GH5 What is this Icon on the GH5S, and how to turn it off?

Can anyone tell me what this icon is and how to turn it off so it does not display? I checked the manual and it looks like a flash icon?. Thanks!

Which I'm guessing means that a flash won't fire if it's mounted in the hot-shoe and turned on.

Thanks for the reply TheDingo! Perhaps that forced flash icon came on because I shot with the XLR mic adapter on the hot shoe yesterday.

Bingo. I shoot with the XLR shoe also, but I never paid attention to the "forced flash off" icon. Seems like an odd icon to put on the screen. ( it's too bad the XLR adapter couldn't be detected and then an XLR icon could appear instead )
