Automatic Built-in Flash
In the Easy Shooting zone (other than
〈

and
〈

), the flash pops up automatically and
fires in low-light conditions or backlit daylight conditions. Press the flash back down when you
are finished using it.
AF-Assist Light
●
In dark locations, pressing the shutter button
down halfway causes the AF-assist light emitter
to light. The AF-assist light helps the AF function
focus the shot.
●
The effective range of the AF-assist light in focusing is approximately 3.8 m/12.5 ft.
●
When using an EX-series Speedlite for the EOS camera (sold separately), the AF-
assist light built into the camera or the flash operates, depending on shooting
conditions.
You can set AF-assist light to On or Off. (C.Fn-5
