Page 117. The flash does not fire when closed.

No, the flash never pops up automatically.  You have to manually pop it up if you want it to potentially go off.  Having it up does not necessarily mean that it will fire, though.  One other thing that bugs me about the pop-up flash is that it's obstructed by the 16-50mm S lens.  It only works properly with smaller lenses.
