Is there a reason why I can’t select the flash mode? Do I need to hook up an external flash so I recognizes it so I can click on the flash mode?

In the manual (page 199), Flash Mode is grayed out. The chart shows "E-TTL II (Fixed)". I think that the Fixed means that there is only one choice, so it is grayed out.

On page 200, the External menu shows choices for Flash Mode based on model of flash.

Perhaps the Flash Mode line is present so that the Internal & External menus are the same.  Possibly another camera using the same basic software would have choices for Flash Mode.  [FYI, not grayed out on my 60D which has a Manual Flash choice perhaps not available on the T6.]

The manual that I referenced is http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/8/0300022698/01/eos-rebelt6-1300d-im-en.pdf
