How does the flash work on this? Do you have to attach it every time you need it?

There is a built in flash that flips up with a button and in this package there is an extra slave flash. I love this camera it is awesome.

No ! You have to manually erect it and if its not dark, u have to turn the flash on from settings

No, it doesn't. I've had no trouble taking photos with or without 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 will work but it will not function as an 'auto' flash. everything must be done manually.

You have to open the flash dock manually ... its not automatic !!! But the flash works only if necessary.

I purchased the flash, but I have not used it yet. Sorry, I can't help. Jim K

Yes. Each connected flash behaves as if directly on the hot shoe. I have used four flashes concurrently this way and results are perfect. Ittl ore fires all of them and behaves as if a more powerful flash were used. I am a Nikon user.

No it works totally perfectly! The case definitely doesn't obstruct the flash. (Side note: seriously it's the best case ever. Mine has held up perfectly for about a year and a half now! No complaints at all!)

I just bought this item. The Velcro strip has a rubber/"sticky" back which you attach to the flash FIRST with the rubber side down - Velcro up - then you attach the softbox, which also has Velcro on the flaps, to the strip on the flash ... Absolutely no problem with it coming off.

It didn't bother me, and while you do have to screw it in, it's fully automatic. Still, if your wife wants to use both the EVF and flash, they can't be used together as there's only the one accessory port. If she doesn't use the EVF, she could probably leave the flash screwed on as long as she doesn't hit the top of the camera.

Yes it does! But tbh, I have had problems with my portable flash staying connected while I am using it.

The camera comes with an attachable flash which is mounted on top. It is small and ok but don't expect much.

You need the special bracket that comes with the kit to attach your flash to it.
