Just push the little button on the left side at the base of the lens mount to pop up the flash. When it's up, it's active.

Yes the one above bracketing - Yes I have seen that and also seen the various option that comes like slow / rear etc

However no option for Fill Flash and even in other setting with the flash up - it does not fire automatically - making me wonder wether it has any other setting mode. I was using it in Aperture mode ( and no the flash is not faulty )

If you pop the flash up in aperture mode it should go off. If it does not then something sounds wrong.
