[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 324014, member: 12496"] The Nikon manuals become pretty clear, AFTER you figure out how it works. :) There are several icons for flash modes, with no meaning to me. Using the Built-in Flash: (Auto and Scene Modes) 1 Choose a flash mode. 2 Take pictures. The flash will pop up as required when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, and fire when a photograph is taken. If the flash does not pop up automatically, DO NOT attempt to raise it by hand. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the flash. ❚❚ Using the Built-in Flash: P, S, A, M, and 0 Modes 1 Raise the flash. Press the button to raise the flash. 2 Choose a flash mode (P, S, A, and M modes only) 3 Take pictures. The flash will fire whenever a picture is taken. That is very clear, if we just realized what they were trying to tell us. [/QUOTE]
