I think it's related to the shoot mode your are using. When using the "intelligent automatic" mode, most of the other options (flash options for example) are greyed out. Try using different modes such as A (Aperture priority) or S (Shutter priority) or even M (Manual exposure) and more options should become available.

Multi Flashes:

Probably it's related to the "red eye reduction" setting.

Check: [Menu] -> [Setup] -> [Red Eye Reduction] -> [On / Off]
