I have a D40 and for some reason, even when set on auto the flash keeps popping up. Is there something I am doing wrong to cause this??

It may be adding Matrix balanced fill flash to your scene. Try shooting in Manual mode and metering then setting the camera accordingly. If the flash pops up in all modes it may be a software problem. to reset the camera remove the battery for about 15 minutes the retry your shot after reinserting the battery.

Because it's too dark and the camera thinks it needs the flash. Get OFF auto mode.

Shell out 200 dollars for the Af-s 35mm f1.8G. Helps in low light.

It is what it is.
