[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 151034, member: 12496"] Wow! I am sorry for my confusion JJM, I had assumed you were intentionally trying to use the flash in that situation. I did not realize you were not. What you describe in bright sun is nothing I have ever seen. You are speaking of the Flash-Ready indicator, right? The lightning-bolt symbol at the extreme right end of the viewfinder display? Normally, it indicates the TTL flash did not have sufficient power to fullfill the conditions of the last immediate flash shot. I assumed you meant that, but I realize now you did not. D7000 manual page 219 describes menu D12, which can be set On to flash if it thinks flash is necessary. It does not mention P mode being any different than A mode (and normally Nikon is very careful to specify differences). One really would never expect that in bright sun, unless maybe there were large areas of dark shade. So, to better understand, what are the exposure conditions when this happens? Look back at the Exif data in your previous images when this happens in P mode and also not in A mode in same situation. What is the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO and camera mode - when this does and does not happen in identical bright sun situations? Since it is so unimaginable, it would be great if you could also post a picture when P mode did this blinking in bright sun (hopefully with Exif data still present). [/QUOTE]
