Hi,
Can someone help me clear this up. I have written to Canon and gotten a response, but it didn't quite answer my question or I didn't understand it!
Anyway this function is the AF-Assist Beam, now on some of your Point-And-Shoot cameras you have what I would expect to be this function. Whereas I am taking this to be, when you focus on a subject a physical beam is Emitted - As the function name suggests :shrug:
I.e I am expecting that I should see a little red/green dot or whatever on the actual subject. I am using the Camera in "TV" or "AV" mode so as to deliberitely not be in one of the basic zones where a lot of the Custom Functions are not active (I think).
But I'm afraid the manual doesn't really shed any light on it - Forgive the pun!
What I want to know is:- Should I see a little dot on the subject when I am focusing - When this is set to "EMITS".
If not then what the hell does this mean? Sorry if I sound stupid but I am a novice! :bang:
Thanks Guys
