Hi

I'm trying to improve the indoor accuracy of my AF with my Canon SL1. If I want to use an ST-E2 for focus assist, how do I set up the camera?

I wanted to try it too but found that my ST needs a special battery 2CR5, which is not included.

I used a cheap flash with IR light before. I don’t think any special setting is necessary, maybe you can play with AF assist light CF option, but it is very easy.
