[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 740668, member: 12496"] If the NO FLASH mode was on, then it would not fire the other times either. Manual camera mode is very handy good practice with "studio" flash (at least in dimmer ambient light), because it overrides ambient metering to allow control of shutter speed, to either allow or restrict the amount of ambient contribution. A primary consideration indoors is that max sync shutter speed can keep out the orange incandescent light (flash exposure is not affected by shutter speed). In dim light, mode A will usually give only 1/60 second shutter (but advanced models with E2 menu can set it slower, but not faster). Or Slow Mode or Rear Curtain modes will allow actual metered slow shutter speeds. Otherwise in dimmer light where flash is needed, A, S, or P modes will get 1/60 second, which is not always the optimum choice. But M mode allows any desired shutter speed, up to Maximum Sync speed, and that's very handy for indoor flash. [LEFT][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
