To take pictures in an area where flash photography is prohibited or using indoor

lighting, the <P> (Program) (^68) mode setting is recommended.

When taking flash pictures of people at night or in dark interiors, we recommend

using “Red-eye Reduction” (->89).

AF-Assrst Beam

In dark locations, pressing the shutter button

down halfway causes the AF-assist beam
emitter to light. The AF-assist beam helps the

AF function.

The built-in AF-assist beam’s maximum range is 3.8 meters /12.5 ft.
When an EX-series external Canon Speedlite (optional) is used, the AF-assist

beam will be emitted either by the camera or external Speedlite depending on the

shooting conditions.

In the <S

a

> and <^> modes, the AF-assist lamp will not light.
