Re: I have an issue using the built in flash on my EOS Rebel SL2, can you advise me?

If it's like some of the older Rebels I've had, make sure that 'easy wireless' is not turned on.  This is a very faint flash from the on-board flash unit that is intended to trigger an off-camera flash.  I've accidentally turned it on by mistake and it took me awhile to figure out what happened, and it did result in under exposed images.
