[WONTFIX] built-in assist beam for 60D ?

[Karim]

use the little orange lamp that blink while timer count, I have no idea about coding but you give a command to the lamp to fire up while auto focusing, this feature is already available in some nikon's so I think it's easy to make, sorry for the bad English i hope you understand me well

Pretty sure that little orange light would only be useful for very close subjects.

It will be useful even if it can help just 10% I hope it can be added

[Audionut]

Thinking about it further, I doubt it would be useful at all.

That light has a large spread pattern.  It is also lacking in power.

So, at close focus distances, the lens would block a significant proportion of the light, and it doesn't have enough power to create sufficient contrast for AF at longer focus distances.

... but Canon wants you to buy a flash to get a working af assist :-p so no can do transforming the self timer selfie indicator lamp to something working.

yeah it would probably help like 0.001% at best

if you have two cameras, take a picture with one while the light on the other one is on (and the cameras are in close proximity) and show us the difference it actually makes.
