That's because there is no menu item for this.Is there a means of setting the 'default' to NO FLASH when you turn the camera on and are in Auto mode? I am struggling to find the Menu item.

The solution is this: While in full Auto mode, press and hold the Flash Control button on the side of the camera body while simultaneously turning the Command Wheel until the "No Flash" option presents itself. You have now disabled the onboard flash, even while in full Auto.

The exact location of the Flash Control button will vary depending on which camera body you have:

No, unfortunately the setting does not persist through a restart but it will disable the onboard-flash in full Auto until then, and I'm thinking that's as close as the OP is going to get.My d7000 series cameras do not remember this setting in auto. Other shooting modes remember the flash setting, but if I power cycle in Auto, the camera turns back on with the flash re-enabled.
I'm smacking myself on the back of my head, lol. Its on my d7200 as well, sitting right in front of me.I think everybody quit using auto so long ago, they forgot the 'auto without flash' was on the dial.

The D7000 has an icon on the mode dial on top of the camera that is between 'auto' and 'scene', which is the 'auto/no flash' option. That would be the default. Full auto but never fires the flash, correct?

That's news to me. I never used Auto or Program since I was a previous 35mm manual camera shooter. Already had enough to learn without throwing in confusing things such as Auto and Program. :beguiled: I can't wrap my head around having the camera choose the settings since I learned on a manual body. It was like having a wrench thrown into the fray.
I'm really lousy with a cell phone camera, too...seriously! Some lady handed me her Samsung phone since she couldn't get her camera to work properly. I said, How does it work? :loyal: And yes, that is true!
