I feel foolish for asking this question as so many of you are pro's but I'm struggling to figure out the flash on my new A7R camera. It's an inexpensive Canon flash and the camera doesn't seem to sense that it's on or compensate for it at all. When set on auto, the photo is whitewashed. When I use manual I need to take about 10 practice shots in order to get the right speed and aperture settings and also adjust the ISO if needed. It doesn't seem practical for me to do this much, maybe it will get better with more practice.
Is the flash wrong for the camera? Am I missing a setting? I've read the manual with no success and also checked this forum. I'm sure a complete Noob problem but any advise would be appreciated.
