2: Enable external flash only
If an external Speedlite is attached,  it will emit the AF-assist beam when 
necessary. The camera’s built-in flash  will not fire the AF-assist beam.
3: IR AF assist beam only Among external Speedlites, only thos e which have an infrared AF-assist 
beam will be able to emit the beam.  This prevents any Speedlite which

Basically operates like a built-in flash for easy operation.
When an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately) is attached to the 
camera, almost all the autoflash control is done by the camera. In other 
words, it is like a high-output flash  attached externally in place of the 
built-in flash.
For detailed instructions, see the EX-series Speedlite’s instruction 
manual. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features 
of EX-series Speedlites.
