After shooting a picture using the pop up flash, is there any way to get the flash to drop back down other than powering the camera off?
thanks for the help.

Sort of makes it inconvenient if you want to leave the camera on and stick it in your pocket...but that's prolly not a good idea anyway. Pushing the flash button is fairly quick though...

It really isn't a big deal to hit the selector for the flash to turn it off.
