[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 161915, member: 10543"] Sometimes when I'm shooting outdoors using the Auto setting standing 30 to 40 Feet from a somewhat dark subject on a bright day, the pop up flash jumps to attention to help. It makes me jump too, as I never expect it and it hits the bill of my ball cap! I know how to defeat the flash (and I always do so after it startles me), but why does my D5100 do this? Does it think that it's going to provide a decent fill flash on a large object like a locomotive that's 40 Feet away? No rant; I'm just curious. As an experiment, I've let the flash fire and then defeated the flash on the same distant subject and the shot [I]without[/I] the flash always looks better. [/QUOTE]
