I guess Canon changed this setup on me. On my IX, the white light at that
location (on the body, not on the flash) is the AF assist AND Red-Eye
Reduction. So then the 7/7e actually flickers the flash tube for AF assist?
I wonder why they changed? Perhaps to allow a better clearance for large
lenses, I can see being on the flash head it would be a little higher.
