Solution

    In <>(Scene Intelligent Auto), < >(Portrait), < >(Close-up), or <> (Night Portrait) mode, the camera automatically judges the shooting environment to determine whether the built-in flash fires or not. Therefore, the built-in flash may automatically fire in low-light environments even if you do not want to use it.

    To prevent the built-in flash from firing automatically, change the shooting mode.
