sony A5000 external flash / Speedlite

[Mandy46]

Hello

Just wondering whether anyone could tell me if I can get a speedlite to work automatically with the Sony ILCE-5000 I have recently bought.  Don't mind whether I have to get a remote to trigger the camera as well as the flash.  Disappointed to realise I had purchased the only camera in the range which doesn't seem to have a speedlite available!

Thanks in advance for any solutions suggested!

Hi Mandy46,

welcome to the Sony User Community Forum..

One option you could consider is to buy an external flash with a slave mode & a flash bracket to mount it on, then you could use the pop up flash of your a5000 to fire the external flash..
