I have one of these on the way and was just wondering if I could use the AF assist light from the flash without having the flash fire? Thanks.

There should be one for "flash does not fire" or something along that lines. At least that is how it is for my 20D (never looked on my MkIIn), Derek

Maybe the 5DMkII doesn't have that Cfn since it doesn't have a pop-up? Not sure if it would be in the flash or not, I don't think it is on my 430EX I Derek
