I think it's the element of surprise, maybe a warning icon appearing on the screen would help. Yes, a picture really is worth a thousand words!

TomKelly Hatchling 4 posts Joined Feb 2013 More info | I agree that the erection of the flash cube can be a nasty surprise, and that that can be avoided by not using the "auto" setting. But just as annoying are the very delicate detents between the flash settings. You have to be very careful not to go past the desired setting. You have to stop everything; you can't walk and change settings at the same time.

And then it doesn't appear you can just press it down, you either have to go to menu settings to turn it off or shut the camera down.
