One thing I haven't worked out yet on the new 80D is how to stop the flash from firing on a couple of the settings. Its very annoying but in this case it actually worked out quite well by illuminating the snow in the foreground.
If I can't work it out soon. I'll have to read the manual. Heaven forbid
Well, your flash certainly did you a favor on this one, Terry. This is gorgeous. Love the beautiful colors. Check your mode dial. The mode underneath the automatic mode will turn off your flash. Just twist the dial.
Lovely image full of interesting patterns and colour Terry, I think its a man thing trying to work around a problem, if all else fails read the instruction or better still go on line someone out there knows the answer, best of luck:)
