Is the ST-E2 a flash unit? In any case, how do you quickly switch between
using the a/f assist without flash and then using flash? I want to be able
to focus in low light for long flashless exposures and then without too much
adjusting of custom functions and so on be able to use the a/f assist and
take a flash picture. That is why I think the two functions, flash and a/f
assist, should be completely independent.
