How to start a sentence WITHOUT caps?

It is very unlikely that it's true, but since I can't find anything about it on the web and can't find it out myself I have to ask:

With the Smart Keyboard connected to my Pad Pro it seems impossible to start a sentence without a cap! I tried everything, but in Mail or Pages there will allways be a cap at the start of the line. I have to disconnect the Smart Keyboard in order to type the lower case letter before I can continue with the keyboard!

As I said, it seems so absurd that it cannot be true! A keyboard that expensive! What am I doing wrong?

iPad, iOS 9.2.1, iPad Pro with Smart Keyboard

Hi all, Finally I got the option to switch off Initial Capslock problem with smart keyboard.

Upgrade iPad Pro to iOS 10.1.1 and then you can find Hardware keyboard settings at Settings > General > Keyboard > Hardware Keyboard > Auto-Capitalisation

Turn off this option.

Because I decide what and how I want to write it!

Have you ever heard of poetry?

Found the solution! Settings - General - Hardware Keyboard - disable Auto Capitalization

Thank you SO much. This works perfectly. I had tried shift + caps lock; so I was close but that had not worked.

Again, thank you.

Very expensive solution. I am not sure that I want to give up auto-capitalization in the general case for the few times I do not want it.
