue. You can adjust the flash mode and that should solve the issue.

No, but the flash is easy to use and easy to change settings. It does have a cheap feel, but works great. I have a canon flash, but this is my go to.

You can't adjust flash power, Paul. The camera is amazing though. I have enjoyed using it as both a companion to my DSLR and in place of the DSLR when I don't want to lug around a lot of equipment.

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

No. There is a small button next to the flash. Push this button when you want to use the flash.

No, but the popup flash does a great job. sometimes when shooting objects I add a spot light from the side.

Yeah the biggest complaint for the SX200IS was the automatic flash every time. I'm gonna wait to see if that has been fixed in the SX210IS before I go ahead an order. Looks like a great improvement in every other area!I'm glad I held out on getting my super-zoom point and shoot! Within the last few weeks Nikon, Fujifilm, Canon, and Panasonic all announced their Spring 2010 models. There are some real good options out there!
