Yup...All of my Nikons have worked this way. If you want just a smidge or more of fill flash, just go to Menu, Custom setting, e3 Bracketing/flash on my D7100...other cameras may be a different, but probably have something similar. Then choose the level of compensation you need. If you take a lot of pictures of people, warn them about the "Pre flash" which precedes the main flash, and allows the camera to set the exposure. That may help, but some persons have a surprisingly rapid blink reflex....I think my daughter in law had the fastest blink in the known universe, and Archie, my little Shihtzu isn't far behind! I got this trick from Ken Rockwell. It works if you don't practice Back Button Focus. Custom Menu again, Controls f 4, find Assign AE-L-AF-L button, and choose the FV Lock option with the lightning bolt next to the F. Choose OK, and done. From now on when you are taking photos of people or pets, all you do is press the AE-L/AF-L button, and the camera or shoe mounted flash will give a blink, and as long as you are at the same distance, all subsequent pictures will be properly exposed. Good Luck!
