Turning the Internal Flash On and Off (M-REC Mode Only)

When you are using an external flash and do not want the internal one to fire, you can turn the latter off. Note that turning off the internal flash and folding it down are two different things. Turning off the internal flash means that the internal flash will not fire even though it is raised until it is turned on again. On the other hand, folding down the internal flash only means that we do not want to use it. As long as it is raised, the internal flash is ready to use.

An Important Note

After the internal flash is turned off, it will not fire even though it is raised and the scene is not illuminated sufficiently. In fact, once the internal flash is turned off, you are supposed to use an external flash. Check the external flash pages for the details.
