does the flash come on automatically or do you have to do this manually?

Manually...... I like that some cameras the flash just go's off and screws up the picture with to much light

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!

You have to pop it open for the flash to work. Actually have not used the flash much.

Yes it does have automatic flash. It is a flexible flash, so you can manually turn it upwrad, when you don't want direct flash on your subject's faces, pretty cool.

There is a small button just below where the flash is housed that you press to pop it out and activate flash, I assume once its up it will continue to use flash as needed until you press it back down. Personally I like this feature since I prefer natural light photography.

No you have to manually lift it up. I will not flash unless it in the up position.

Yes. Just click the "Lightening" Symbol to turn it off. Unlike my older Canon PowerShot, the flash setting stays on Auto or off until I change it. The older PowerShot would reset back to Auto every time I powered the camera on and off.

In Auto setting the flash will pop up when the subject is dark. Also, at the top of the OK button is the FLASH selector that will let you choose the type of flash you need.

You have to push a button to pop up the flash, but then you can have it on auto setting in case some of the pictures don't need the flash.

Yes manual and auto, but for bounce flash it doesn't zoom out to 24mm again.

Yes you have to raise the flash manually, but there is banner on the viewing screen that tells you to raise the flash hence not too difficult to remember. Also with the fast F2 lens haven't found much need to use the flash!

Yes it does. The flash setup can be found in the camera menu. The camera has an auto mode which automatically pops the flash when required.

You aren't supposed to have flash turned on in camera, leave it off, test the light by pressing it manually. Typically doesn't work on full auto.

This flash is very simple, but it does not have ETTL (full auto) functionality. In other words, the flash power is set by the user manually, not automatically.

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.

Better that you have to pop it up manually. That way you control the flash - it does not control you. How hard is it to push the little flash button.If that level of complexity is too difficult for you, this camera is not for you.

Yes. It's a pop up flash and if the camera knows it's it's needed it will pop up automatically

The camera has an automatic setting that sets the correct aperture and shutter speed for the lighting, and if there's not enough light it will have a symbol telling you to turn on the flash.

The flash only works if there is not enough light - automatic. However, there is a menu in the camera, and I see Lamp Setting which is on when you get the camera, but you can turn it off.
