when it happens..people ger worried thinkin it is harmful to the eye..thinking it may cause problems in them..

Lol, oh thats a good one
Ask yourself, do you really think SE would put a harmful light on something that supposed to be pointed at peoples faces?
It's just the focusing light so the camera knows how far away the objects are, and if it was Infrared, you wouldn't be able to see it. Like you can't see the light at the end of your TV remote...

I am sure it is in the manual whast the red light is for. The red light is the same as on most digital cameras these days. Its not there to cause permanent blindness.

lol the xenon flash probably does more damage to the eyes than the auto-focus light
