My flash activates in auto mode even when I’m outdoors on a sunny day with my lens aperture fully open. I know there are various methods in turning it off, but I can’t figure out why it is even activating when there should be sufficient ambient light to not require a flash. Is this normal with the 7200 or is there a menu item I’m missing. I can turn the flash off using the flash button and back dial but as soon as I turn the camera off and back on, the flash goes back to auto mode and activates on bright, sunny days. I’m confused!
Please don’t respond by saying to use a different mode. I normally shoot in manual, but was trying something recently in auto and noticed this. I also know that turning the dial one notch to CCW is basically auto mode without the flash, but I’m curious why auto mode would call for a flash if the light sensor is indicating sufficient ambient light.
