1 MENU t [Camera] t [Flash Mode] t desired mode.
2 When you want to fire the flash, press the (flash pop-up) button to pop
up the flash.
• The default setting depends on the shooting mode.
• Available flash mode depends on the shooting mode.
• You cannot use the flash when recording movies.
• If you use the flash with a stereo microphone or similar device attached to the Auto-lock Accessory Shoe,
the flash may not pop up to the correct position and recorded images may have a shadow on their corners.
Remove any device from the Auto-lock Accessory Shoe.
• The light of the flash may be blocked by the lens attached. If this happens, it is recommended that you
attach an external flash (sold separately).
• When using external flashes (sold separately), pay attention to the following.
– HVL-F43AM: When shooting with a bounce flash, it may be difficult to operate the camera buttons,
depending on the flash position.
– HVL-F20AM: When the flash is turned off and not raised, the flash may touch certain E-mount lenses,
making it difficult to operate the lens.
In a dark location, using the flash allows you to shoot
the subject brightly, and it also helps to prevent camera
shake. When shooting into the sun, you can use the
flash to shoot a bright image of the backlit subject.
(flash pop-up) button
(Flash Off) Does not fire even if the flash is raised.
(Autoflash) Fires if it is dark or against light.
(Fill-flash) Fires every time you trigger the shutter.
(Slow Sync.) Fires every time you trigger the shutter. Slow sync shooting allows
you to shoot a clear image of both the subject and the background by
slowing the shutter speed.
(Rear Sync.) Fires right before the exposure is completed every time you trigger the
shutter. Rear sync shooting allows you to shoot a natural image of the
trail of a moving subject such as a moving car or a walking person.
(Wireless) Allows you to shoot with a wireless flash (sold separately) that is
placed off the camera and away from it, attaching an external lighting
ratio control flash (sold separately) to the camera.
