I have pushed the flash button on the front of the camera and I get message “invalid selection.” When I push FN button, I do not get the choices listed in my manual. I only get 3 choices, none of them dealing with flash on or off. HELP!

You need to use it in the P A S or M mode.
In these modes the flash will only fire if you tell the camera you want flash.
If you are using the AUTO mode or a scene mode then flash is controlled by the camera.
P mode is the most like auto except you can over-ride certain functions as required, in this case it sounds ideal if you only want to over-ride flash.
Don’t use the “auto” mode ! Just use PASM (as every photographer would do) and flash will be manual !
that’s a result of using the automatic mode. In this mode, everything is chosen for you, and you have no choice in tha matter. If you’re outside, the flash won’t fire unless it’s necessary. If you want to use the flash, just use the Programme, Shutter priority, Aperture Priority, Or manual mode. Whilst using these modes, you don’t have to be at the mercy of the camera’s automatic flash fireing.
