Can you choose to turn the flash off?

There is no flash. You might see a red light but that just means that the picture has been taken; the camera doesn't have a flash to light the scene.

Yes. Just click the "Lightening" Symbol to turn it off. Unlike my older Canon PowerShot, the flash setting stays on Auto or off until I change it. The older PowerShot would reset back to Auto every time I powered the camera on and off.

During the day the light does not come on. A night it would not be able to capture images without the light. I hope that helps out with your question,but no there is not a way to deactivate the light.

you can make it flash or or be constant , you just have to click over and over again until you have what you want ... one click turn on , another will turn it off , clicking again will turn it on on another mode ...

You can use either one , the is going to only flash when you need flash. The flash will be in auto anyway.

That depends on several things. You can purchase a remote, or a cable to use the flash off the camera, or if you're feeling especially creative and the lighting conditions are right for a long exposure, you can manually actuate the flash off camera. In short yes, but it may depend on the way you intend to use it

Yes. On the turn dial on the backside of the camera, you will see a flash picture. If you press the dial in that direction, you are prompted with an interface on the screen to let you force the flash off. I've done it a few times. Works great.

Yes you can turn it off. You have to do it in the settings. I think you can do it for 1, 2 or 5 minutes.

you have to deactivate the red eye setting, that way the burst of flashes gone!

Get off of Auto. Shoot in Program mode, and you can use fill flash. Set flash to "always on" in Program. That is "fill flash." Turn it off when you don't need it.

Yes. You go to Menu>Camera settings>2>Flash mode. Select "fill flash" from the menu and the flash will go off, regardless of the light levels. Naturally, the flash needs to be opened/up for this to work.

In program mode if you turn the flash off it stays off! In auto normal mode if it is dark & you go to take a picture & the flash doesn't pop up, there is a malfunction!

I haven't used it in a while so I don't really remember but I think as long as it is open it will not interfere with the flash.

Yes, there is an off/on switch - by pressing once, it flashes, press again and the flash is faster, press once again and the light does not blink but is steady; press once again and it switches off. Hope this helps you.

I read of others having this problem and there is a flash button. However, it only seems to give the option of using the flash in lighting that may not read on auto flash.

Yes, you can turn it on/off in the menu.I'd also recommend looking at the TCL SVC-200 which has a similar camera format but runs for 2 hours instead of the 80 mins of the SJ3000. Review here http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2013/11/10/svc200-is-the-best-100-action-camera-ive-found-so-far.html

I have the same problem with the flash. It cannot be disabled in the Auto mode with the current firmware. The only option is to use a mode other than auto. I guess when they say auto they really mean auto. Hopefully Nikon reads these posts and will allow the flash to be disabled when the phone is turned off and on in a firmware update. As on Nov. 27, 2014 there is no firmware update yet.
