It is normal to flash because the camera is focusing and for that it will open the diagragm of the lens and raise the iso for better focusing.

The lens is always wide open when focusing on Canon mirrorless cameras. Yes the camera is brightening the image to acquire focus but the aperture of the lens is not changing when this occurs.

If that is the explanation, everybody would see it.

Exactly! I’ve yet to see it myself and I’ve tried in very low light situations as well?
