I really think you'd have to read the specific instruction book for that
camera to know what they do in this case. *Under almost all circumstances,
the camera SHOULD change the exposure quite a bit, although the
flash duration to some extent becomes the shutter speed. *In all
the auto modes, it should adjust to the flash being enabled.
In the manual mode, a professional photographer would pre-set
the aperture and shutter for desired result with the flash. *But,
most consumer-grade cameras assume the user is an idiot, and
automate anything they can, in some cases making things hard
if you know what you are doing.

The manual probably sucks. Much better to watch a video done by
someone who is a professional photographer and who most likely owns
the model of camera the video is done on. It's chump change to
subscribe to Lynda.com. Tons and tons of photography related videos.
Very high quality instruction. I'm not easy to please and I love their
photography stuff.
