Sure - I use my flash setup that way all the time, but for quick grabs, the AF is lightning fast, even in room lighting. If it's too dark for the AF, I certainly would switch to manual. Not all candids require flash though, and some of the better ones indeed would be spoiled by flash. Well, I guess we'll have to beg to differ.
