Auto flash pop-up on D610? Still trying to learn the camera... I swear the flash used to pop up in low light conditions when the camera was set to "S" and "A". No more... I have to...

Still trying to learn the camera...

I swear the flash used to pop up in low light conditions when the camera was set to "S" and "A". No more... I have to press the flash button on the left side to pop the flash up.

Did I screw up a setting? If so, would someone please tell me how to fix it?

If it was a dream, can someone make it come true? :shock:

Thanks!

You want to use it an an expensive point & shoot?
I always have to manually open it when I use the pop-up for commander mode when controlling other flashes.

It will never pop up automatically in any mode besides AUTO. It will TTL Fill Flash in any mode but you have to manually open it for that to work.

Thanks! Still learning...

Get a field manual for your D610. It explains a lot more than the manual in plain English. Find it at Amazon. Great investment because you have an amazing camera that'll give you "results" when properly used.

When I got my first DSLR, I found that infuriating. Then I learned about the position on the dial that turns off the flash. Then I went to A, S, and M shooting.

Shooting in Auto is okay because you don't have to think about settings, so you can get a quick shot. Joel Sartori, Nat Geo photographer and instructor, leaves his cameras in Auto when he's at home because he can pick one up quickly and get a good shot.

Thank you! That's exactly what I want it to do.

My favorite subjects - our dog and other family members - only hold an impromptu position for just so long. The faster I can get the camera into action, the better.

Good call Don, I use my D600 Busch's Field Guide all the time.
It helps relieve me of my ailment, 'I think I know' :thumbup:

Me too, Craig. I have the one by J. Dennis Thomas. Good book. I have it highlighted, underlined and notes in the margins. It is a great quick-reference tool.
