Same with my Canon 20D, there?s some obscure setting 
for reducing the proportion of flash that is so obvious 
when you read the manual but immediately forgotten when 
you want to use it:-)

What?s funny is that the Canon manual recommends using 
manual focusing with their EF-S 60 mm AF Macro lens (so 
why build it with AF in the first place?):-)

Cheers
Douglas
