Turn on built in flash light in nikon d7000?

Is there a way to keep the built-in flash light on all the time in nikon d 7000? Like i'm using the sports scene mode and i feel like i can use the flash light but the flash light only mostly comes on in the auto mode. May be the answer is in the manual, but as a beginner i feel like even though i'm reading the manual in english language, i do not understand most of the stuff.
can anyone help? Please!

Pressing the button might help!
I have the same on my sony, you need to pop the flash manually to use it when not in Auto.
hope this helps

I'm a Canon guy and use a couple of their dslr cameras. I never shoot in full auto for various reasons.

When is any mode other than full auto if you want flash you have to tell the camera by pushing the flash release button. As long as the flash is up the camera will "force" the flash and there by will operate for every shot regardless of light.

I do this quite a bit to light faces when my subjects are backed up to the sun or the brightest light source since their faces will be very dark without flash.

It only shoots in split second increments for still photos. It does not stay on like a flashlight.
