If you are in fully auto mode you may need to point the camera into a dark area or with the lens cap momentarily else the camera may not raise the flash, even if you press the flash raise button. My 3300 is a bit picky about raising the flash in fully auto mode if it thinks it isn't needed.
A tip, if the flash is overpowering the lighting is to drape a piece of white paper tissue over the flash, it will defuse the flash and cut it's brightness so it's a less intense pinpoint of light. A tab of sticky tape will hold it in place if needed.
