(15) Taking photographs with manual flash off
u
Deliberately switching off the flash allows you to take atmospheric photographs in the twilight and inside buildings for example, or
you can take photographs in museums where the use of flash is prohibited. In this mode, the ambient light controls the shutter speeds,
even as far as long time exposure B where necessary (see “The automatically self-activating B function”, p. 107).
