I don't see why you think this means it won't work with flash. I'd expect the camera to be quite capable of triggering the flash each time it 'opens' the electronic shutter. And, as I point out, any high speed sync capable flash is capable of being triggered multiple times during the 1/180 sec or so of a fast exposure.
