The GX-1 I had has a built in flash that can be gently pushed back and locked into bounce position, turning ugly caught-in-the-headlights-deer look into beautifully exposed and naturally lit photos. I used it many times.
The NEX cameras with built in flash behave the same I think, unless the flash can't be locked back, you have to keep it pushed back with your index, and trip the shutter with any other finger that you fancy. Not the most convenient thing, not to mention the fact the bounce degree can get rather random at some point.
I cut a tiny piece of cardboard to keep the flash pushed all the way back without hurting the assembly. It works absolutely beautifully. If would dare say, if you don't need the portrait orientation, and shoot close up, it works exactly as well as my SB-600, at about ten times smaller and less unwieldy.
Try it
Sorry for the horrible iPhone picture where u can barely see the cardboard piece, but at least you get to see the Auto Revuenon mounted
