Does the camera's "night mode" on the K700i actually have IR illumination to see in the dark? Or does it just turn the flash on?

um night mode turns on some sort of a low-level light boost, like a Gain feature sort of...

doesnt touch the flash, although the more light available in a night mode shot, the less grainy it gets...

it is pretty sh!tty though, so i stay away from using it

night mode doesn't do any physical enhancement to the images - it simply increases the image's brightness/contrast to sort of allow you to see a brighter (not better) picture. IMO this feature is useless.
resistance is futile.

Yes, completely useless. The "flash" seems like it would eat up a lot of power too, I wish it would only flash once during the taking of the photograph.
