When I press the flash button in any creative shooting mode on my 7D the flash doesn't pop out. I set the camera in automatic and took a photo in low light to see if it would pop out on its own but it didn't. I used the flash once before when I bought the 7D almost 2 years ago but never used it again. BTW in flash control within the menu I have the flash set to enable. In built-in flash function settings when I press enter I get a message that says "The menu cannot be displayed. external flash is attached." There isn't any external flash attached on my camera so just wondering if this might be the reason why my flash doesn't pop out.

thanks
