That feature was requested by African safari photographers. It's a
special mode in which you hang the camera, with mirror locked up,
back open, and lens detached from the roof of your tent at night. The
camera continuously recharges the flash and the buzzing sound
attracts mosquitoes. If the musquito flies in from the lens flange
side, a modification of the predictive autofocus system estimates
when the mosquito will traverse the shutter plane, at which point the
shutter closes - chop! Like a guilotine.
It only reduces the risk of malaria by 0.75%, but hey, that's
something.
