[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 322363, member: 12496"] In camera A, S, P, or M modes, if the internal flash door is open, it will fire. The ambient light does not matter, or rather, TTL flash mode will meter the flash to match it, but it will fire if open. So, you open the flash when you want it to fire. It will NOT pop open automatically. Maybe you want fill flash in bright sun, so just open the flash door, and use camera mode A, S, P, or M, and it will fire (I would suggest camera P mode in bright sun). If using a hot shoe flash, if you turn it on, it will fire. Don't turn it on if you don't want it to fire. In contrast, in camera Auto mode, or most of the Scene modes, the internal flash is instead automatic, and if deemed necessary by the light, then it will pop open and fire. But it is automation instead of choice. There are a few Scene modes where the internal flash won't fire, see the manual. [/QUOTE]
