Does the flash automatically pop up when needed. I noticed it did not flash during Christmas pictures while other cameras in the same room flashed.

There is a switch on the back of the camera towards the top, above the display screen, if you switch it the flash will pop up and then it should work since there is a sensor on it, and if it doesn't work right away I noticed that if you pull the switch again (while the flash is up) you can basically toggle the flash on and off while it's in the up position. The flash on this camera is not exposed, it is a pop up, so unless the flash was up to begin with and still wasn't working, you probably just had your flash in the off position. For a better explanation you can take a look in your Nikon Manual, go to the index, and search flash. There should be all you need to know right there. Hope I helped :)

You have to manually slide the flash up when you need the flash to operate.

Not that I know of. There may be a way to set it so it does, but I am not aware of it. To me it is not a major problem. You can judge pretty much when you need to use flash. Also, you can easily pop up the flash to provide fill light when taking a photo of someone with harsh lighting conditions.

No you have to manually lift it up. I will not flash unless it in the up position.

I had the same problem trying to use the camera in auto mode. It popped up, i think every time i turned the camera on in the auto mode, but it wouldn't fire, even in a completely dark room. Yes, the flash was set to auto. It seemed to work fine in other modes. Every camera i've run across fires the flash automatically when used in auto so i figured there was something wrong with the one i recieved.

Yes. Pressing a button will pop up the flash and enable it for pictures. To disable, physically close the flash. In any camera mode, including full auto mode, there are settings to have the flash always on, or auto.

Yes. You go to Menu&gt;Camera settings&gt;2&gt;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.

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!

I think it does. The flash is automatic but it has an extra feature that can make it even brighter. Even in dark places, I've been able to take good, clear pictures. Just practice.

ok so this particular camera gives you that option? I don't have this camera. I'm looking to buy it and that's one thing that would make or break the purchase. I didn't know that's why it double flashes, thanks.

Yes, all you have to do is press the lever by the lens and the Flash pops up--That enables the flash--Then select the forced flash and all your pictures will have a flash fill. If you never pop the flash up or out--the Flash option can't be selected. That kind of drove me a little crazy for a bit--- until I figured that you need to pop the flash first and then the Flash options will be available.

You aren't supposed to have flash turned on in camera, leave it off, test the light by pressing it manually. Typically doesn't work on full auto.

Yes it has its own flash. It is located on top of the cameras. This is not a removable flash. In addition, there are adjustments on the camera to take great indoor shots without using the flash.

Yes it does. You can also turn it off. Many times it takes as goog or better pictures without the flash...especially since it sometimes takes the flash a long time to recharge. I turn mine off a lot. It's good to have when the light is in back of your subject.

Yes, the D3200 does have a pop-up flash unit the appears from the top of the camera in front of the External flash hotshoe. It will pop-up automatically anytime a focus point determines that there is not enough light. You can defeat this feature by turning the flash off. You cannot, however, pop the flash up manuallly.

Yes it does. The flash setup can be found in the camera menu. The camera has an auto mode which automatically pops the flash when required.

The camera has a built in flash. It will not automatically pop up . You must release the latch to get it to pop up. From the back of the camera look up to the left by the hot shoe you will see the latch.look at Graham Houghtons manual on Youtube. There are loads of videos he has produced on using this camera!
