I am just starting, learning, playing around with settings, etc. I just got a d5100 and so far just have the kit lense. The light that comes on when the shutter button is pressed is VERY bright. I cannot take a single photo of my daughter with her eyes open because of this. She sees the light and squints. Is there a way to turn it off but still have a flash used? I've flipped through the dial of pre-set settings but they all have that insanely bright light if I want to use a flash. The user manual was of no use. Please help!</blockquote>
