I have a doubt as to whether the 380EX is not intended to be compatible with the EOS300 body. The problem is that this camera uses the built-in flash for AF assist light, which works fine for any or all of the seven focussing points. And the 380EX also has a built-in AF-assist lamp which, however, works only for the central focussing point. So, when I manually choose any of the other points while using the external flash mounted on the body, it turns out that the AF-assist doesn't work at all. So my doubt is, is this the intended behaviour,(the only way out being to use central focussing point with the AF lock or use manual focus) or am I missing something really gross here?!
