Welcome Ken.

[ ] (Automatic firing) is set to fire automatically in the default settings for the following shooting modes, and based on shooting conditions determined by the camera: < > < > < : > < [ : >. Therefore, if the shooting location is too dark, the built-in flash might fire unexpectedly.

To turn off auto flash for the built-in flash, either set the shooting mode to < > (Flash Off), or press the < > button to change the flash setting to [Flash off].

IMPORTANT
[Flash off] cannot be set in [ ] mode.

1. Set the camera's power switch to <ON>.

2. Set the shooting mode to < >, < >, < : >, or < [ : >.

3. Press the < > button to display the Quick Control screen. (The setting screen for [ ] mode is shown here.)
　

4. Turn the < > or < > dial to select [ ] (Auto built-in flash) or [ ] (Flash on).

5. Turn the < > dial and select [ ] (Built-in flash off).

Refer to the following table for more information about which built-in flash settings are available for each shooting mode.

: Default setting : User selectable - : Not selectable
Function SCN

Built-in flash firing : Automatic firing - - - - - - - -
: Flash on (Fires at all times) - - - - - - -
: Flash off -
* If you change the shooting mode or set the power switch to , all the functions will revert to the default settings.

REFERENCE
In the < : > and < : > modes, when you press the shutter button halfway under low-light conditions, the built-in flash may be raised automatically and emit the AF-assist beam. This illuminates the subject to help autofocusing.

i got this by google how to turn Canon EOS80D flash off. Canon site shows pictures.

Thanks and I have received a lot of help from one of the "members", other than "read your manuel". Which I had already competed. Regardless thanks to those who did "actually" help.
