Do you get a shadow when using the built in flash on the a6000?

I have an NEX 6 and yes I get a shadow. Removing the petal from the lens helps some. Holding the built in flash to bounce the light up helps too. But I bo a Metz hot shoe mount speed light and my flash photography is much better

Not necessarily.... I can admit that there was a time when I used to get a slight orange(ish) tinge when using the flash to take a shot in a dimly lit room. HOWEVER that could have been related to software (I WAS running JB 4.1.2 back then). Since I upgraded to JB 4.3 - I haven't noticed the same tinge (then again - I'm not much of a camera phone picture taker). I just took a few shots prior to answering your question and I didn't notice any anomalies with the case on the phone :-)

sorry I am not aware! but I love mine though cant use it with the built in flash since it would create a shadow.

Hi there, no it does not; but all the pictures that I have taken to this point (inside & outside) have been exceptional as far as lighting goes. I just always open the flash mechanism when I turn the camera on so if I need a flash it will flash. Hope this helps!

This is NOT a TTL flash, so no, it won't work as a TTL flash with your a6000.

Yes. It can also be reversed on the lens when not needed. When taking wide angle shots with the built-in flash, the attached lens hood will cast shadows so it might have to be removed or attached in the reverse position.

As far as I can tell, the case does not affect the flash. The opening surrounding the camera is slightly beveled away from the camera. It is also the softer case, so it's not very reflective.

I use this lens with a Canon Rebel T3i. Yes, if you use the flash with this lens it will create a shadow on your picture (at least with my camera).Maybe using a different flash, instead of the one built-in, would change the outcome by providing light from a relatively higher spot from the hood, but I'm an amateur photographer and haven't tried out with an additional flash equipment yet.

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

Yes, there is a built in flash system and you have an optional external flash. Even my photos taken in candlelight turned out excellent without any flash at all.

The only time I had this issue (washed out) was when I took a picture far away or used the flash in a clearly lit room. If you have sufficient sunlight in the room you are taking pics, do not use the flash. It doesn't have to be very bright in the room, just average light. Hope this helps.

I don't know of any flash issues, I have a white case though and it doesn't really seem to affect the flash? Then again, I don't take too many indoor/night photos so I may not have noticed. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help :(

Try using natural light as much as possible. Flash lighting will always give a less natural effect. If you must use the flash, try turning on most of the lights in the room to help fill in the shadows. Also, extreme close-ups will not focus properly and will produce a blurred effect. Make sure you're at least three feet from the subject and that the auto-focus has had time to function. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

Yes, but depending on the length of the lens you may get a shadow on your subject.

Same problem. Thought I just got a defective camera. I exchanged it for the same model, same problem. I found that if I zoom even a little bit, the shadow goes away. Annoying, goodbye Lumix.

you should have no trouble at all with this flash on the a6000 as it has the new multi hot shoe connector.

Thank you, thank you, thank you....It all makes sense now. Yes, the pictures taken in landscape orientation did not have the shadows. Now that I am aware of the problem I will make sure that the flash is always above the lens. I will also try an external tilt-swivel bouce flash. Thank you so much for your expertise, all the suggestions but most importantly thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I really appreciate it!
