[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 176807, member: 12496"] Oops, I think you are right when I reread it that way. Thanks, and sorry. Internal flash popping up anyway is due to camera being in Auto Mode, thinking flash is necessary, but somehow, it is not recognizing the hot shoe flash is present. It is a communication problem at the hot shoe. Make sure flash is fully and deeply seated in the shoe. I've never seen it, but people say the shoe contacts get dirty, preventing contact, so clean them. The flash should seat, and when turned on, the flash should see the camera (following and showing correct zoom, and showing aperture info on LCD, etc), and the camera should see the flash, one way is Auto does not pop up the flash, and also indoors in dim light, the shutter speed will advance to at least 1/60 second.
