QuestionFLASHI own the DSC-HX 200. It has it's own flash, but it only operates when capturing images, but not viedeo recording. Am I correct?. I see that the HX-400 has a hot-shoe for optional flash. Is this camera equipped with an optional built-in flash as the HX-200? Also what is the recommended optionl flash model for the HX-400? I already have the NP-BX1 Rechargeable lithium battery pack information. But, what is the recommended model charger for the HX-400?
Asked 10 years ago by Jose.
- Answer Hi Jose, yes, the camera also has a built in flash. And you can also use external flash units which are compatible to the Multi Interface shoe such as the HVLF60M, As for the optional battery charger, you can use the BCTRX travel charger. Thanks_Mitch

QuestionWhat is the shutter lag on this model?Older Sony models had significant shutter lag; how is this model and particularly in flash mode?
Asked 11 years ago by Ed F.
- Answer Shutter lag is very minimal in cameras made in the last few years. Lag when using flash is attributed to AF lock in a dark envirmonment. The camera will need to set an AF assist light, get focus and then take the image.

QuestionHi I need a camera for my photography 101 and I wanted to make sure if this one had all the requirements needed.
Asked 4 years ago by AnonymousCS.
- Answer I spent 35 years in photography and I would say if this camera won’t do it no camera out there can handle PHOTOGRAPHY 101. It has the manual mode which will allow you to chose your f-stops and shutter speeds. When I started there were no auto features so you had to experiment and learn what these two features did to acquire a good photo. Enjoy your class and create excellent photos. Good Luck!

QuestionIs there a difference in the Sony DSC-HX400 and the DSC-HX400v ?
Asked 6 years ago by novice.
- Answer I recently purchased the HX400v to replace my HX400 which was pretty old. There aren't many differences between the 2 cameras. The HX400v as GPS. It also has a slot to attach an extra flash. It does have a built in flash. The HX400v is just an updated version of the HX400.
