How to Use Flash Off Mode?

First, you need to select the Flash-Off Mode at the camera Mode Dial. You might found your Dial looks different, but I'm sure you can find the lightning box icon ( In red circle) at the Dial :)


So, what does Flash-Off Mode do? Let's begin. These are the setting for my camera, but it will be about the same as yours as well. Do not worry ^^

Aperture = Auto
Shutter Speed = Auto
Exposure = Not Available
ISO Speed = Auto
Picture Style = Standard
White Balance = Auto
AF Mode = AI Focus
AF Point Selection = Auto
Drive Mode = One Shot
Metering Mode = Evaluative
Built-in Flash = OFF

Flash-Off Mode is actually Auto Mode without Flash. When do we need to use it? Well, places like aquarium, art museum, or maybe you want to capture the mood and a natural colour under ambient lights,  Flash-Off Mode can help you. 

There is a weakness for SLR camera in Auto Mode. When the environment is too dark, the Built-in flash will automatically pop up and flash rapidly to search the focus. If you close it back, it will pop up again because the Sensor can't get Exposure in a dark environment. It is quite annoying because the flash keeps firing when you don't need it. :)




While in Flash-Off Mode, the background will be brighter instead of the front of the car.



Therefore, Flash-Off Mode is to turn the flash off ONLY, you can still leave it to the camera to decide the best settings for your pictures. Nothing Special, isn't it?

Auto Mode is a convenient mode for most user. According to difference environment, Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO speeds and White Balance are all decided by the camera. Also, it is suitable for a shooting a moving object because of the autofocus. Built-in flash will pop up it the environment insufficient in light.
