On the 400D they don't seem to do anything, is this also the case for the 30D? Did Canon just put the circle/lens there to make it look like they actually af-assist lamps when they don't?

Jan 30, 2007 09:26 | #3 Aah, never used the self timer, so I would have never seen it light up from that. I can't recall ever seeing it light up at all actually, but I don't guess I'm on that side of the camera when taking pictures. 400D, 50D, 7D, 550ex, 420ex, 380ex, 50mm f/1.4, 17-85 EFS, 70-200 L f/2.8, 28-70 L f/2.8, 100-400L http://www.melodysphotos.com
