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.

The pentax k-30 does have a pop up flash. A funny thing happened during my first use of my new camera. I was taking pictures at our grandaughters wedding and keep wondering why the flash wasn't working. It wasn't until we got to the reception when I realized I didn't flip up the flash. Still got some great pictures thanks for a supper camera.

There are "no flash" modes available. By default the P/AV/TV/M modes don't bring up the flash. In the scene modes there should be a "no flash" mode and I also believe auto-flash is disable is sport and landscape modes. When it comes to a "silent shutter" you can disable the annoying BEEP that many digital cameras have but you'll still hear the actual shutter go off. I know the Canon 60D has "silent shutter" modes that actually reduces the noise produced by the shutter but I don't believe it filters down to this level. I can't say I own this camera but I own the ones on either side of it (T3 and 60D) before the T4i came out.

Yes, the camera has a built-in automatic flash. It opens up when needed and you can also decide when you use it.

I had the same problem. I too am frustrated trying to learn this camera - in the past all I had was a very basic digital camera. My issue was having the burst feature on. If you hit menu, and next to picture burst if it does not day "off" the flast will not work.

Yes it has a built in flash. I am not sure what you mean about "pre-flash".Camera produces amazing photographs even in the hands of novice users.

This camera does have a built in flash --- it also has the hot shoe for a stronger flash.We have used the built in flash quite a few times and have never yet used the separate available flash.

This camera has a built-in flash that pops up if needed. I've never actually needed it, as you can adjust the ISO sensitivity for low-light situations. Flash tends to just wash-out most photos anyway. I've been happy with this camera for a lot of different photo situations and never needed the flash.

It depends on the settings used. I can take some really good pictures in low-light without flash.I've found that the built-in photo editor can help a little if needed as well.Its best to choose the mode that is best for your shot such as smart, program, scene...etc.; then, adjust the settings to get the desired effect.

I do not use an external flash on my camera -- only the built in flash. One reason for this is that the camera does so well catching the light (one of the main reasons that I bought the camera). I have on occasion increased the ISO settings to help the situation in low light. Another reason that I bought this camera was because I did not want to tote extra lenses and accessories. Carrying around an external flash would run counter to this. I rarely miss have an external flash.

Yes and yes. Sorry, I caused some confusion about the flash, I was so excited when my new camera arrived, I didn't yet understand the flash is built in. I still LOVE this camera, it easily does everything I want, all in one light weight compact unit. No card or tripod

If you just want to trigger an off-camera flash, you need to have a hot shoe on the Canon. Then you'll need pocket wizards (PW) for the camera and the flash. Without a hot shoe on the camera, the PW won't work.

It does, it's a pop-up flash on the top left. It can only be activated manually, a great feature so you don't have to worry about messing with flash options in the camera menu.
