[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 606270, member: 12496"] That's great that it's working, but my understanding is different. Maybe the new menus are different? But on my Nikons, that AF Assist menu (white light) has to be on in the menu. Then the speedlights capability turns off the white light somehow, and the speedlights AF Assist works instead. It's the same AF Assist function. Remove the hot shoe flash, and the white light works again. But for me, neither will work if the menu does not specify AF Assist. It's a little tricky sometimes to get it to work. There are some ifs and buts, but generally, the way I deal with it, it has to be AF-S with Single Point focus, which must be the center point. That is usually always my normal mode anyway. What's hard hard for me to remember sometimes, if you turn AF off on the lens, then no AF and no Assist. :) [/QUOTE]
