If you don't want that, you can use P Mode where both the camera and flash go for the foreground (short exposure), and the background is then dark, assuming it's dark where you are, of course.

But that's what I want to do in the first place; maybe my logic is flawed, but when shooting in AV mode with flash, you'd think that the camera assumes the forground to be crucial. Or maybe just with large aperture; ideally the camera should calculate the exposure with the DOF in mind (or CPU, in this case). But that's asking a lot. Now though, it always assumes the flash to be fill-in.
Of course the easiest is to go back to M mode, I've been doing just that and it works fine, but then I run into that other problem with Cfn 13...
I guess I'll just have to live with it :-)
