The built-in flash automatically fires even without being previously set. (EOS REBEL T6/EOS 1300D)

Content Id: 8202839200


Solution

In ⋖ ⋗(Scene Intelligent Auto), ⋖ ⋗(Portrait), ⋖ ⋗(Close-up), or ⋖ ⋗ (Night Portrait) mode, the camera automatically judges the shooting environment to determine whether the built-in flash fires or not. Therefore, the built-in flash may automatically fire in low-light environments even if you do not want to use it.

To prevent the built-in flash from firing automatically, change the shooting mode.
