You mean I saw the boxes indicating AF points reflected from the mirror instead? Definitely not! Those were circles, but I'll check again tonight to make sure those weren't the array circles aligned at the bottom of the mirror. > themselves are in the "floor" of the mirror box.

I've only managed to get the Elan7 to do that in Self-Timer delay + 30" Tv exposure mode. Bulb doesn't seem to work as I initially expected. Any tricks? > Don't think so. The EOS-3 AF sensor is CMOS too.

Did changing from one metering mode to the other help? Just a wild guess. Thanks Vicente.
