Hi,

I am currently using a Sony H1 camera and so far all is well.

I am wondering if there is a way touse an external flash to improve on the shot to shot time with the flash being used?.Any help will be appreciated.

The H1 does not have a hot shoe, so you're options are limited to slave flashes. Slave flashes are optical...that is they fire when they detect your camera's flash fire. Unfortunately, that means even if the slaves recycle time is faster than your camera's, it is limited by the camera flashes recycle time. You could try reducing the flash power and making sure you have fresh fully charged batteries to insure quicker recycle times.
