I'm planning to get a 420 EX flash for my Elan 7e and will use it for occasional low 
light situations. 

According to Canon's PR: "The AF-assist beam of the 420EX is emitted automatically 
when necessary in low light situations [no EV stated] to ensure accurate focusing. It 
is capable of covering all 7 focusing points of the EOS Elan 7/7E by using two new 
*ultra-bright LEDs* [emphasis mine] that emit a cross-type pattern with vertical and 
horizontal stripes."

Just how intrusive is this assist beam? Will it be disruptive in a wedding 
chapel/reception (assuming flash is permitted) when you don't want people 
looking/glancing over at the flash?

Thanks.
