Can you turn off the flash?

Yes, just press the little ring on the right side and keep pressing it until it shows the lightning bolt with a ghost busters no sign over it. You can also turn it on for all shots...like when you are taking a picture of someone with a light or window behind them. Then there is also the automatic setting, which you can use most of the time. I like to use mine at teen dances at the school I work at. I go into the middle of a bunch of dancing kids in the very dim light, then hold my camera above their heads and press the shot button half way down. This makes the red light come on, and they all look up, so I take a GREAT picture!

As long as the device is plugged in the strobe will constantly be palsing. There is a knob on the back that allows you to adjust the speed of the strob but you cant turn it off unless its unplugged.

I couldn't find anything in the manual on if you can turn this feature off. I happen to like this feature.

I don't use the flash mode and don't like to see others using it at night. The steady mode is fine for night use and in the daytime I don't use the light.

Wish I could answer but I only use it on the camera and don't have another flash.

Yes, you can turn it off... But if the luminosity sensor consider that it's too dark the flash is going to shoot anyway.

There is a small button just below where the flash is housed that you press to pop it out and activate flash, I assume once its up it will continue to use flash as needed until you press it back down. Personally I like this feature since I prefer natural light photography.

Sorry, no you cannot. You can turn it off, up and down brightness control, but not permanently on.

On the D 5000 I'm not sure. On the D 5200 press the set button, select flash mode, then select off.

As far as I know, no you can't. I have had this camera for a year now and haven't found a way to turn it off

No you have to turn it off in the menu. I have read that the lens stabilization is better.

Hi Idrow, if you are pertaining to the AF illuminator, yes there is an option to turn it of by going to: MENU - (Settings) - (Shooting Settings) - [AF Illuminator] - OFF. Hope this helps. -Ely

I took some sample pics in the house at night with just lights on. They looked OK without the flash. I find with indoor pics I usually don't like the flash because it seems to wash out the photo.

You can not disable the strobe, but it is only activated when pressing the smaller button when the light is off. The main button defaults in the highest power, and once turned on, you can cycle through high, medium, low and back to high beam. I use the light in it's high and low beam only, and have no issues. I love the light and want to buy a second.
