Yikes! Belinkoff is asking a question about flash?!? What's the world coming to?
Well, actually I'm asking a question about not using flash. Can flash use be turned off absolutely with the istDS? My concern is that there may be some circumstances where the camera will decide flash is appropriate and that the flash will go off automatically, or, barring that, the camera won't fire at all. IOW, if I'm using the camera in one mode or another, and decide to not use flash, will the camera will allow me to underexpose to whatever degree i want without annoying me with the flash popping up or sending me a distracting message or, worst of all, refusing to fire because the chosen exposure is outside some parameter or other. The main reason I ask is that I saw someone using another brand of DSLR and the camera refused to fire at all because of some parameter being wrong (and I think it was because the camera decided the exposure needed flash). I want to always be able to make an exposure regardless of how wrong it may be, and to make that exposure without any interference from the camera. Shel
